- Revolutionary Anti-Crash Technology™ (ACT) is unique to HobbyZone and
ground breaking because there is no other technology on the market that
accomplishes what ACT does. It makes learning to fly easier and safer than
ever before.
- A one-box purchase, which means that everything that’s needed to get
flying comes in the box, including batteries for the proportional
2-channel transmitter
- A ready-to-fly design that allows users to get in the air quickly.
They simply need to attach the wing and landing gear, and install the
rechargeable battery pack, to get flying
- A powerful 380 motor that permits users to have great climb rate and
power while flying their Firebird Commander 2
- Two transmitter-selectable flight modes, with Anti-Crash Technology
“on” or “off”, for pilots to select the level of control they feel is best
given their flying skills
- A detailed instruction manual and video CD that instructs consumers on
the proper techniques and steps that need to be taken to get their
Firebird Commander 2 in the air and flying safely
- X-Port technology that allows pilots to use exciting plug-in
accessories, such as the Sonic Combat Module™ to dog fight with other
X-Port equipped planes, the Aerial Drop Module™ to drop bombs or a
parachutist, or the Night Flight Module™
- A soft, resilient rubber nose that cushions the force of impact and
decreases damage if the pilot has a hard landing
- A fully proportional 2-channel FM radio system, including batteries
for the transmitter, that is offered in six frequencies
- A rechargeable 6-cell 7.2V 900mAh Ni-MH battery pack
- An AC wall charger, with LED and timer, that charges your battery pack
in three hours when it is completely discharged
Overview
Nothing as exciting as Anti-Crash Technology (ACT) has happened to
entry-level radio-controlled planes since HobbyZone was introduced.
Here’s how it works:
Two sensors on the fuselage, one on the top and one on the bottom, monitor
the position of the plane in relation to the ground. When the plane is
flying level, the top sensor sees the sky while the bottom sensor sees the
ground, and they tell the onboard computer (receiver) that the plane is
flying correctly. If the plane enters a severe dive, the sensors detect the
change in orientation and react to the danger that the plane is then in. The
software in the receiver will then temporarily cut the motor, and correct
the severe angle and pitch of the plane. This causes the nose to come up and
pulls the plane out of the dive to help prevent the plane from crashing. The
pilot is then able to regain control. If pilots are flying correctly and do
not put the plane into a severe dive situation while ACT is engaged, they
will have complete control of the plane’s flight pattern. Once users gain
experience flying, they can turn ACT off.
Now, you can take advantage of this technological development by purchasing
a Firebird Commander 2. This plane comes with everything that you need to
teach yourself how to fly, including a battery pack for the plane, batteries
for the transmitter, and an instructional video and manual. All of this,
including the revolutionary Anti-Crash Technology, makes a price of less
than $100 seem like a steal. And, with the ability to shut ACT off, it’s
like you get two planes in one. You can learn to fly with ACT engaged, and
then shut it off to fly more aggressively and to use X-Port modules, such as
the Aerial Drop Module (HBZ6023), Sonic Combat Module (HBZ4020) or the Night
Flight Module (HBZ3510). Because flying at night is very difficult, you
should be quite experienced before you attempt to use this module and the
ACT software should be shut off.
