Based upon one of the most popular trainer aircraft ever developed for learning to fly radio managed (RC) aircrafts—the famous Sport Cub S —it's ultra-micro size makes it the perfect choice for a smaller sized trainer model that can be flown in large backyards, little parks, soccer fields, football fields and other ideal areas where larger designs can't usually be flown effectively by newbie pilots. Install the optional float set (EFLUA1190, sold individually) and you can add large swimming pools and little ponds to the list of places you can fly! Special SAFE® (Sensor Helped Flight Envelope) technology assists to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everyone can find out to fly effectively. Beginner, Intermediate and Skilled modes permit you to pick the level of stability and control you require, or are prepared to attempt, at the flip of a switch. Plus you can instantly return to steady flight using Panic Healing in any flight mode. This makes the Sport Cub S 2 a natural development of the trainer numerous pilots discovered to fly with because it includes all of the same great features, while also including new telemetry abilities that send flight battery voltage to the transmitter to make the pilot much better familiar with approximately how much "power" remains.
And the enjoyable does not stop after you find out how to fly! It's light-weight yet long lasting airframe is geared up with an effective electric motor that delivers long flight times and offers lots of speed and power to carry out aerobatic maneuvers consisting of loops, rolls and even inverted (upside down) flight. That indicates the Sport Cub S 2 is a model even experienced pilots will value and delight in flying – and can also use to teach others to fly. The Bind-N-Fly® Fundamental version is the ideal choice for those pilots because it permits them to use their favorite Spektrum™ transmitter together with batteries and chargers they might already own. And the Ready-To-Fly version is ideal for newbie pilots because it includes a Spektrum™ controller/transmitter geared up with industry-leading DSMX® 2.4GHz technology, AA batteries for the transmitter, plus a rechargeable LiPo flight battery and USB battery charger. That indicates there's nothing additional to buy or provide! Best of all both versions show up 100% factory-assembled and prepared to go right out of the box – no assembly required!

SAFE technology
 

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

Beginner Mode

In this flight mode, the aircraft has pitch (up/down) and bank (left/right) angle limits that prevent over-control which might result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are launched, the aircraft instantly goes back to level flight enabling you to unwind and delight in simply 'steering' the aircraft through the sky. Best of all, launches are as easy as giving complete throttle and letting the aircraft fly off a suitable surface, or by giving it a quick hand launch over surface areas such as grass, and landings are as simple as reducing the throttle and letting it slide to a landing on its own.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode permits more freedom in pitch and bank, but still avoids significant over-control and the aircraft does not return to level flight on its own. This permits you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend faster as your abilities advance.

Intermediate Mode
 

Skilled 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 carry out aerobatic maneuvers consisting of loops, rolls, stall turns and more.

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Healing

If you lose control of the aircraft in the Intermediate or Skilled flight modes, simply activate the Panic Healing mode with the push of a button and release the control sticks. SAFE technology will instantly 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.
