Extra-large tires make it possible to take off and arrive at a variety of surfaces consisting of thick turf, gravel paths, dirt routes and smooth pavement, or you can install the optional floats to fly from water—which adds to its unequaled versatility and capabilities.
The Carbon Cub S 2 is equipped with a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC that offers a variety of real-time power system associated telemetry data consisting of motor RPM, present, battery voltage and more to suitable Spektrum™ AirWare™ equipped transmitters, and even approximate flight battery power remaining by means of several 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 effectively and safely (battery and charger offered independently for the BNF® Basic version). And you have the choice to quickly update to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology that provides features such as AutoLand and Virtual Fence, together with the choice to install the Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) that automatically "flares" for smoother landings, to make discovering to fly—and to land safely—much easier than ever!
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes whatever needed to fly in one box, and is the perfect option if you're a new RC pilot. From the Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter you can utilize with other Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and BNF Basic airplane after you find out to fly the Carbon Cub S 2, to the 3S 2200mAh Smart LiPo battery that provides long flight times and the practical S120 USB-C Smart charger that can be used with a variety of USB power sources, there's nothing additional you need to purchase or provide! A BNF Basic version is also readily available for knowledgeable pilots who wish to utilize their preferred Spektrum transmitter together with batteries and battery chargers they might already own. And for both variations, the powerful and efficient brushless power system consisting of a telemetry-capable ESC, plus the flight controller, receiver and servos, are all factory-installed in the long lasting EPO airframe that assembles rapidly and quickly without the need for glue or special tools.

Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Currently own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplane make getting into the air rapidly and with the best control experience possible much easier than ever. They come out of package with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver set up so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, end up any last assembly, and fly!
 



Telemetry Capable
The Carbon Cub S 2 is equipped with an ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system associated telemetry data consisting of motor RPM, present, 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.
 







Durable Design
Building with advanced EPO product provides a lightweight yet long lasting airframe that's tough enough to deal with everyday flying penalty without getting bent out of shape. And in the regrettable occasion you damage any airframe parts or parts and can't fix them, a complete line of replacement parts is easily offered.
 



Easy Assembly
The Carbon Cub S 2 arrives mainly factory-assembled with the power system, servos plus the flight controller and receiver set up. All you need to do is end up some quick and easy last assembly, without the use of glue or special tools, and you'll be all set to fly in less time than it requires to charge a battery!
 







Versatile Gear Options
Thick turf, gravel paths, dirt routes; you can fly from these and many other surfaces that are impossible for the majority of designs of this size to deal with. The robust landing gear is equipped with extra-large tires that soak up the bumps of rough surfaces and provide outstanding prop clearance. The optional float set (offered independently) takes simply a few minutes to install and all the required hardware is included with the airplane and float set so you can fly from lakes and ponds.
 



Optional Flaps
Practical flaps are a choice for improved slow speed handling and even shorter takeoffs and landings. This function requires a 7+ channel computer transmitter plus a flap servo and a servo extension (offered independently).
 





 



Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Easier Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is easy to install and offers automatic "flare" control to assist inexperienced pilots "grease" landings by lessening or entirely getting rid of bouncing (works over many/most surfaces and offers maximum performance when flying over/landing in turf).

 






 

Discover to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC plane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology prevents over-control and crashing while also using several flight modes to provide more control and capabilities as your skills progress:

Newbie Mode

In this flight mode, the plane 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 released, the plane automatically goes back to level flight by itself enabling you to unwind and delight in simply 'steering' the plane through the sky. This flight mode also makes it much easier to take off and land.


 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode permits more freedom in pitch and bank, but still prevents substantial over-control and the plane does not go back to level flight by itself. This permits you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend faster as your skills advance. Also, Newbie Mode automatically triggers and returns the plane to level flight when it comes down listed below around 30 feet above ground level and the control sticks are released.


 

Skilled Mode

In Skilled 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 Recovery can be triggered by changing to Newbie Mode and launching the control sticks.


 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the plane in the Intermediate or Skilled flight modes, merely change to Newbie Mode and release the control sticks. SAFE technology will automatically return the plane to level flight.



 


 

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

AutoLand

Triggered by merely holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the plane on a stabilized approach to arrive at its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even provide some directional guidance to prevent barriers or to adjust the approach while letting the system do the rest to execute a safe landing. As your skills progress and you get more confidence you can take over more of the control inputs, eventually discovering to land with no support from the automated system at all.


 

Holding Pattern

This very valuable SAFE Plus-exclusive function basically permits you to "pause" the flight by putting the plane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When triggered with the quick press of a button, the plane will automatically go back 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 safely hand the controls off to a buddy or to restore visual contact if you ever forget the design.


 

Virtual Fence

It's easy to accidentally let an RC plane fly too far, but with Virtual Fence, worry no more. It develops an undetectable limit the plane won't fly past. When the plane reaches this limit, it will automatically turn around and fly back toward the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you know when you have control again.
