RE: bought a firebird scout, good looking plane

Yes this seems to be a common problem with the Scout, and I had my first one replaced for exactly the same reason. The replacement they sent me was fine until it crashed a few times and now the rod...

RE: bought a firebird scout, good looking plane

Thanks for letting me know that, Ho, and I suspected as much - but OUCH. I do find your reference offensive and don't think it has any place here on the RCU boards where the umbrella is cast wide to...

RE: bought a firebird scout, good looking plane

I have also had problems with the tail rod disengaging from where it fits into the fuselage after a few crashes - and not even severe crashes. At this point I can't seem to get the plane properly...

RE: FMA Skysprite RTF

Fortuna California on the 101 (along the north coast of California) is the nearest town to where I live that has a hobby shop. I'm going to check them out next week to see what they have there..

Thanks, Greg and Simpleton. Simpleton: which model of Funcraft did you buy and where did you get it? Did you install the tail rotor onto the Funcraft?

RE: FMA Skysprite RTF

Hey Greg that's a great idea. Is the Lightning wing removable with an Exacto knife to replace the Skysprite wing?

RE: FMA Skysprite RTF

Thanks Greg. My Skysprite, after too many crashes, was not steering reliably at all (too much packing tape?) and now is about 60 feet up in a fir tree nestled deeply in its branches. My only real...

RE: FMA Skysprite RTF
