Even More of a Fun Thing HobbyZone's new Firebird XL RTF R/C Airplane
Never in a million years could we
dream that the folks at HobbyZone would come up with something as fun and easy
to fly as the Firebird. Were we ever pleased to be wrong! The new Firebird XL
takes all of the simplicity and fantastic flying manners of the first Firebird
and adds more size, more power, and legs-that's right, landing gear! Now you can
launch with a rolling take-off and shoot touch-and-go's. Not since . . .well . .
. the first Firebird has ready-to-fly been this much fun.
More is better The main
differences between the first Firebird and the new XL version are size and
power. The XL's larger 40" wingspan, bigger fuselage, and more powerful Mabuchi
380 motor allow it to be flown in windier conditions. Beginners shouldn't fly it
with any more wind than about 8 mph, but experienced pilots should be able to
fly the XL with confidence in 12-15 mph winds.
