Optional Parts and Accessories
There are optional parts and accessories that you
can buy to make your flying experience more fun.
In addition to X-Port
™
items, you can also purchase
additional battery packs to keep your downtime to
a minimum.
Your Firebird Freedom
™
comes equipped with an
8.4V 1000mAh Ni-MH Battery Pack (HBZ1013).
It is helpful to have an extra one or two of these on
hand while you’re flying so that one can be charg-
ing while you’re using the other ones.
Replacement and Optional Parts (continued)

Once you’ve mastered flying your Firebird
Freedom,
™
we recommend that you try
another 3-channel plane from HobbyZone
®
for the most successful transition to using
larger and faster 3-channel airplanes. The
Aerobird Challenger
®
is a great next step,
but you could also try the Aerobird Xtreme.
™
Both of these aircraft are X-Port
™
equipped,
so you’ll still be able to have fun with the
X-Port accessories you use with your Firebird
Freedom. Be warned, however, that the
Aerobird Xtreme is much larger and heavier,
and will therefore fly much faster than the
Aerobird Challenger. If you choose to go
from flying the Firebird Freedom to fly-
ing the Aerobird Xtreme, we recommend
that you have a very experienced RC pilot
with you for your first flights until you get
comfortable flying a larger, faster airplane.
Reacting to difficult situations with the
Firebird Freedom is much different than
with the Aerobird Challenger and Aerobird
Xtreme since they do not have ACT
™
and
those two airplanes are bigger and faster.
We hope you enjoy flying your new Firebird
Freedom, and thank you for supporting
HobbyZone. Please let us know how we
can help you in the future. We hope your
flights with this plane are just the beginning
of a long and positive RC experience. Best
wishes in the hobby.
Sincerely,
The HobbyZone Team
