If you've never flown a radio controlled (RC) aircraft before, the Carbon Cub S 2 is the mostversatile, capable and easiest to fly scale RC airplane yet! Based on the Carbon Cub by CubCrafters, anupgraded and thoroughly modern iteration of the classic Super Cub, and equipped with Horizon Hobby'sexclusive and innovative SAFE technology, this scale replica makes it possible for almost anyone tolearn to fly successfully. The durable EPO airframe is equipped with an efficient brushless motor alongwith a telemetry-capable ESC plus a factory-installed flight controller, receiver and servos. Thetaildragger landing gear with oversized "tundra" style tires and a steerable tailwheel make itpossible to take off from and land on a wide variety of surfaces from pavement to grass and even gravel.Or optional floats (sold separately) can be installed for takeoffs from and landings on water. Best ofall, the option to add SAFE Plus® GPS-enabled technology and the Landing Assist Sensor(LAS) makes learning to fly even easier than ever before!
Welcome to the exciting world of RC (Radio Controlled) flight! If you've ever dreamed of taking to theskies, Horizon Hobby has you covered. We are committed to engineering aircraft that you can learn to flywith successfully even if you've never flown RC before. Every HobbyZone® aircraft weoffer features industry-leading design and technology developed by experts to keep you in control andlearning at your own pace so you can turn your dreams of flight into a reality!
The HobbyZone® Carbon Cub S 2 is the easiest to fly, most capable and versatile scaletrainer RC airplane yet! It's equipped with exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted FlightEnvelope) technology that helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearlyeveryone can learn to fly successfully. Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced modes allow you to choosethe level of stability and control you need, or are ready to try, at the flip of a switch. And you caninstantly return to steady flight using Panic Recovery with the push of a button in any flight mode.Oversized "tundra" tires make it possible to take off from and land on a variety of surfacesincluding thick grass, gravel paths, dirt trails and smooth pavement, or you can install the optionalfloats to fly from water—which adds to its unmatched versatility and capabilities.
The Carbon Cub S 2 is equipped with a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC that provides a variety of real-timepower system related telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more to compatibleSpektrum™ AirWare™ equipped transmitters, and even approximate flightbattery power remaining via multiple LEDs on the DXS transmitter included with the RTF Basic version.And you have the option to easily upgrade to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology that offers features suchas AutoLand and Virtual Fence, along with the option to install the Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) thatautomatically "flares" for smoother landings, to make learning to fly—and to landsafely—easier than ever!
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes everything needed to fly in one box except for a batteryand charger. This allows you to choose a convenient and money-saving Spektrum™Powerstage bundle or the separate battery and charger you prefer! Plus the included Spektrum DXS 2.4GHztransmitter can be used with other Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and BNF Basic aircraft after youlearn to fly successfully! A BNF Basic version is also available for experienced pilots who want to usetheir favorite Spektrum transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own. And for bothversions, the powerful and efficient brushless power system including a telemetry-capable ESC, flightcontroller, receiver and servos, are all factory-installed in the durable EPO airframe that assemblesquickly and easily without the need for glue or special tools.
And the fun doesn't stop after you learn how to fly! In the Experienced Mode, the Carbon Cub S 2 iscapable of performing aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, inverted (upside down) flight andmore. You can even use the same DXS transmitter that's included with the RTF Basic version, alongwith the same battery and charger you use for the Carbon Cub, to fly a variety of BNF Basic version"Next Step" aircraft including the E-flite® T-28 Trojan 1.1m, the Valiant 1.3mand others!
You can also purchase the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator and a Spektrum WS2000 WirelessSimulator Dongle (both sold separately) to fly this and other models using the transmitter included withthe RTF Basic version! The simulator features many of the most popular Horizon Hobby trainer aircraftand built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons. This helps new pilots learn to fly successfully bypracticing on a PC at home or on a laptop just about anywhere else!
The Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m is equipped with a telemetry-capable ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data to compatible transmitters. This includes approximate flight battery power remaining via multiple LEDs and audible alerts from the DXS transmitter included with the RTF Basic version. It will also provide motor RPM, current, overall battery voltage and more to Spektrum AirWare ™ equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, the NX6, 8 and 10, the iX12, iX20 and others) while you fly.
Construction with advanced EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe that's tough enough to handle everyday flying punishment without getting bent out of shape. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement parts is readily available.
The Carbon Cub S 2 arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, servos, flight controller and receiver installed. All you need to do is finish some quick and easy final assembly, without the use of glue or special tools, and you'll be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!
Thick grass, gravel paths, dirt trails; you can fly from these and many other surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size to handle. The robust landing gear is equipped with oversized tires that soak up the bumps of rough surfaces and provide excellent prop clearance. The optional float set (HBZ7390, sold separately) takes just a few minutes to install and all the necessary hardware is included with the aircraft and float set so you can fly from lakes and ponds.
Functional flaps are an option for improved slow speed handling and even shorter takeoffs and landings. This feature requires a 7+ channel computer transmitter plus a flap servo and a servo extension (sold separately).
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is easy to install and provides automatic "flare" control to help inexperienced pilots "grease" landings by minimizing or completely eliminating bouncing (works over many/most surfaces and provides optimum performance when flying over/landing in grass).
