Sport Cub S 2





Introduction
The HobbyZone® Sport Cub S 2 is based on one of the all-time most popular trainer aircraft ever designed for learning to fly radio controlled (RC) planes—the legendary Sport Cub S. It's ultra-micro size makes it the ideal option for a smaller trainer model that can be flown in lawns, parks, soccer fields, football fields and other appropriate areas where bigger designs can't usually be flown effectively by newbie pilots. Unique SAFE® (Sensing Unit Helped Flight Envelope) innovation helps to avoid overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everybody can learn to fly effectively. Newbie, Intermediate and Knowledgeable modes permit you to pick the level of stability and control you require, or are ready to try, at the flip of a switch.

SAFE technology
 

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

Newbie Mode

In this flight mode, the aircraft 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 released, the aircraft automatically returns to level flight allowing you to relax and delight in merely 'steering' the aircraft through the sky. Best of all, departures are as simple as providing complete throttle and letting the aircraft fly off an appropriate surface, or by providing it a quick hand launch over surface areas such as lawn, and landings are as easy as lowering the throttle and letting it slide to a landing by itself.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode allows more liberty in pitch and bank, but still avoids significant over-control and the aircraft does not go back to level flight by itself. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb and come down quicker as your abilities advance.

Intermediate Mode
 

Knowledgeable Mode

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

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Healing

If you lose control of the aircraft in the Intermediate or Knowledgeable flight modes, merely activate the Panic Healing mode with the push of a button and launch the control sticks. SAFE innovation will automatically return the aircraft 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.
