Sport Cub S 2





Introduction
The HobbyZone® Sport Cub S 2 is based upon one of the all-time most popular trainer aircraft ever created for finding out to fly radio managed (RC) airplanes—the legendary Sport Cub S. It's ultra-micro size makes it the ideal choice for a smaller sized trainer model that can be flown in yards, parks, soccer fields, football fields and other ideal spaces where larger models can't generally be flown successfully by novice pilots. Unique SAFE® (Sensor Helped Flight Envelope) innovation helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. Newbie, Intermediate and Knowledgeable modes allow you to select the level of stability and control you require, or are all set to attempt, at the flip of a switch.

The HobbyZone® Sport Cub S 2 makes finding out to fly RC airplanes in more locations and smaller sized spaces easier than ever! Based on one of the most popular trainer aircraft ever created for finding out to fly radio managed (RC) airplanes—the legendary Sport Cub S —it's ultra-micro size makes it the ideal choice for a smaller sized trainer model that can be flown in big yards, little parks, soccer fields, football fields and other ideal spaces where larger models can't generally be flown successfully by novice pilots. Set up the optional float set (EFLUA1190, offered individually) and you can include big swimming pools and little ponds to the list of locations you can fly! Unique SAFE® (Sensor Helped Flight Envelope) innovation helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. Newbie, Intermediate and Knowledgeable modes allow you to select the level of stability and control you require, or are all set to attempt, at the flip of a switch. Plus you can immediately go back to stable flight utilizing Panic Recovery in any flight mode. This makes the Sport Cub S 2 a natural advancement of the trainer lots of pilots found out to fly with since it includes all of the same great features, while also including new telemetry abilities that send out flight battery voltage to the transmitter to make the pilot better familiar with roughly how much "power" remains.
And the fun does not stop after you learn how to fly! It's light-weight yet long lasting airframe is equipped with a powerful electrical motor that delivers long flight times and supplies plenty of speed and power to carry out aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls and even inverted (upside down) flight. That indicates the Sport Cub S 2 is a model even experienced pilots will value and enjoy flying – and can also utilize to teach others to fly. The Bind-N-Fly® Standard variation is the perfect choice for those pilots since it allows them to utilize their preferred Spektrum™ transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own. And the Ready-To-Fly variation is perfect for novice pilots since it includes a Spektrum™ controller/transmitter equipped with industry-leading DSMX® 2.4GHz innovation, AA batteries for the transmitter, plus a rechargeable LiPo flight battery and USB charger. That indicates there's absolutely nothing extra to buy or offer! Most importantly both variations get here 100% factory-assembled and all set to go right out of package – no assembly required!

SAFE technology
 

Find out to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC plane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Helped Flight Envelope) innovation avoids over-control and crashes. It also offers several flight modes to provide more control and abilities as your abilities advance at the flip of a switch:

Newbie Mode

In this flight mode, the plane 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 released, the plane automatically returns to level flight allowing you to unwind and enjoy just 'guiding' the plane through the sky. Most importantly, takeoffs are as easy as providing full throttle and letting the plane fly off an appropriate surface, or by providing it a fast hand launch over surface areas such as turf, and landings are as easy as decreasing the throttle and letting it move to a landing on its own.

Beginner Mode
 

Intermediate Mode

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

Intermediate Mode
 

Knowledgeable Mode

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

Experienced Mode
 

 

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the plane in the Intermediate or Knowledgeable flight modes, just trigger the Panic Recovery 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.
