The Carbon Cub S 2 is equipped with a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC that offers a range of real-time power system associated telemetry data consisting of motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more to suitable Spektrum™ AirWare™ equipped transmitters, and even approximate flight battery power remaining through numerous LEDs on the DXS transmitter included with the RTF version. The addition of special Spektrum Smart parts consisting of a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and charger make it easier to charge correctly and securely (battery and charger offered separately for the BNF® Basic version). And you have the alternative to quickly upgrade to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology that uses functions such as AutoLand and Virtual Fence, along with the alternative to install the Landing Assist Sensing Unit (LAS) that immediately "flares" for smoother landings, to make finding out to fly—and to land securely—easier than ever!
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version consists of whatever required to fly in one box, and is the perfect choice if you're a brand-new RC pilot. From the Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter you can use with other Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and BNF Basic aircraft after you find out to fly the Carbon Cub S 2, to the THREE 2200mAh Smart LiPo battery that provides long flight times and the hassle-free S120 USB-C Smart charger that can be utilized with a range of USB source of power, there's nothing additional you require to purchase or provide!

They come out of package with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver set up so all you require to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, complete any last assembly, and fly!
 

Telemetry Capable

Telemetry Capable
The Carbon Cub S 2 is equipped with an ESC that can provide a range of real-time power system associated telemetry data consisting of motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more to suitable Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (consisting of the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, iX12, iX20 and others) while you fly.
 





Long Lasting Design

Versatile Equipment Options

Versatile Equipment Options
Thick yard, gravel courses, dirt tracks; you can fly from these and lots of other surface areas that are impossible for the majority of models of this size to handle. The robust landing equipment is equipped with large tires that absorb the bumps of rough surface areas and provide excellent prop clearance. The optional float set (offered separately) takes simply 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.
 

Optional Flaps

Optional Flaps
Practical flaps are an option for enhanced sluggish speed handling and even much shorter departures and landings. This feature requires a 7+ channel computer transmitter plus a flap servo and a servo extension (offered separately).
 





 

Optional Landing Assist Sensing Unit for Easier Landings

Optional Landing Assist Sensing Unit for Easier Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensing Unit (LAS) is easy to install and offers automated "flare" control to help unskilled pilots "grease" landings by lessening or totally getting rid of bouncing (works over many/most surface areas and offers optimal performance when flying over/landing in yard).

 





SAFE technology
 

Discover to Fly Effectively with SAFE® Technology
If this is your very first RC airplane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensing Unit Assisted Flight Envelope) technology avoids over-control and crashing while also offering numerous flight modes to provide more control and capabilities as your skills progress:

Novice Mode

In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch and bank angle limitations to prevent over-control that can lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are launched, the airplane immediately goes back to level flight on its own allowing you to relax and delight in simply 'guiding' the airplane through the sky. This flight mode also makes it easier to remove and land.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode enables more freedom in pitch and bank, however still avoids considerable over-control and the airplane does not return to level flight on its own. This enables you to make tighter turns and to climb up and come down faster as your skills advance. Likewise, Novice Mode immediately triggers and returns the airplane to level flight when it descends listed below approximately 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 limitations so you have complete control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers consisting of loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Recovery can be triggered by changing to Novice Mode and releasing the control sticks.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the airplane in the Intermediate or Knowledgeable flight modes, simply switch to Novice Mode and launch the control sticks. SAFE technology will immediately return the airplane to level flight.

Panic Recovery

 

SAFE technology
 

Quickly Upgrade to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Technology
With quick and easy setup of the optional Spektrum GPS Module you can include next-level autonomous guidance functions that make it even easier to find out to fly. With SAFE Plus added you get:

AutoLand

Activated by simply holding down a button, the sophisticated AutoLand function puts the airplane on a stabilized approach to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even provide some directional guidance to avoid challenges or to change the approach while letting the system do the rest to perform a safe landing. As your skills progress and you get more confidence you can take over more of the control inputs, eventually finding out to land with no assistance from the automatic system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This very helpful SAFE Plus-exclusive feature basically enables you to "stop briefly" the flight by putting the airplane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When triggered with the quick press of a button, the airplane will immediately return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle up until the command is cancelled with another quick press of the button. It's a terrific way to securely hand the controls off to a good friend or to regain visual contact if you ever lose sight of the design.

Holding Pattern
 

Virtual Fence

It's easy to mistakenly let an RC airplane fly too far, however with Virtual Fence, stress no more. It develops an unnoticeable boundary the airplane won't fly past. When the airplane reaches this boundary, it will immediately reverse and fly back toward the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you understand when you have control again.
