  • Do you have to put rubber bands on the tail? I cant get the tail to move down.

  • @megacarl87 Yep. There should be a post on the bottom of each elevator (rudervator?) pointing downwards. One rubberband should be stretched from one post to around the front of the V-tail and back to the other post. That should pull it down for you. Of course, trim once it's installed.

  • Great video! I just bought a second hand version of this plane and one of those HK keychain cameras which I plan to mount. Where on the plane did you mount your camera?

  • I just put it on the side of the fuselage as close to the center of gravity as possible...  with duct tape!

  • hey can i ask how many hours of charging is needed with the wall charger and how many minutes of flight it will give you. pleaseeeeeeeeee

  • It takes about 2 to 4 hours of charging with the AC charger (U.S. flavor,120 V AC). The AC charger only gets the battery packs up to around 80% - 90% charge. I would top off the packs with the DC charger that came with the plane. As far as flight time is concerned, I was never much of an endurance flyer. I was always battling wind or interference so flights over 5 minutes felt like an eternity to me (still-it was great fun). I think flights of around 10 minutes is probably normal.

  • i bought a aerobird, 10 seconds after the launch my control box lost range, the plane flew away on full power and got lost forever.?. :(

  • a guy that lives behind me gave me one of these. where can i get a controller and charger for it? he broke the throttle of the controller and i doubt he still has the charger

  • Thanks for the comment. I used a stock Aerobird with no upgrades. it's a pretty good plane to start out with because it's not too fast or unstable. Learning control of the plane while it's at any orientation would be the goal. It's not the best when it comes to control but it's a lot of fun. Only tip I have is get at least one spare battery pack and maybe a wall charger. I would recommend getting one (or something similar) and giving it a go. Keep your wings level until you get altitude!

  • nice vid, cam is very smooth. did u need a more powerful motor because of the weight of the camera. i am considering buying one of these. (plane). it will be my first. any tips on it would be great. thanks
