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.

Firebird XL with the new Fighterbird Wing? (from: hobbyworks.com) "The results were nothing less than phenomenal. With the Fighterbird wing in place, the XL is faster, more responsive, and penetrates the wind much better. When I tested it, each flight was better than the last (it did require re-trimming). On the fourth flight of the day, it spent 20 minutes in a thermal with the motor off before I brought it down to low altitude, where I shot three consecutive touch-and-goes followed by a perfect landing on the center stripe of DC/RC's runway!"

Flying a HobbyZone Firebird XL is a lot like driving a radio control car. You're virtually guaranteed a successful, fun filled RC flying adventure. Thanks to its innovative Flight-Trak control system, your Firebird XL can be flown smoothly and accurately with just two simple controls: steering and throttle. The throttle provides for cruise, climb and descent; the steering means you literally "steer your airplane" left and right through the sky. 
Launch with a rolling take-off and shoot touch-and-gos.
Dual wing braces for the polyhedral wing and a light- weight composite spar rod. These work together to substantially strengthen the wing and help prevent any warping. The wing is further strengthened by a factory mounted wing cap on the trailing edge that keeps the rubber bands from digging into the foam on the wing. 
The Firebird XL features a latch and rubber band that holds the canopy shut in flight.
The 380-size motor in the Firebird XL packs quite a punch. In several of our test flights, a straight-out climb at full throttle for about 45 seconds would put the Firebird XL at about 600 feet and almost out of sight.
