Congratulations on your purchase of the HobbyZone
®
Firebird Freedom
™
RTF electric airplane. Your Firebird Freedom uses advanced Anti-Crash
Technology
™
(ACT) that allows you to safely train with a fully proportional
3-channel aircraft and radio system. The Firebird Freedom has built-in
sensors that look for the sky and horizon, and thanks to the specially pro-
grammed software, it can temporarily “take over” in the event that your
aircraft is put in danger from incorrect transmitter input. This will help to
prevent a crash, and keep you in the air!
Once you are more experienced and no longer need the training soft-
ware, you can simply turn off ACT with a flip of the transmitter switch.
When this is done, you will have full control, at all times, allowing you
to perform exciting maneuvers, such as loops and spirals. You can also
add exciting X-Port
™
accessories, such as the Sonic Combat Module
™
for aerial combat and the Aerial Drop Module
™
for dropping bombs.
Your Firebird Freedom comes complete with everything you need, all in
one box, to get you in the air and flying. A video compact disc (VCD) is
also included to give you some helpful hints before you take to the sky.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly and watch the VCD prior
to flying for the first time. This will greatly add to your flight experience
and help to ensure success on your first flight.
