Introducing the HobbyZone® Sport Cub S 2, a revolutionary RC aircraft designed to make learning to fly easier and more accessible than ever before. Based on the beloved Sport Cub S, one of the most popular trainer aircraft in RC aviation history, this ultra-micro model is perfect for flying in smaller spaces such as yards, parks, and soccer fields, where larger models may struggle.
The HobbyZone® Sport Cub S 2 is engineered with industry-leading design and technology, including our exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, to ensure a smooth and enjoyable learning experience.
The RTF version includes everything you need to start flying right out of the box. From the Spektrum MLP6DSM 2.4GHz controller/transmitter to the rechargeable LiPo battery and USB charger, no additional purchases are necessary. Plus, the included Steam® key provides access to a trial version of the RealFlight® Trainer Edition RC flight simulator, allowing you to practice flying on your computer before taking to the skies.
Learn to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC airplane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology prevents over-control and crashes. It also offers multiple flight modes to deliver more control and capabilities as your skills progress at the flip of a switch:
Beginner Mode
In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch (up/down) and bank (left/right) angle limits that prevent over-control which could lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the airplane automatically returns to level flight allowing you to relax and enjoy simply ‘steering’ the airplane through the sky. Best of all, takeoffs are as simple as giving full throttle and letting the airplane fly off a suitable surface, or by giving it a quick hand launch over surfaces such as grass, and landings are as easy as lowering the throttle and letting it glide to a landing on its own.
Intermediate Mode
This flight mode allows more freedom in pitch and bank, but still prevents significant over-control and the airplane does not return to level flight on its own. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend faster as your skills advance.
Experienced Mode
In this flight mode there are no pitch or bank angle limits so you have complete control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, stall turns and more.
Panic Recovery
If you lose control of the airplane in the Intermediate or Experienced flight modes, simply activate the Panic Recovery mode with the push of a button and release the control sticks. SAFE technology will automatically return the airplane to level flight.
