The Freedom Flyer is the ideal choice for novice
pilots and those who have some skill and experience. With precision control
of motor speed, rudder, and elevators, powerful motor, and large wing,
successful flights using 3 of the 4 available channels are possible for first
time flyers.
For the advancing flyer, installation of available
replacement upgrade wing with controllable aelerons makes rolls and inverted
flying possible using the 4th transmitter channel. Speeds up to 50 mph are
possible. Ground take-off is easy with powerful motor and battery.
WE WANT YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL ON YOUR FIRST DAY OF FLIGHT!

Turnertoys Flight Central has flight-tested the
Freedom Flyer, as we
do with almost all of our flying toys. It is recommended for beginners, and
children as young as 12 years old. If you
follow our recommended beginner's training process (included with your
purchase, and exclusive to Turnertoys Flight Central), you will be able
to avoid major crashes, and enjoy thrilling extended flights of up to 15
minutes with this airplane.
1. The first-time pilot will need a
large, level, unobstructed area to learn basic control techniques. At up to 50
mph, this plane covers distance pretty quickly. School
athletic fields of sufficient size (about 5 acres) are ideal for this. Trees, buildings, and
people are all potential hazards until you learn how to control the plane.
2. As a beginner, you will crash the Freedom Flyer. We
had several major crashes until we figured out how to control it. That's why we
developed a beginner's training protocol, which is included with your
purchase. The airplane is very crash resistant: we hit trees twice (and got
the thing hung up both times), a fence once, and nosed it into the ground a
few times, twice under full power. We chipped the wing a bit once, and fixed
it with a bit of clear packing tape. (The plane still flies as good as new.)
The only thing that actually broke was the propeller. Twice. After about 10
flying sessions, we also needed to replace one of the Wing Hold-down
Tubes and 2 of the Hold-down Rubber Bands. That's why we
strongly recommend that you buy the Complete Freedom Flyer Package,
which includes these items. Additional replacement parts are
available if you need them.
3. The DC
Peak Detect Field Charger included in the Complete Freedom Flyer Package
charges the battery in as little as 45 minutes, and beeps when finished. Since
it can draw power from your car battery, you can charge batteries "in the
field" and keep flying without interruption. It can be used to
charge a variety of batteries in addition to the Freedom Flyer's power pack.
For this reason the Complete Freedom Flyer Package also includes 2 extra 8.4v power packs.
