The HobbyZone® Carbon Cub S 2 is the easiest to fly, most capable and flexible scale trainer RC aircraft yet! It's geared up with exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology that assists to avoid overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. Novice, Intermediate and Knowledgeable modes allow you to pick the level of stability and control you require, or are all set to try, at the flip of a switch. And you can immediately return to consistent flight using Panic Healing with the push of a button in any flight mode. Oversized tires make it possible to remove and land on a variety of surface areas consisting of thick grass, gravel paths, dirt tracks and smooth pavement, or you can set up the optional drifts to fly from water—which contributes to its unrivaled adaptability and capabilities.
The Carbon Cub S 2 is geared up with a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC that supplies a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data consisting of motor RPM, present, battery voltage and more to compatible Spektrum™ AirWare™ equipped transmitters, and even approximate flight battery power staying via multiple LEDs on the DXS transmitter included with the RTF variation. The addition of exclusive Spektrum Smart parts consisting of a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and charger make it more convenient to charge correctly and safely (battery and charger sold separately for the BNF® Fundamental variation). And you have the alternative to quickly update to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology that offers features such as AutoLand and Virtual Fence, along with the alternative to set up the Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) that immediately "flares" for smoother landings, to make finding out to fly—and to land safely—simpler than ever!
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) variation includes everything required to fly in one box, and is the best choice if you're a brand-new RC pilot. From the Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter you can utilize with other Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and BNF Fundamental aircraft after you learn to fly the Carbon Cub S 2, to the THREE 2200mAh Smart LiPo battery that delivers long flight times and the practical S120 USB-C Smart charger that can be utilized with a variety of USB source of power, there's nothing additional you require to buy or supply! A BNF Fundamental variation is also offered for skilled pilots who want to utilize their favorite Spektrum transmitter along with batteries and chargers they might currently own.

Versatile Gear Options

Versatile Gear Options
Thick grass, gravel paths, dirt tracks; you can fly from these and numerous other surface areas that are difficult for most designs of this size to handle. The robust landing gear is geared up with oversized tires that soak up the bumps of rough surface areas and supply exceptional prop clearance. The optional float set (sold separately) takes simply a couple of minutes to set up and all the needed hardware is included with the aircraft and float set so you can fly from lakes and ponds.
 

Optional Flaps

Optional Flaps
Practical flaps are a choice for enhanced slow speed handling and even much shorter departures and landings. This feature needs a 7+ channel computer system transmitter plus a flap servo and a servo extension (sold separately).
 





 

Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Smoother Landings

Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Smoother Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is easy to set up and supplies automated "flare" control to help unskilled pilots "grease" landings by lessening or completely removing bouncing (works over many/most surface areas and supplies optimal efficiency when flying over/landing in grass).

 





SAFE technology
 

Find Out to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your very first RC aircraft, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology prevents over-control and crashing while also using multiple flight modes to deliver more control and abilities as your abilities progress:

Novice Mode

In this flight mode, the aircraft has pitch and bank angle limits to avoid over-control that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are launched, the aircraft immediately returns to level flight on its own enabling you to unwind and enjoy simply 'guiding' the aircraft through the sky. This flight mode also makes it simpler to remove and land.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode enables more liberty in pitch and bank, but still prevents considerable over-control and the aircraft does not return to level flight on its own. This enables you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend quicker as your abilities advance. Also, Novice Mode immediately activates and returns the aircraft to level flight when it descends below roughly 30 feet above ground level and the control sticks are launched.

Intermediate Mode
 

Knowledgeable Mode

In Knowledgeable Mode there are no pitch or bank angle limits so you have total control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and carry out aerobatic maneuvers consisting of loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Healing can be activated by changing to Novice Mode and launching the control sticks.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Healing

If you lose control of the aircraft in the Intermediate or Knowledgeable flight modes, just change to Novice Mode and release the control sticks. SAFE technology will immediately return the aircraft to level flight.

Panic Recovery

 

SAFE technology
 

Quickly Upgrade to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Technology
With fast and easy setup of the optional Spektrum GPS Module you can include next-level autonomous guidance features that make it even simpler to learn to fly. With SAFE Plus added you get:

AutoLand

Triggered by just holding down a button, the sophisticated AutoLand function puts the aircraft on a stabilized approach to land on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even supply some directional guidance to avoid challenges or to change the approach while letting the system do the rest to execute a safe landing. As your abilities progress and you get more confidence you can take over more of the control inputs, ultimately finding out to land without any help from the automatic system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This extremely useful SAFE Plus-exclusive feature essentially enables you to "pause" the flight by putting the aircraft into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When activated with the fast press of a button, the aircraft will immediately return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle until the command is cancelled with another fast press of the button. It's an excellent way to safely hand the controls off to a pal or to regain visual contact if you ever forget the design.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's easy to accidentally let an RC aircraft fly too far, but with Virtual Fence, stress no more. It develops an undetectable boundary the aircraft won't fly past. When the aircraft reaches this boundary, it will immediately turn around and fly back towards the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you understand when you have control once again.
