Sport Cub S 2





Introduction
The HobbyZone® Sport Cub S 2 is based on among the all-time most popular fitness instructor aircraft ever developed for learning to fly radio controlled (RC) airplanes—the legendary Sport Cub S. It's ultra-micro size makes it the perfect choice for a smaller sized fitness instructor model that can be flown in yards, parks, soccer fields, football fields and other appropriate spaces where bigger designs can't typically be flown effectively by newbie pilots. Special SAFE® (Sensing Unit Helped Flight Envelope) technology helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everybody can find out to fly effectively. Newbie, Intermediate and Experienced modes enable you to choose the level of stability and control you require, or are all set to attempt, at the flip of a switch.

The HobbyZone® Sport Cub S 2 makes learning to fly RC airplanes in more locations and smaller spaces easier than ever! Based upon among the most popular fitness instructor aircraft ever developed for learning to fly radio controlled (RC) airplanes—the legendary Sport Cub S —it's ultra-micro size makes it the perfect choice for a smaller sized fitness instructor model that can be flown in big yards, little parks, soccer fields, football fields and other appropriate spaces where bigger designs can't typically be flown effectively by newbie pilots. Install the optional float set (EFLUA1190, offered individually) and you can include big swimming pools and little ponds to the list of locations you can fly! Special SAFE® (Sensing Unit Helped Flight Envelope) technology helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everybody can find out to fly effectively. Newbie, Intermediate and Experienced modes enable you to choose the level of stability and control you require, or are all set to attempt, at the flip of a switch. Plus you can immediately go back to steady flight using Panic Recovery in any flight mode. This makes the Sport Cub S 2 a natural advancement of the fitness instructor lots of pilots discovered to fly with due to the fact that it consists of all of the exact same terrific functions, while also adding new telemetry capabilities that send out flight battery voltage to the transmitter to make the pilot better familiar with around just how much "power" remains.
And the fun does not stop after you find out how to fly! It's light-weight yet durable airframe is equipped with a powerful electric motor that provides long flight times and supplies plenty of speed and power to perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls and even inverted (upside down) flight. That implies the Sport Cub S 2 is a design even experienced pilots will value and take pleasure in flying – and can also use to teach others to fly. The Bind-N-Fly® Fundamental variation is the ideal choice for those pilots due to the fact that it enables them to use their preferred Spektrum™ transmitter together with batteries and battery chargers they might already own. And the Ready-To-Fly variation is ideal for newbie pilots due to the fact that it consists of a Spektrum™ controller/transmitter equipped with industry-leading DSMX® 2.4GHz technology, AA batteries for the transmitter, plus a rechargeable LiPo flight battery and USB charger. That implies there's nothing additional to buy or supply! Most importantly both variations arrive 100% factory-assembled and all set to go right out of package – no assembly required!

SAFE technology
 

Find out to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Innovation
If this is your first RC airplane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensing Unit Helped Flight Envelope) technology avoids over-control and crashes. It also offers numerous flight modes to deliver more control and capabilities as your abilities progress at the flip of a switch:

Newbie Mode

In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch (up/down) and bank (left/right) angle limits that prevent over-control which could lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are launched, the airplane automatically goes back to level flight enabling you to relax and take pleasure in simply 'guiding' the airplane through the sky. Most importantly, departures are as basic as providing complete throttle and letting the airplane fly off an appropriate surface, or by providing it a quick hand launch over surface areas such as grass, and landings are as easy as reducing the throttle and letting it slide to a landing on its own.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode enables more liberty in pitch and bank, however still avoids considerable over-control and the airplane does not go back to level flight on its own. This enables you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend much faster as your abilities advance.

Intermediate Mode
 

Experienced Mode

In this flight mode there are no pitch or bank angle limits so you have complete control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, stall turns and more.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the airplane in the Intermediate or Experienced flight modes, simply trigger the Panic Recovery mode with the push of a button and launch the control sticks. SAFE technology will automatically return the airplane to level flight.

Rated 5 stars Great beginner to intermediate small plane
By David H on January 4, 2021

Binded fine with my Spektrum. I think it is the customers responsibility to determine if what they are buying is compatible with their transmitter. Anyway, it flies awesome, so easy and intuitive. Flies slowly very well and is a great plane for beginners. My Dad is 75, had never flown RC and was having a blast with this after a couple of hours of crashes on grass that didn't harm the plane.

Rated 5 stars Great beginner plane. Don't need to worry if you crash too much.
By Easton S on March 20, 2021   Verified Purchase

Don't be stupid like me and keep your eyes on your plane at all times while flying. I did a nose dive and broke a prop and the gearbox, but that's no issue with the plane, in fact, it took the hit like a chap and the entire chassis is fine otherwise. SAFE works incredibly well and it's great for a new pilot. Highly recommend

Rated 2 stars Does not bind to DSM2
By Tedd H on September 28, 2020   Verified Purchase

The Sport Cub seems like a great plane but would not bind to my Orangerx T-SIX DSM2 transmitter. Vortex hobbies was extremely helpful and traded it for a PT-17 that binded as advertised.
