Default Firebird freedom

I usually fly helis, but decided to fly a plane (cause they just look like so much fun), so i got the firebird freedom, because the box convinced me to. But one problem, when ever you hand launch the thing, it gets a wingtip stall (left wing) and crashes. Ground take off in a grass field is a bit hard because it tends to tip. Apparently i'm not the only one with this problem. I just haven't found any solutions on the web. (the only field i can fly at is a grass field).

Default RE: Firebird freedom

I know you posted this a long time ago but...My firebird did that when it was new. Look at your two wing halfs and see if one is a slightly different shape than the other. On mine I realized that one wing half was warped which caused it to tip stall. I just went out and spent the $14 to get a new wing. It fixed the problem and has been working fine since. Maybe this'll work for you too.
