 FIREBIRD COMMANDER 2
The Commander 2 has everything you need to go flying in one box. It simply needs the landing gear attached and the rechargeable 7.2volt battery (which is also included) charged and installed. The kit also includes a Hobbyzone A.C. wall charger with LED and timer, a fully proportional two channel radio, detailed instruction manual, and a ‘learn to fly’ C.D. To get into the air even quicker a 12volt charger (HBZ1026) is available as an optional extra which is a faster option for charging

The new Firebird Commander is a complete ready to fly package that comes with the very latest technology to make learning to fly as simple as can be. Revolutionary Anti-Crash Technology (A.C.T.) is unique to Hobby Zone and no other technology on the market offers what A.C.T. does.

Here’s how it works; two sensors on the fuselage, one on top and one on the bottom, monitor the position of the ground, and the sky while the plane is flying level, however, if the attitude of the plane gets into a steep dive the sensor will detect this and react to the danger by cutting the motor temporarily, and then correcting the severe angle and pitch of the plane, pulling it out of the dive and so prevent the plane from crashing. Because A.C.T. knows how the plane is oriented, Hobby Zone’s engineers can give the pilot greater control, while simultaneously providing better protection than previous systems. The A.C.T. function is also selectable so that more experienced pilots can turn it off. In addition to A.T.C., the Commander has a soft rubber nose and flexi steel landing gear, just in case of a bumpy landing, and for added fun, X-Port technology allows pilots to use the exciting range of plug in accessories, such as the Sonic Combat Module, Aerial Drop Module (to drop bombs and parachutes) or the Night Flight Module that illuminates the model to allow for night flying

With X-port the flying experience is taken one step further with the addition of combat and aerial drop capabilities with plug-and-play accessories like the Sonic Combat Module and Aerial Drop Module. With the Aerial Drop Module bombs and parachutes can be released at the press of a button and if more than one plane can be airborne the addition of a combat module on each means the pilots can indulge themselves in the ancient art of aerial combat. The making of a Hobbyzone Ace!

ACT actually analyses the way the plane is flying and ensures it doesn’t fall into a dangerous dive. Two sensors monitor the attitude of the plane in relation to the ground, when its flying level the top sensor sees the sky and the bottom the ground. Together they tell the computer the plane is flying correctly. If it enters a threatening dive, and the top sensor detects ground instead of sky the computer will correct the control input and back off the throttle to help regain control. Once the pilot has gained experience ACT can be switched off.
