Staff Pick #5: Hobby Zone Sport Cub S
What can we say, we love this plane. Its easy enough for the beginner, but the 3 flight modes makes it fun enough to entice even the experienced pilots.
This airplane is equipped with SAFE technology that assists the pilot while flying, by limiting the bank and climb/descent angles, and auto-levels when you release the controls.
Basically, when you are out of control, let go of the sticks and it will recover and auto-level for you, then you simply grab the sticks again and fly like nothing ever happened.
It doesn't take much room to fly making a school yard or park a perfect airport.
