Only $89.95!
sorry, no longer available

 
The Cybird P1 is inexpensive and easy to fly, a perfect way to get started with radio-controlled flying birds, called ornithopters.

We are now offering the Cybird P1 in a receiver-ready version: This offers fully proportional control and lower cost by allowing you to use your own RC system. The Cybird is almost fully assembled. All you have to do is install your receiver/ESC, snap on the wings, and put in two screws to secure the tail.

    With practice, you might be able to catch the Cybird in your hand at the end of the flight. Normally it lands on the ground.

Cybird RC Flying Robot Bird

     
Here's what you need:
1. Receiver/ESC
2. Transmitter
3. Battery
4. Charger

      

 
Cybird P1 is easy to fly with two-channel radio control: Varying the throttle causes the bird to climb or descend. For steering, the whole tail moves left and right, just like a real bird. This is accomplished by a hobby-grade servo already installed.

Cybird P1 is about the size of a small hawk: 29 inch wingspan, 7.1 ounce weight. The small size makes it perfect for flying at your local park or school soccer field. Graphics printed on the fabric wing may differ from those shown.

Receiver/ESC: A combined receiver and electronic speed control simplifies wiring and saves weight. This one, from Mikro Designs, is only 4.5 grams! It works with any 72 MHz FM transmitter. A soft-cutoff feature keeps the wings flapping when the battery gets low. Made in USA!

  • Tip: Select your transmitter frequency below. If your frequency is not listed, leave it unselected and purchase the appropriate frequency crystal from your local hobby shop.

You will also need a two-cell (7.4 volt) lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 1200 mAh, a suitable charger, and a radio transmitter. Please support your local hobby shop when purchasing these items.

Spare parts are available. There is no need to order spare parts with your initial purchase. Order spare parts only if needed.
