Thoughout 2008 and 2009 we struggled to satisfy demand for the Renschler CoMo range of instruments. CoMos make traditional instruments look and feel gross, which means that they have instantly taken on the usual Renschler cult status. We now have the CoMo Solar GPS, which is a totally unique concept. Even with the solar panel, this instrument is only about the same size as a normal instrument!

Here are a few flattering comments that have been made by some of our customers in recent months. It's good to have friends!

Miles Hockliffe: "Many many thanks for all your support, & such inspired directions, despite never having seen the glider. Certainly a lot of the improvement is down to your stunning support & knowledge".


Martin Bamford: "Just received my harness.. Everything arrived in excellent condition, the service was brilliant, and I'm sure I'll be in touch again real soon...."


Colin Graham: "Yesterday I flew with the speed arms that you so graciously gave me when I purchased the Malibu. Originally, I thought the idea of them was just another gimmick and they had stayed in my bag. However having used them with just a tee shirt under, I have to say that they are amazingly warm, even at cloud base, and so much more comfortable than a flying suit inside and outside the harness. Ideal for this time of year and if it gives me any less drag, so much the better. Thanks again"


Keith Worsdell (ex-Chairman of the mighty Dunstable Club):
"Just to let you know I have received the camera mount, really pleased with it.
talk about quick delivery almost the next day . Ive said it before and I will say it again this is a service second to none and long may you continue and prosper ."


Patrick Joyce (USA)
I wanted to say thanks, the Gliderider is truly awesome. Not only did it survive the 5500km journey from Nevada to Alaska, it proved itself as a dependable workhorse. Thanks!


Keith Owen:
It has been a real pleasure dealing with you. Very, very professional service from start to finish. When it's time for me to purchase again you will be the first port of call.

Rob Dowdell Chairman (and ex Secretary) of the RNHPC (for the last 15 years!)
"Firebird UK has supplied the Royal Navy HG & PG Club with a whole range of equipment over the 20 years of the Club's existence - varios, radios, tow releases, parachutes, harnesses and recently our 3 Litespeed-S and 2 Sonic hang gliders. They have also been our annual hang glider servicing agent for the last 2 years - we moved to FBUK after the demise of the Joint Services maintenance facility at Crickhowell. Simon and Martyn have provided us with a top notch facility since and as a result I am certain that our Club members are using equipment that is in perfect condition. There is no doubt that Firebird are streets ahead of the other suppliers that we have dealt with in the past in terms of quality of service - well done guys we intend using you for the next 20 years at least! Fly Navy."
