Hobby Zone Firebird Scout
Hobby Zone Firebird Scout - Discontinued The Firebird Scout was very popular when first introduced. It replaced the Firebird Outlaw and Firebird IIST, but..... I really didn't like this plane. It had a habit of being very fragile, and the tailboom was prone to breaking on rough landings. The design just didn't cover the important basics of having a light and strong plane for beginners. It had a rather short production life and is now replaced by the Firebird Phantom, a much better airplane. Firebird Scout Product Description: The Firebird Scout is HobbyZone’s lowest priced Smart-Trak equipped airplane. It’s ready to fly in minutes and comes with everything you need, including batteries and an instructional video CD. It’s a rush to realize you can fly. With the Firebird Scout™ ready-to-fly RC plane from HobbyZone®, making this discovery – or helping someone else to - couldn’t be easier. Flying the Firebird Scout is so simple, you can actually teach yourself to fly. The only controls you have to master are power and steering. Exclusive flight control software analyzes and adjusts control inputs so you don’t over control and get into an unrecoverable situation. You get a smooth, successful first flight with none of the struggle and all of the fun. At the heart of this simplicity is HobbyZone’s Smart-Trak™ control system that gives you two ways to fly: Standard Mode and Expert Mode. If you’ve never flown before, Standard Mode keeps turns smooth and responsive without allowing you to turn too steeply. After you’ve mastered the basics, you can unlock Expert Mode for tighter turning performance. This opens the door to even more thrills, such as racing around pylons or spine-tingling spiral dives. It’s as though you have two planes in one!
