Planes - Help and Advice
Nothing as exciting as Anti-Crash Technology (ACT)
has happened to entry-level radio-controlled planes since HobbyZone
was introduced.
Here’s how it works:
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
that the plane is then in. 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 plane’s flight pattern. Once users gain
experience flying, they can turn ACT off.
Now, you can take advantage of this technological development by
purchasing a Firebird Commander 2. This plane comes with everything
that you need to teach yourself how to fly, including a battery pack
for the plane, batteries for the transmitter, and an instructional
video and manual. All of this, including the revolutionary Anti-Crash
Technology, makes a price of less than £100 seem like a steal. And,
with the ability to shut ACT off, it’s like you get two planes in one.
You can learn to fly with ACT engaged, and then shut it off to fly
more aggressively and to use X-Port modules, such as the Aerial Drop
Module (HBZ6023), Sonic Combat Module (HBZ4020) or the Night Flight
Module (HBZ3510). Because flying at night is very difficult, you
should be quite experienced before you attempt to use this module and
the ACT software should be shut off.
