If damage is severe or if the wing or tail is
bent, replace damaged parts immediately.
See page 30 for a complete replacement

Warnings and Safety Checklist

1. Follow the instructions in this manual and
included video completely, observing all
directions. Otherwise, serious injury and/
or damage can occur. Think safety first.
2. Keep the propeller away from body
parts, even when it isn't spinning, as it
could be turned on by accident. Beware
of hair becoming entangled in the
propeller, especially while launching the
Firebird Commander ® 2 on a windy day
or injury may occur.
3. Do not fly when it's too windy (as described
in STEP 7) or you may lose control and
crash, causing injury or damage. Never
fly the Firebird Commander 2 near
people, vehicles, train tracks, buildings,
power lines, water, hard surfaces or trees.
Never allow anyone to attempt to catch
the Firebird Commander 2 while it's in
flight or serious injury can result.
4. Adult supervision is recommended for
pilots ages 12 and under.
5. Only use a battery charger intended for
use with the Firebird Commander 2
battery. Never leave a charger unattended
while charging a battery. This will help
prevent overcharging. While charging,
place the battery on a heat-resistant
surface. Do not lay it on carpet or
upholstery while charging. Never charge
the battery with the included charger for
more than 3 hours.
6. Never cut into the battery charger or
airplane wires or serious injury can occur.
Causing the battery to "short out"
(crossing negative and positive bare wires)
can cause fire, serious injury and damage.
7. Hold the plane securely, and keep all
body parts away from the propeller when
the flight battery is plugged in. When
you finish flying the Firebird Commander
2, always unplug the battery before you
turn off the transmitter.
8. Never fly on the same frequency as another
RC vehicle in your area. The frequency of
the Commander 2 is shown on stickers on
the back of the transmitter.
