More Information
Now it is easier than ever to learn to fly RC radio controlled aeroplanes in more places and smaller spaces with the HobbyZone XCub 450mm. Its ultra micro size makes it perfect for flying in large yards, parks, soccer fields, and other suitable spaces where larger trainer models cannot typically be flown successfully by first time pilots. Plus, it features a pop off prop saver design and incredibly tough EPP construction that makes it one of the most durable trainer aeroplanes yet. Best of all, it also features SAFE Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope technology that helps prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation, and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. The 100% factory assembled airframe is equipped with a reliable electric power system, receiver, and servos. It is also RTF Ready To Fly right out of the box, including two rechargeable batteries, a charger, and a controller transmitter, so there is nothing else you need to buy or provide to fly.
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 XCub 450mm is a scale replica of the popular XCub by CubCrafters, which is the safest and most extensively tested adventure aeroplane ever. It is also an upgraded and modern iteration of the Super Cub and the classic J-3 Cub that came before it, which was one of the most popular trainer aircraft designed before WWII. That is a big part of why the XCub 450mm makes learning to fly radio controlled aeroplanes in more places and smaller spaces easy and fun. Its ultra micro size makes it an ideal choice for a smaller trainer model that can be flown in large yards, parks, soccer fields, and other suitable spaces where larger models cannot typically be flown successfully by first time pilots. Best of all, it is equipped with SAFE technology that helps prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation, and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced flight modes allow you to choose the level of stability and control you need, or are ready to try, at the flip of a switch.
And the fun does not stop while or after you learn how to fly. The lightweight yet extremely durable EPP 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 in the Experienced mode. Or, if you are not ready to perform aerobatics on your own, the XCub can automatically perform single or even multiple loops or rolls in the Beginner or Intermediate flight modes with just a quick press of the Aerobatics button and by moving the control stick in the desired direction.
This Ready To Fly RTF model includes everything needed to fly in one box and is a perfect choice if you are a new RC pilot. From the 5 channel 2.4GHz controller transmitter and the AA batteries for it, to the two 1S 400mAh rechargeable Lithium Polymer LiPo batteries and a convenient charger that can be used with a variety of USB power sources, there is nothing extra you need to buy or provide. There is even a spare propeller featuring the unique pop off prop saver design included in the rare chance you might need it.
