The HobbyZone® Sport Cub S 2 makes finding out to fly RC planes in more places and smaller spaces simpler than ever! Based upon one of the most popular trainer aircraft ever created for finding out to fly radio managed (RC) planes—the legendary Sport Cub S —it's ultra-micro size makes it the perfect option for a smaller sized trainer model that can be flown in big yards, small parks, soccer fields, football fields and other suitable spaces where bigger designs can't typically be flown successfully by newbie pilots.

This makes the Sport Cub S 2 a natural development of the trainer lots of pilots learned to fly with since it consists of all of the exact same fantastic functions, while also adding new telemetry capabilities that send flight battery voltage to the transmitter to make the pilot better aware of roughly just how much "power" remains.
And the enjoyable does not stop after you discover how to fly! It's light-weight yet resilient airframe is equipped with an effective electrical motor that delivers long flight times and supplies lots of speed and power to perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls and even inverted (upside down) flight. That indicates the Sport Cub S 2 is a design even experienced pilots will value and enjoy flying – and can also use to teach others to fly. The Bind-N-Fly® Standard variation is the ideal option for those pilots since it enables them to use their preferred Spektrum™ transmitter in addition to batteries and battery chargers they may currently own. And the Ready-To-Fly variation is ideal for newbie pilots since 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 battery charger.

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 several flight modes to provide more control and capabilities as your skills advance at the flip of a switch:

Novice Mode

In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch (up/down) and bank (left/right) angle restricts 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 unwind and enjoy just 'guiding' the airplane through the sky. Most importantly, departures are as basic as offering complete throttle and letting the airplane fly off a suitable surface, or by offering it a quick hand launch over surfaces such as yard, 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 enables more flexibility in pitch and bank, but still avoids significant 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 come down quicker as your skills 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, just trigger the Panic Recovery mode with the push of a button and release 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.
