AEROBIRD CHALLENGER RTF

Electric R/C Airplane

The Aerobird Challenger was created for the express purpose of giving experienced HobbyZone pilots, or any one who flies R/C, a ready-to-fly experience unlike any other. It's powerful motor, proportional 3-channel control system and big, highly effective control surfaces will have you flying circles around most any ready-to-fly right out of the box. Loops, stall turns, whip stalls - the Aerobird Challenger can do it all.

Features:

• Added X-Port allows accessories like the Aerial Drop Module and the Sonic Combat Module
• X-Pack tail with larger controls is standard
• Powerful 380 Motor for outstanding aerobatic and climb performance
• Fully proportional single stick controller with slide throttle and X-Port activation button
• Rechargable battery pack
• DC Peak Detect Charger
• "Flying the Aerobird Challenger" video CD
• Specially designed one-piece wing

Multi-Mode flight control:

The Aerobird Challenger’s Multi-Mode flight control software gives you two ways to fly. You can get the feel for the Aerobird Challenger using smooth, stable Sport Mode that combines HobbyZone’s Flight Trak control system with the added function of pitch. Once you’ve mastered Sport Mode, you can unlock Pro Mode for extreme V-tail maneuverability that’s perfect for aerobatics or aerial combat.

Sonic Combat Module:

The Sonic Combat Module (sold separately) emits a sonic "blast" with an effective range of up to 80 feet. To score a hit, get within 80 feet of another SCM equipped HobbyZone plane, lock onto their tail, and fire. When hit, the victim's Sonic Combat Module will emit a high-pitched tone and disable their motor for 10 seconds. During this time they will still have directional control so they can maneuver into position for a counter attack or make a safe landing.
