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.
