Hobby Zone Aerobird Challenger

Hobby Zone Aerobird Challenger - Discontinued

The Hobby Zone Aerobird Challenger was my 3rd Hobby Zone plane. At the time it was the Hobby Zone "Gateway" to aerobatics. It had increased power and 3 channel control which allowed the intermediate pilot to learn aerobatics. This plane is replaced by the Aerobird 3.
