Our mission at HobbyZone

®

is to make sure you have success

and safe fun with the Firebird IIST

™

and learn a few things

along the way. 

Congratulations on your purchase of the Firebird IIST

™

—a

radio-controlled airplane that allows you to have success as 
a complete beginner, as well as expand to more advanced
maneuvers as you improve in your flying abilities. 

The Firebird IIST is equipped with revolutionary software:
Smart-Trak

™

. When Smart-Trak is in Standard Mode, it auto-

matically recognizes mistakes beginners often make (such as
over-control) and compensates for them, while also increasing
control during gliding with the motor off to maintain positive
control. This software makes the Firebird IIST one of the 
easiest planes to fly.
