Anti-Crash Technology
With a revolutionary anti-crash technology (ACT) the Firebird Commander
2 makes learning to fly easier and safer than ever
before.
Two sensors on the fuselage, one on the top and one on the bottom, monitor
the position of the plane in relation to the ground.
When the plane is flying level, the top sensor sees the sky while the
bottom sensor sees the ground, and they tell the onboard computer (receiver)
that the plane is flying correctly.
If the plane enters a severe dive, the sensors detect the change in orientation
and react to the danger.

The software in the receiver will then temporarily cut
the motor, and correct the severe angle and pitch of the plane. This causes
the nose to come up and pulls the plane out of the dive to help prevent
the plane from crashing.
The pilot is then able to regain control. If pilots are flying correctly
and do not put the plane into a severe dive situation while ACT is engaged,
they will have complete control of the planes flight pattern.
Once you have gained a higher level of confidence and experience, you
can switch the ACT off. With this increased manoeuvrability, seasoned
pilots can even race around pylons or engage other pilots in aerial combat.
X-Port for Xtra Fun
For extra fun and excitement, the Firebird Commander comes standard with
an innovative X-Port that lets you add exciting optional plug-in accessories
like the Sonic Combat Module and Aerial Drop Module and Night Flight Mode
(all sold separately).
