SAFE technology
 

Find out to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC airplane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology prevents over-control and crashes. It likewise provides numerous flight modes to deliver more control and abilities as your skills progress at the flip of a switch:

Novice Mode

In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch (up/down) and bank (left/right) angle limits that avoid over-control which could lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are launched, the airplane immediately goes back to level flight allowing you to unwind and take pleasure in merely 'steering' the airplane through the sky. Most importantly, departures are as basic as giving complete throttle and letting the airplane fly off an appropriate surface area, or by giving it a quick hand launch over surfaces such as lawn, and landings are as simple as reducing the throttle and letting it glide to a landing on its own.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode allows more flexibility in pitch and bank, however still prevents significant over-control and the airplane does not go back to level flight on its own. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb up and descend faster as your skills advance.

Intermediate Mode
 

Knowledgeable Mode

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

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the airplane in the Intermediate or Knowledgeable flight modes, merely activate the Panic Recovery mode with the push of a button and release the control sticks. SAFE technology will immediately 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.
