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 suitable transmitter, complete any final 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 related telemetry information 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.
 





Resilient Design

Durable Design

Versatile Equipment Options

Versatile Equipment Options
Thick yard, gravel paths, dirt trails; you can fly from these and many other surface areas that are difficult for most designs of this size to manage. The robust landing gear is equipped with extra-large tires that take in the bumps of rough surface areas and provide exceptional prop clearance. The optional float set (offered individually) takes just a couple of minutes to set up and all the essential hardware is included with the airplane and float set so you can fly from lakes and ponds.
 

Optional Flaps

Optional Flaps
Practical flaps are an alternative 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 individually).
 





 

Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Easier Landings

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

 





SAFE technology
 

Learn to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your very first RC airplane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) innovation prevents over-control and crashing while also using numerous flight modes to provide more control and capabilities as your abilities development:

Beginner Mode

In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch and bank angle limits to avoid over-control that can lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are launched, the airplane instantly goes back to level flight by itself allowing you to unwind and delight in just 'steering' the airplane through the sky. This flight mode also makes it easier to remove and land.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode allows more flexibility in pitch and bank, but still prevents considerable over-control and the airplane does not return to level flight by itself. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb up and descend faster as your abilities advance. Likewise, Beginner Mode instantly activates 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
 

Skilled Mode

In Skilled 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 consisting of loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Recovery can be activated by switching to Beginner Mode and releasing the control sticks.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the airplane in the Intermediate or Skilled flight modes, just change to Beginner Mode and launch the control sticks. SAFE innovation will instantly return the airplane to level flight.

Panic Recovery

 

SAFE innovation
 

Easily 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 functions that make it even easier to discover to fly. With SAFE Plus added you get:

AutoLand

Triggered by just holding down a button, the innovative AutoLand function puts the airplane on a stabilized technique to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even provide some directional guidance to avoid challenges or to adjust the technique 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 finding out to land without any support from the automatic system at all.

AutoLand
 

Holding Pattern

This really practical SAFE Plus-exclusive feature essentially allows you to "pause" the flight by putting the airplane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When activated with the quick press of a button, the airplane will instantly 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 great method to safely 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 simple to inadvertently let an RC airplane fly too far, but with Virtual Fence, worry no more. It develops an invisible boundary the airplane will not fly past. When the airplane reaches this boundary, it will instantly reverse and fly back towards the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you know when you have control once again.
