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. |
