These Almost Ready to Fly (ARTF) aircraft require simple assembly of the fuselage and wings. Charge the battery and you're ready to fly!
The high wing Firebird and Aerobird aircraft are recommended for new flyers. These forgiving aircraft allow you to master the control of RC aircraft, building the skills required to successfully transition more advanced aerobatic aircraft.
Model aircraft should only be flown on calm days - particularly with a trainee pilot - and crashes are a part of the RC flying experience.
We maintain stock of the most commonly needed spares for these aircraft to get you flying again quickly.

Please follow the instructions carefully to test the transmitter range before flying and attaching a label with your name and address to the aircraft can improve the chances of recovering a lost plane.

Superb Semi-Scale aircraft are now available Almost Ready to Fly from Parkzone. Choose the from the Typhoon light aircraft for sedate aerobatics, or a range of classic warbirds including the famous RAF Spitfire, P-51D Mustang and Focke-Wulf 190 for high speed RC dogfighting.

Please note that the Parkzone warbirds are designed to offer fast and challenging flying for experienced pilots and are not recommend as a first aircraft for beginners. We advise learning to fly with Firebird and Aerobird aircraft to ensure a successful transition to the high speed world of aerial combat.

HobbyZone Firebird Commander Ready to Fly Aircraft (HBZ2500)

The Firebird Commander is supplied with 2-mode SmartTrak flight control software, making it suitable for successful first-time flights and aerobatic flying. A ready to fly electric model with a wingspan of 40 inches, flight times of over 15 minutes can be achieved. Batteries, charger and a 'Learn to Fly' DVD are included.
Spares and Accessories are available here.

The Firebird Commanders Smart-Trak software has two flight modes, making it suitable for first time flyers and those seeking a more advanced aircraft for aerobatic flight.
Standard Mode: Designed for first time pilots when a full right or left steering input is given, the rudders move beyond normal travel in the direction of the turn for about two seconds, then reduce at about 50% of maximum. This gives a strong initial control response, allowing for quick turns and responsive manoeuvring while preventing over-controlling and spiralling. In Standard Mode flying the Firebird Commander is as easy as driving around the sky and you don’t have to worry about crashes caused from over-controlling.
Expert Mode: Once you've mastered flying step up to the next level with the same airplane by unlocking the Expert Mode. The Firebird Commander gives increased control throw and response, allowing for more advanced aerobatic manoeuvres like spirals, wingovers, swooping dives and climbs. Even seasoned pilots will enjoy flying the Firebird Commander in Expert Mode.
In both Smart-Trak modes, the control throw is increased to maximum anytime the motor is in the Off position. This gives positive control even during glide and on approach to landing.

Everything you need to get flying is in the box! Transmitter uses a 8xAA batteries (supplied) while the aircraft has a Ni-cad battery pack and charger. An instructional DVD is included to help you start flying. Wingspan 40in. transmitter range 2500ft. flight time 15-18mins approx.
