SAFE technology
 

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

Beginner Mode

In this flight mode, the plane has pitch (up/down) and bank (left/right) angle limits that prevent over-control which might cause a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the plane instantly returns to level flight allowing you to relax and take pleasure in just 'guiding' the plane through the sky. Most importantly, launches are as easy as giving full throttle and letting the plane fly off an ideal surface, or by giving it a quick hand launch over surface areas such as grass, and landings are as easy as reducing the throttle and letting it move to a landing on its own.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode permits more flexibility in pitch and bank, however still avoids significant over-control and the plane does not go back to level flight on its own. This permits you to make tighter turns and to climb up and come down faster as your abilities advance.

Intermediate Mode
 

Skilled Mode

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

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the plane in the Intermediate or Skilled flight modes, just trigger the Panic Recovery mode with the push of a button and launch the control sticks. SAFE technology will instantly 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.
