Default RE: Firebird Phantom problems?

thanks for the info dax. And nice hangar, too. I'll give the Swift landing gear a shot. Did you have to trim the phantom at all when testing out the new gear?

Also, I have to disagree with what's been said about the ACT. The ACT really helped me in flying my phantom--it saved me from many nearly-fatal crashes. The trick is to get the bird up pretty high, I'd say 120 feet+, to practice your skills. The height will allow time to correct an uncontrolled dive and the ACT is there to back you up. I don't fly with the ACT anymore, but I would recommend the option to any new pilots out there. just my 2 cents.

And if someone knows of a wireless video recorder small enough to fit on a phantom, let me know. I'd like to do some aerial videos with the phantom!!!

Thanks guys
Mike
