Three Channels, Zone 1, Anti-Crash Technology –
New Pilots Get It All with the HobbyZone Firebird Freedom
The HobbyZone Firebird Freedom, now the second plane with revolutionary Anti-Crash Technology™ (ACT), makes it easier for new pilots to teach themselves how to fly with a 3-channel system, and then progress on to other larger and faster RC planes in the HobbyZone and ParkZone product lines. Additionally, X-Port technology makes the options for fun endless!
Zone 1 plane so no flying experience is necessary
Revolutionary Anti-Crash Technology, exclusive to HobbyZone, which actively monitors the plane’s orientation, as it relates to the ground and sky, and cuts the motor, in tandem with giving neutral steering and up elevator, if the plane enters a steep dive. This causes the plane to come out of the dive so the user can regain control. Once pilots gain experience flying, they can increase maneuverability and overall control by turning ACT off via the switch on the transmitter
3-channel radio system allows for pitch control so you can make tighter turns and have a wider range of maneuvers. ACT makes it easier for you to teach yourself how to fly with a 3-channel airplane
