You got it right! This one was a gift from a friend who crashed it, and I have liked it so much, it has seen more time in the air than any of my other planes.
If it gets too full of glue, Hobby Lobby sells individual parts. :)

I have one too, haven't flown it in awhile, got bored of the S400 performance. I bet it would fly good with a Mega and lipo! Would have to beef up the wing for sure!

The final gusts make me nervous every time.
I keep flipping my aerobird b/c of it.
I get the gust, over compensate with a little down elevator and she goes in with too much momentum forward of the gear...right onto her roof.

I loved my Terry very much. I still have it, but I've retired it due to over use. It just won't fly right anymore. But that's ok, because I flew the hell out of it. I'm sure I'll buy another one someday. But I'm going to stick a brushless outrunner or something in it and 3s lipo.
