More Information

The HobbyZone Sport Cub S 2 is based on one of the all time most popular trainer aircraft ever designed for learning to fly radio controlled RC aeroplanes, the legendary Sport Cub S. Its ultra micro size makes it the ideal choice for a smaller trainer model that can be flown in yards, parks, soccer fields, football fields, and other suitable spaces where larger models cannot typically be flown successfully by first time pilots. Exclusive SAFE Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope technology helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation, and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced modes allow you to choose the level of stability and control you need, or are ready to try, at the flip of a switch.

Welcome to the exciting world of RC radio controlled flight. If you have ever dreamed of taking to the skies, Horizon Hobby has you covered. They are committed to engineering aircraft that you can learn to fly with successfully even if you have never flown RC before. Every HobbyZone aircraft features industry leading design and technology developed by experts to keep you in control and learning at your own pace so you can turn your dreams of flight into a reality.

The HobbyZone Sport Cub S 2 makes learning to fly RC aeroplanes in more places and smaller spaces easier than ever. Based on one of the most popular trainer aircraft ever designed, the legendary Sport Cub S, its ultra micro size makes it the ideal choice for a smaller trainer model that can be flown in large yards, small parks, soccer fields, football fields, and other suitable spaces where larger models cannot typically be flown successfully by first time pilots. Install the optional float set EFLUA1190 sold separately and you can add large pools and small ponds to the list of places you can fly. Exclusive SAFE technology helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation, and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced modes allow you to choose the level of stability and control you need, or are ready to try, at the flip of a switch. Plus, you can instantly return to stable flight using Panic Recovery in any flight mode. This makes the Sport Cub S 2 a natural evolution of the trainer many pilots learned to fly with because it includes all of the same great features, while also adding new telemetry capabilities that send flight battery voltage to the transmitter to make the pilot better aware of how much power remains.

And the fun does not stop after you learn how to fly. Its lightweight yet durable airframe is equipped with a powerful electric motor that delivers long flight times and provides plenty of speed and power to perform aerobatic manoeuvres including loops, rolls, and even inverted upside down flight. That means the Sport Cub S 2 is a model even experienced pilots will appreciate and enjoy flying, and can also use to teach others to fly. The Bind N Fly Basic version is the perfect choice for those pilots because it allows them to use their preferred Spektrum transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own. The Ready To Fly version is perfect for first time pilots because it includes a Spektrum controller transmitter equipped with DSMX 2.4GHz technology, AA batteries for the transmitter, plus a rechargeable LiPo flight battery and USB charger. That means there is nothing extra to buy or provide. Best of all, both versions arrive 100% factory assembled and ready to go right out of the box, no assembly required.

If this is your first RC aeroplane, Horizon Hobby exclusive SAFE technology prevents overcontrol and crashes. It also offers multiple flight modes to deliver more control and capability as your skills progress at the flip of a switch.

Beginner Mode

In this flight mode, the aeroplane has pitch up down and bank left right angle limits that prevent overcontrol which could lead to loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the aeroplane automatically returns to level flight, allowing you to relax and enjoy simply steering the aeroplane through the sky. Take offs are as simple as applying full throttle and letting the aeroplane lift off from a suitable surface, or by giving it a quick hand launch over surfaces such as grass. Landings are as easy as reducing the throttle and letting it glide to the ground.

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode allows more freedom in pitch and bank but still prevents significant overcontrol and the aeroplane does not return to level flight automatically. This allows tighter turns and faster climbs and descents as your skills improve.

Experienced Mode

In this flight mode there are no pitch or bank angle limits so you have complete control. You can fly inverted upside down and perform aerobatic manoeuvres including loops, rolls, stall turns, and more.

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the aeroplane in the Intermediate or Experienced flight modes, simply activate Panic Recovery at the push of a button and release the control sticks. SAFE technology will automatically return the aeroplane to level flight.
