SAFE technology
 

Learn to Fly Effectively with SAFE® Innovation
If this is your very first RC plane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensing Unit Assisted Flight Envelope) innovation avoids over-control and crashes. It likewise uses multiple 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 plane has pitch (up/down) and bank (left/right) angle restricts that prevent over-control which might result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the plane automatically returns to level flight permitting you to unwind and take pleasure in merely 'steering' the plane through the sky. Most importantly, takeoffs are as easy as providing full throttle and letting the plane fly off an appropriate surface area, or by providing it a fast hand launch over surfaces such as turf, and landings are as simple as decreasing the throttle and letting it glide to a landing by itself.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode allows more freedom in pitch and bank, however still avoids significant over-control and the plane does not go back to level flight by itself. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend quicker as your skills 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 perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, stall turns and more.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Healing

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