HobbyZone Aerobird

HobbyZone's Firebird line of ready-to-fly airplanes, equipped with the easy-to-master Flight-Trak control system, has introduced thousands to the world of radio control flying. But the new 3-channel Aerobird takes instant RC fun to the next level. The Aerobird's third channel for pitch (elevator) control adds greater maneuverability and allows aerobatics like loops, tail slides and stall turns. Not recommended for first-timers, the Aerobird is the perfect step up for any pilot experienced in flying the Firebird or any other 2-channel airplane. The Aerobird allows these pilots to try their hand at exciting new maneuvers, paving the way to make the transition to more complex 4-channel or greater planes. For those who already fly RC airplanes with 3 or more channels, the Aerobird is a fantastic way to get a flying fix just about anywhere, anytime. At a park or at the local flying club, the Aerobird is instant flying gratification.

As with all HobbyZoneŽ airplanes, the Aerobird can be assembled and flying in less than 15 minutes. Everything needed to get flying is included: a 3-channel transmitter, rechargeable battery pack, variable-rate DC peak detection charger with auto-plug adapter, and an easy-to-follow manual and instruction video. HobbyZone even includes the 8 AA batteries needed for the transmitter. There is literally nothing else to buy.

       

Out of the box, the Aerobird is set up to give mild control response. Anyone who can comfortably fly a Firebird or other entry-level airplane will be right at home flying the Aerobird. Whether it's dives, wingovers, or swooping turns the Aerobird offers excitement and maneuverability unmatched by any 2-channel airplane. With the included 7.2-volt 900mAh Ni-MH rechargeable battery, flight times are typically in the 12-15 minute range. Climb performance is excellent, typically resulting in 100-foot climbs in less than 30 seconds. And 30-foot chrome Mylar streamers are included that attach to each wingtip for even more excitement.

For Firebird pilots wanting to take their skills to the next level or for experienced RC pilots looking for a fun diversion at the local park, HobbyZone's Aerobird offers the next step in flying fun.


Aerobird's three channels provide proportional speed, steering and pitch control, so you can "push the envelope" with faster and more exciting maneuvers.

How does HobbyZone's Flight-Trak system work?

 

 
Flight-Trak lets anyone, even if they've never flown before, fly with complete confidence using only steering and throttle like an RC car.

Flight-Trak controls steering using a V-tail. When a right turn is commanded, the left control surface deflects upward turning the airplane right. The right control surface remains neutral to help maintain altitude and stabilize the turn. The unique, triple-taper, polyhedral wing that all HobbyZone airplanes use also helps stabilize the turn by resisting over banking.

A left turn is made by movement from the right control surface. Note the left surface stays neutral. A right turn is made by movement from the left control surface. Note the right surface stays neutral.

Climb and decent are controlled using the throttle. When full throttle is applied, excess thrust, as well as the prop wash being blown over the V-tail surfaces, causes a Flight-Trak-equipped HobbyZone plane to climb. To descend, all pilots have to do is release the throttle to glide gently back to earth.

Ascent is achieved when full throttle is applied. Descent is achieved by releasing the throttle.
