RC Firebird Commader II

http://www.otherlandtoys.co.uk/rc-firebird-commander-p-837.html

For first time pilots, HobbyZone's Firebird Commander 2 makes learning to fly easier than ever.

This Firebird Commander 2 comes ready to fly (RTF) with everything that you need to teach yourself how to be a pilot, including a battery pack for the plane, batteries for the transmitter and an instructional video and manual.

Anti-Crash Technology™

With a revolutionary anti-crash technology (ACT) the Firebird Commander 2 makes learning to fly easier and safer than ever before.

Two sensors on the fuselage, one on the top and one on the bottom, monitor the position of the plane in relation to the ground.

When the plane is flying level, the top sensor sees the sky while the bottom sensor sees the ground, and they tell the onboard computer (receiver) that the plane is flying correctly.

If the plane enters a severe dive, the sensors detect the change in orientation and react to the danger.


Anti-crash technology Ready to fly (RTF)

The software in the receiver will then temporarily cut the motor, and correct the severe angle and pitch of the plane. This causes the nose to come up and pulls the plane out of the dive to help prevent the plane from crashing.

The pilot is then able to regain control. If pilots are flying correctly and do not put the plane into a severe dive situation while ACT is engaged, they will have complete control of the plane's flight pattern.

Once you have gained a higher level of confidence and experience, you can switch the ACT off. With this increased manoeuvrability, seasoned pilots can even race around pylons or engage other pilots in aerial combat.

X-Port for Xtra Fun

For extra fun and excitement, the Firebird Commander comes standard with an innovative X-Port that lets you add exciting optional plug-in accessories like the Sonic Combat Module and Aerial Drop Module and Night Flight Mode (all sold separately).

Plug in the Night Flight Module (sold separately) that offers loads of fun for experienced pilots. Remember to turn off the ACT software before you take flight at night.
Plug in the Sonic Combat Module (sold separately) and take on similarly equipped HobbyZone planes in aerial combat. When "hit" the SCM temporarily disables your motor, while allowing you to steer.
Plug in the Aerial Drop Module (sold separately)and you can drop a streamer bomb or parachute, both of which are included with the ADM




The Firebird Commander is ideal for beginners and expert pilots allowing them to select the level of control they feel is best given their flying skills.

Don't get the 2-channel version, it's a pain to learn.

It always flips on even cut grass and the tail is so light that it doesn't want to lift off when doing a wheel takeoff. (Lack of elevator control)

yer it good i got 1 today 4 xmas

[anim8ordude]

I have one, but we lost the battery pack and I'm fixing it up now, but they're INCREDIBLY easy to fly. Very simple take off, they're quite sturdy, and they'll last ages if you can land them well.

They are good begginer planes. If you but one you should also buy spare parts as well, especially an extra wing or two. I would also reccomend and extra battery pack and some rubberbands for the wing. Mine took a beating and it held up good until i had to replace the tail section. When i finally got it on, it never flew straight again.

[rocked77]

are they good planes?
