HobbyZone Firebird Commander
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

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
