    Yeah I'll try to find those parts. Itll probably be a while before i ever trust myself to do anything. I hope to hell i dont forgot how to freaking breathe somehow in middle of the night, but at this point it wouldnt surprise me any.

      Fix it Matt! Don’t forget Fleabay and CL - great source of parts at times.

        While I did not take mine today, another club member took his - said he had it for a year and didn’t expect much. When I got there he was in the process of swapping the reciever. Said he lost signal when it was more than about 50 feet away. It climbed out and turned around and he was able to restore control and landed. He flew it 2 x’s and seemed to be having fun with it. On the 3rd flight, about half a battery in, it suddenly went nose down and into the dirt nap...
        Needless to say that was a huge bummer, as she started the morning new.
        I found all of the same issues as mine post crash, which was nearly identical. His nose damage was much more significant, but I think the motor is actually OK. That said, he offered it to me - gratis, minus the new reciever he put in. I actually think I could put it back together with a pan of hot water and some TLC with Gorilla glue.
        Flip side, the AZ sun wrecked my canopy first day out, but now I have a replacement.
        Got at least a dozen flights on mine and having fun with it, but I did address all of the weak points which were the topic of many a poor review.

          DAAAANG! I've done 3 carbon z cubs that way! One from clipping the very top of a 60' pine tree, another from low altitude aerobatics, & the most recent from unsoldered battery lead. Rebuilt each time. Now they're discontinued too so parts will start to be hard to find.

                  Killed my PZ P-51. Went into a death spiral at about 300 feet. Took me ages to find all of the pieces in the tall grass.

                                  After 2 weeks of business travel, finally got back home and out to the field this morning. Since the forecast is rain all weekend, I squeezed in a flight on the Little Bird and the maiden of the FMS P-40B less than an hour before the rain started.

                                        Give me a review of this plane, are you happy and how does it compare with the rest of the product out there? Thanks

                                          It's alright...I traded for it (had never been flown) I wouldn't have bought one, I'm more into the military planes.
