Ok.

What's yours made of? Mine was made of "High Strength Graphite" which I promptly proved wrong.

You try flying a 2 ch airplane. I bet a 3 ch would be easier, all you have to control up/down motion is the motor-not real effective.

Really not sure how. Mabye take some aluminum tubing (do they make that?) and replace the graphite part with that? The only problem is the graphite part is like super forever epoxied in there from the factory.

IDK, if I don't get it running right, I'll scrap it. Only $40, which ain't that bad to learn a good lesson.

Any replacement would have to be real close to the weight of the original part or the center of gravity would be affected and that sucker will never fly again.

Welp it's in like 3 peices now...I had a nice fly though, prolly about 45 seconds in the air! I got about a block away and brought it back but then the wind took it straight into the ground. I think I can fix it though, just more tape and some CA

Firebird Commander 2 RTF Electric
Anti-Crash Technology is the most innovative development to ready-to-fly airplanes since HobbyZone began. Optical sensors detect the ground and sky, and then give input that pulls the plane out of a spiral dive that could lead to a crash.

Retail: $109.99
MAP: $84.99 $60.00

Product Number: HBZ2600


Features

Revolutionary Anti-Crash Technology™ (ACT) is unique to HobbyZone and ground breaking because there is no other technology on the market that accomplishes what ACT does. It makes learning to fly easier and safer than ever before.
A one-box purchase, which means that everything that’s needed to get flying comes in the box, including batteries for the proportional 2-channel transmitter
A ready-to-fly design that allows users to get in the air quickly. They simply need to attach the wing and landing gear, and install the rechargeable battery pack, to get flying
A powerful 380 motor that permits users to have great climb rate and power while flying their Firebird Commander 2
Two transmitter-selectable flight modes, with Anti-Crash Technology “on” or “off”, for pilots to select the level of control they feel is best given their flying skills
A detailed instruction manual and video CD that instructs consumers on the proper techniques and steps that need to be taken to get their Firebird Commander 2 in the air and flying safely
X-Port technology that allows pilots to use exciting plug-in accessories, such as the Sonic Combat Module™ to dog fight with other X-P
