Even if you have never flown a remote controlled aircraft before, the Carbon Cub S 2 is the most versatile, durable and easiest to fly Scale-RC aircraft! Based on the Carbon Cub from CubCrafters, an improved and highly modernized version of the classic Super Cub, and equipped with the exclusive and innovative SAFE technology from Horizon Hobby, this scale model enables almost anyone to learn to fly successfully. It also includes telemetry-enabled smart components such as a controller, battery and charger (battery and charger are sold separately for the BNF® Basic version), as well as the option of using GPS-enabled SAFE Plus® technology and the Landing Support Sensor ( LAS) to make learning to fly even easier!
Welcome to the exciting world of model flying (RC; Radio Controlled)! If you've ever dreamed of flying, Horizon Hobby is the place for you. We strive to develop aircraft that will help you learn to fly successfully, even if you have never flown a model aircraft before. Every HobbyZone® aircraft we offer features industry-leading design and technology developed by experts to help you stay in control and learn at your own pace so you can make your dreams of flying a reality!
The HobbyZone® Carbon Cub S 2 is the easiest to fly, most durable and versatile Scale-RC aircraft ever! It is equipped with the exclusive SAFE® technology (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope), which prevents oversteering, loss of orientation and crashes, so that almost everyone can learn to fly successfully. With Beginner, Advanced and Expert modes, you can select the stability and control you need or want to try with the touch of a button. The panic button allows you to instantly return to a neutral flight attitude at the touch of a button in any flight mode. Oversized tires allow you to take off and land on a variety of surfaces, including thick grass, gravel roads, dirt tracks and smooth asphalt, or you can install the optional floats to fly from water - which also contributes to the model's unsurpassed versatility.
The Carbon Cub S 2 is equipped with a telemetry-capable 30 amp controller that provides a variety of real-time telemetry data from the propulsion system, including engine speed, current, battery voltage and more for compatible transmitters with Spektrum ™ AirWare ™. Even the DXS transmitter included in the RTF version can display the approximate remaining flight battery power via the multicolor LEDs. Using exclusive Spektrum smart components, including a LiPo battery and charger, makes proper and safe charging easy (battery and charger are sold separately for the BNF® Basic version). You also have the option of simply upgrading your model to GPS-assisted SAFE Plus technology to take advantage of AutoLand and Virtual Fence features, and installing the Landing Support Sensor (LAS), which automatically "floats" for softer landings to make learning to fly easier - and to land safely - easier than ever before!
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version contains everything you need to fly in one box, and is the perfect choice if you are a model flying novice. Starting with the Spektrum DXS 2.4 GHz transmitter, which allows you to fly other Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and BNF Basic gliders after you master the Carbon Cub S 2, to the 3S 2200mAh Smart LiPo battery, which delivers long flight times. The RTF version also includes a convenient S120 USB-C Smart charger that can be used with a variety of USB power sources. You do not need to buy or provide anything extra! A BNF Basic version is also available for experienced pilots who want to use their preferred spectrum transmitter together with their possibly existing battery and charger. In both versions, the powerful and efficient brushless drive system with a telemetry-enabled controller as well as the flight controller, receiver and servos are factory installed in the durable EPO airframe, which can be quickly and easily mounted without the need for glue or special Tools.
Bind-N-Fly prefabrication level
Do you already own a spectrum transmitter? Bind-N-Fly aircraft make it possible to get to the best possible flying experience faster than ever before. They come out of the box with the drive system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4 GHz receiver already installed. All you have to do is tie the receiver to a Spektrum compatible remote control, complete the final assembly and fly! Versatile application possibilities
Thick grass, gravel roads, dirt roads; you can fly off these and many other surfaces that are not suitable for most models of this size. The robust landing gear is equipped with oversized tires that roll smoothly over uneven surfaces and provide excellent ground clearance for the propeller. Installation of the optional float set (HBZ7390, sold separately) takes just minutes. The airplane and float set include all the necessary hardware to enable you to fly from lakes and ponds
Spektrum Smart battery and charger
The RTF version contains a 3S 2200mAh Spektrum Smart LiPo battery and a S120 USB-C Smart charger that can be used with a variety of USB power sources. Simply connect the battery to the charger, and the exclusive Smart Technology determines the best charging parameters and starts the charging process to automatically charge the battery correctly and safely.
Durable design
The construction with advanced EPO material provides a lightweight yet durable airframe that is strong enough to withstand everyday wear and tear without deforming. And in the unfortunate event that you damage parts or components of the airframe and cannot repair them, a full line of replacement parts is available.
Easy assembly
The Carbon Cub S 2 is mostly delivered pre-assembled with the drive system, the servos and the installed flight controller and receiver. All you have to do is to perform a quick and easy final assembly without using glue or special tools, and you can fly in less time than it takes to charge the battery!
Optional landing flaps
Functional landing flaps are an option for improved handling in slow flight and even shorter take-offs and landings. This feature requires a 7-channel computer transmitter, flap servo and servo cable extension (sold separately).
Optional landing support sensor for softer landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is easy to install and provides automatic "float-out" control to help inexperienced pilots land "softer" by minimizing or completely eliminating bouncing and jumping (works on many / most surfaces and provides optimal performance on grass runways).
