I have the fighterbird. I love it because it is easy to fly and durabable. I have crashed into alot of stuff and it has survived. My only problem is a resent one. The motor goes on and off erraticly without me touching the conrtoler. the weirder part is that if i roll it to the right 45 degrees it goes back to normal. but any strait up or to the left, it turns on. i also noticed that by slightly pushing on the fussalage it turns on. also moving it around will turn it on of off. don't know what to do. problably from a crash so don't hit any trees if you have one. but other than that i love it. PS the ruder control still works so i know its not the transmitter, and the remote still conrols the plane when it is on its side.

Help me,
Alex

im no expert on fighterbirds but sounds like some loose wires to me. you may have to do some soldering. i imagine that the fuse is gonna be hard to get into also...i had a firebird xl but never had to bust into the fuse of it.

thought it was wire but checked all of them. now i think it is a problem in the speed conrtol thing

hmm

could be the ESC...i think the fighterbirds and firebirds all have the integrated board of components. i dont know if you'll be able to repair it. you could always just buy a new fuse

I wrote to the manafactuer. hopefully they will be stupid enouht to send me a new chip

heh, that would be cool if they did. you should rip em a new one for not building a plane that could sustain multiple crashes.
