Expanding Flight
Performance
For first time pilots, HobbyZone’s Firebird
Commander™ makes learning to fly easier than ever.
Plus once you’ve earned your wings, the Firebird
Commander easily converts via an onboard
programmable computer chip to Expert Mode, offering
increased control response for exciting maneuvers
like wingovers, dives and even pylon turns.
Smart-Trak™
Technology
HobbyZone’s Firebird Commander features a
revolutionary flight control system called Smart-Trak.
With Smart-Trak, an on-board time-based computer
adjusts control throws based on selected modes,
conditions and throttle positions significantly
improving the flight handling and performance. The
difference is amazing, and the Firebird Commander is
the only airplane available featuring the Smart-Trak
control system.
Standard Mode:
Designed for first time pilots, Standard Mode gives
positive control response, while preventing the
common problem of crashes caused form
over-controlling and spiraling. When a full right or
left steering input is given, the rudders move
beyond normal travel in the direction of the turn
for about two seconds. This gives a strong initial
control response, allowing for quick turns and
responsive maneuvering. If the stick is held over
for more than 2 seconds, the rudders automatically
reduce throw (about 50%), maintaining the turn yet
preventing over-controlling and spiraling. With
Standard Mode activated, flying the Firebird
Commander is as easy as driving around the sky, and
you don’t have to worry about crashes caused from
over-controlling. Now anyone can fly successfully
the fist time out!
Expert Mode:
After you’ve mastered the basics, take it to the
next level and unlock Expert Mode. Enter Expert Mode
by simply turning on the Firebird Commander first,
and then turning on the transmitter switch with the
throttle stick in the full throttle position. In
Expert Mode, the Firebird Commander gives increased
control throw and response, allowing for more
advanced maneuvers like spirals, wingovers, swooping
dives and climbs. Even seasoned pilots love flying
the Firebird Commander in Expert Mode. With this
increased maneuverability, you can even race around
pylons or engage other pilots in aerial combat.
In both Smart-Trak
modes, the control throw is increased to maximum
anytime the motor is in the Off position. This gives
positive control authority even during glide and on
approach to landing.
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 (both
sold separately).
 |
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. |
 |
Race around pylons,
shoot touch-and-go's and take on other
Firebird Commander pilots in thrilling aerial
combat. |

hi, my name is jay and i am 17, i have just recently bought a
FIREBIRD II and i am verry happy with it! i have crashed it alot and it has stood up to the damage that a normal rc plane
would die from, i am amazed that it just keeps on flying. i think i will be
buying the fighterbird as well. there is one thing i think you might think about
fixing on the models if you allready havent and that is that when it crashes the
wing comes out of place quite easilly and the motor gets thrown forward from
momentem maby a few ajustments on the designe of the plane around the wing and
motor area. but over all guys i give this plane a 10 outa 10 well done!:D
Regards J
IEM: Thanks
Jay! The way the wings and motor are held on prevents damage
during the rougher landings.
Hello, My name Is Fred. I am 54 years
old and my son David is 20. We have been flying rc planes for the past
4 years. We have better than 30 planes in flying condition all of
which are gas engined, from fun fly to large scale. There are about 10
guys in the club who fly strictly electric and are really into it.
They have just about everything imaginable. Although I'm
impressed with some of these electrics, I really didn't want to take
the time to build and research (motors,flight packs, speed
controls, ect). Last Sunday at the clubs flying field one of my
freinds Don (who ones his own Hobby Shop) brought a aerobird to the
field. As soon as I seen it fly, I couldn't wait to get my own.
The big payoff for me is I don't have to build and research (its all
there, ready out of the box) and I can continue building the
planes awaiting on the shelf and I don't always have the time to
tavel 50 miles round trip to the field during the work week. I have a
large open field just accross the street not large enough to fly
gas.There are many evenings I would like to fly,but don't have ample
time. Now I just walk across the street and I'm flying. I am
really having a blast with the aerobird. Its a lot of fun to fly.
Much to my amazement my wife said she would like to have one (She has
never shown interest in rc flying before). Went to the Hobby Shop and
purchased two more for my wife and son. Can't wait to get the
high performance upgrade. Its on order.
