The addition of special Spektrum Smart elements including a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and battery charger make it more convenient to charge properly and safely (battery and battery charger sold separately for the BNF® Basic variation). And you have the alternative to quickly update to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology that offers features such as AutoLand and Virtual Fence, together with the alternative to set up the Landing Assist Sensing Unit (LAS) that instantly "flares" for smoother landings, to make discovering to fly—and to land safely—easier than ever!
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) variation includes everything required to fly in one box, and is the ideal option if you're a 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 learn to fly the Carbon Cub S 2, to the 3S 2200mAh Smart LiPo battery that delivers long flight times and the hassle-free S120 USB-C Smart battery charger that can be utilized with a variety of USB power sources, there's absolutely nothing additional you need to buy or offer! A BNF Basic variation is likewise available for skilled pilots who wish to use their favorite Spektrum transmitter together with batteries and chargers they may currently own. And for both variations, the powerful and effective brushless power system including a telemetry-capable ESC, plus the flight controller, receiver and servos, are all factory-installed in the durable EPO airframe that puts together rapidly and quickly without the need for glue or special tools.

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



Telemetry Capable
The Carbon Cub S 2 is geared up with an ESC that can offer a variety of real-time power system associated telemetry information including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more to compatible 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 innovative EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe that is difficult enough to manage everyday flying penalty without getting bent out of shape. And in the unfortunate occasion you damage any airframe parts or elements and can't fix them, a full line of replacement parts is readily available.
 



Easy Assembly
The Carbon Cub S 2 arrives 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 last assembly, without making use of glue or special tools, and you'll be prepared to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!
 







Versatile Gear Options
Thick grass, gravel paths, dirt trails; you can fly from these and many other surface areas that are impossible for the majority of models of this size to manage. The robust landing gear is geared up with oversized tires that soak up the bumps of rough surface areas and offer exceptional prop clearance. The optional float set (sold separately) takes just a few 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
Functional flaps are a choice for enhanced slow speed handling and even shorter departures and landings. This function needs a 7+ channel computer system transmitter plus a flap servo and a servo extension (sold separately).
 





 



Optional Landing Assist Sensing Unit for Smoother Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensing Unit (LAS) is simple to set up and supplies automatic "flare" control to help inexperienced pilots "grease" landings by lessening or completely getting rid of bouncing (works over many/most surface areas and supplies optimum efficiency when flying over/landing in grass).

 






 

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

Newbie 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 instantly returns to level flight on its own enabling you to unwind and enjoy just 'steering' the aircraft through the sky. This flight mode likewise makes it easier to take off and land.


 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode enables more flexibility in pitch and bank, but still avoids 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 much faster as your skills advance. Likewise, Newbie Mode instantly triggers and returns the aircraft to level flight when it comes down listed below around 30 feet above ground level and the control sticks are launched.


 

Experienced Mode

In Experienced Mode there are no pitch or bank angle limits so you have complete control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and carry out aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Recovery can be triggered by changing to Newbie Mode and launching the control sticks.


 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the aircraft in the Intermediate or Experienced flight modes, just change to Newbie Mode and launch the control sticks. SAFE technology will instantly return the aircraft to level flight.



 


 

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

AutoLand

Activated by just holding down a button, the innovative AutoLand function puts the aircraft on a supported method to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even offer some directional guidance to prevent obstacles or to change the method while letting the system do the rest to carry out a safe landing. As your skills development and you gain more self-confidence you can take over more of the control inputs, ultimately discovering to land with no assistance from the automated system at all.


 

Holding Pattern

This extremely helpful SAFE Plus-exclusive function basically enables you to "pause" the flight by putting the aircraft into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When triggered with the quick press of a button, the aircraft will instantly return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle till the command is cancelled with another quick press of the button. It's a fantastic way to safely hand the controls off to a buddy or to regain visual contact if you ever forget the design.


 

Virtual Fence

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