A call to instant action!

Model Airplane News, Nov 1999 by Chianelli, Chris

For the instant-gratification types, and, to be fair, for those with extremely busy schedules, the gang at Hobbico now makes entry to R/C flying almost effortless with the introduction of the new Action Series, which includes the Sun Pilot and the Zoom Pilot.

This series offers new pilots completely assembled, ready-to-fly, 2-channel airplanes, and there's no need to buy additional accessories. The radio takes care of the rudder and electronic speed control; you preset the elevator to adjust your climb rate prior to flight. As the battery power is discharged in flight, when the voltage drops to a preset level, the motor automatically shuts down and the remaining juice allows the airplane to be glided back to land.

New pilots will appreciate the instructional video, and the package also includes two rechargeable batteries, an AC wall charger and the only required tool-a screwdriver. Sounds as if they've thought of everything!
