Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Currently own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make entering the air quickly and with the very best control experience possible much easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, complete any final assembly, and fly!
 



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







Durable Design
Building with sophisticated EPO material provides a light-weight yet long lasting airframe that is difficult enough to deal with everyday flying penalty without getting bent out of shape. And in the unfortunate occasion you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a complete line of replacement parts is easily available.
 



Easy Assembly
The Carbon Cub S 2 gets here mostly factory-assembled with the power system, servos plus the flight controller and receiver installed. All you need to do is complete some quick and simple final assembly, without the use of glue or special tools, and you'll be ready to fly in less time than it requires to charge a battery!
 







Versatile Equipment Options
Thick turf, gravel courses, dirt routes; you can fly from these and lots of other surfaces that are difficult for the majority of designs of this size to deal with. The robust landing gear is equipped with oversized tires that absorb the bumps of rough surfaces and offer excellent prop clearance. The optional float set (sold separately) takes just a few minutes to set up and all the required hardware is included with the aircraft and float set so you can fly from lakes and ponds.
 



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





 



Optional Landing Assist Sensing Unit for Easier Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensing Unit (LAS) is simple to set up and provides automated "flare" control to help inexperienced pilots "grease" landings by lessening or entirely getting rid of bouncing (works over many/most surfaces and provides optimum efficiency when flying over/landing in turf).

 






 

Discover to Fly Effectively with SAFE® Technology
If this is your very first RC aircraft, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensing Unit Helped Flight Envelope) innovation prevents over-control and crashing while also offering multiple flight modes to deliver more control and abilities as your abilities development:

Newbie Mode

In this flight mode, the aircraft has pitch and bank angle limitations to prevent over-control that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the aircraft immediately returns to level flight on its own enabling you to relax and delight in just 'steering' the aircraft through the sky. This flight mode also makes it much easier to remove and land.


 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode enables more freedom in pitch and bank, however 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 up and come down faster as your abilities advance. Also, Newbie Mode immediately triggers and returns the aircraft to level flight when it comes down listed below roughly 30 feet above ground level and the control sticks are released.


 

Skilled Mode

In Skilled 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 including loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Recovery can be activated by changing to Newbie Mode and launching the control sticks.


 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the aircraft in the Intermediate or Skilled flight modes, simply switch to Newbie Mode and launch the control sticks. SAFE innovation will immediately return the aircraft to level flight.



 


 

Quickly Update to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Technology
With quick and simple installation of the optional Spektrum GPS Module you can include next-level autonomous guidance features that make it even much easier to discover to fly. With SAFE Plus added you get:

AutoLand

Triggered by simply holding down a button, the sophisticated AutoLand function puts the aircraft on a stabilized method to land on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even offer some directional guidance to avoid challenges or to change the method while letting the system do the rest to carry out a safe landing. As your abilities development and you acquire more confidence you can take control of more of the control inputs, ultimately discovering to land with no help from the automated system at all.


 

Holding Pattern

This extremely helpful SAFE Plus-exclusive feature basically enables you to "pause" the flight by putting the aircraft into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When activated with the quick 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 quick press of the button. It's a terrific method to securely hand the controls off to a friend or to gain back visual contact if you ever forget the model.


 

Virtual Fence

It's simple to unintentionally let an RC aircraft fly too far, however with Virtual Fence, stress no more. It produces an undetectable limit the aircraft won't fly past. When the aircraft reaches this limit, it will immediately reverse and fly back toward the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you know when you have control once again.
