Firebird Phantom
™
RTF electric airplane. Your Firebird Phantom comes complete with
everything you need, all in one box, to get you in the air and flying.
A video compact disk (VCD) is also included to give you some helpful
hints before you take to the sky. Your Firebird Phantom uses advanced
Anti-Crash Technology
™
(ACT) that allows you to safely train with a fully
proportional 3-channel aircraft and radio system. The Firebird Phantom
has built-in sensors that look for the sky and horizon, and thanks to the
specially programmed 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 the push of a button. When this
is done, you will have full control, at all times, allowing you to perform
exciting maneuvers, such as loops and spirals.
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.
