Aerobird Challenger
|

Overview
The Aerobird
Challenger was created for the express purpose of
giving experienced HobbyZone pilots, or any one who
flies R/C, a ready-to-fly experience unlike any
other. It's powerful motor, proportional 3-channel
control system and big, highly effective control
surfaces will have you flying circles around most
any ready-to-fly right out of the box. Loops, stall
turns, whip stalls - the Aerobird Challenger can do
it all.
As with all HobbyZone
airplanes, the Aerobird Challenger can be assembled
and flying in under 15 minutes. Everything needed to
get flying is in one box, including a 3-channel
transmitter, rechargeable battery pack, variable
rate DC peak detection charger with an auto-plug
adapter and an easy-to-follow manual and instruction
video CD. HobbyZone even includes the 8 "AA"
batteries needed for the transmitter. There is
literally nothing else to buy.
The
Aerobird Challenger’s Multi-Mode flight control
software gives you two ways to fly. You can get
the feel for the Aerobird Challenger using
smooth, stable Sport Mode that combines
HobbyZone’s Flight Trak control system with the
added function of pitch. Once you’ve mastered
Sport Mode, you can unlock Pro Mode for extreme
V-tail maneuverability that’s perfect for
aerobatics or aerial combat. |

The
Sonic Combat Module (sold separately) emits a
sonic "blast" with an effective range of up to
80 feet. To score a hit, get within 80 feet of
another SCM equipped HobbyZone plane, lock onto
their tail, and fire. When hit, the victim's
Sonic Combat Module will emit a high-pitched
tone and disable their motor for 10 seconds.
During this time they will still have
directional control so they can maneuver into
position for a counter attack or make a safe
landing. |

Challenge
friends to target practice or see who can get
the longest parachute hang time with the Aerial
Drop Module. The ADM (sold separately) uses an
innovative electro-magnetic release mechanism
that lets X-Port-equipped HobbyZone airplanes
drop a streamer bomb or parachute, both of which
are included. |

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.
