Your cart is empty.The HobbyZone Sport Cub S 2 is based on one of the all-time most popular RC trainer aircraft ever designed for learning to fly radio controlled airplanes - 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 can’t typically be flown successfully by first-time pilots. Exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology helps 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. The Bind-N-Fly Basic version (HBZ44500) is the perfect choice for RC pilots with some existing experience, because it allows them to use their own favorite Spektrum transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own

This is popular with my R/C club for indoor flying. Through the magic of AS3X and SAFE, it can fly outdoors too. Read the instructions please, because this plane uses a custom SAFE configuration. There are 3 settings (not 2 like you might be used to): beginner, intermediate and expert. Beginner and intermediate include rudder/aileron mixing, which is cool. Most of us use B or I indoors, even though we are experienced pilots. One note: you should buy a spare Prop and Spinner (part number HBZ4401), and a spare Prop Shaft (part number HBZ4404). Here's why: The prop screws onto the threaded end of the prop shaft. On a rough landing the shaft will shear off (the prop shaft is thinner than a toothpick), leaving the shaft nib threaded inside the prop. You can't remove it, and thus both the shaft and prop are destroyed from one rough landing. Most of us have several of both on hand during our indoor flying sessions. It's amazing that this plan can fly on one tiny battery the size of a piece of gum.

I have flown this one outside and have seen it flown indoors and it performs well but be warned, it can't handle winds over 7 MPH but on calm days it is a lot of fun outdoors. The stabilization system helps a lot in trickier situations even for more experienced pilots and with it disabled basic aerobatics such as loops, rolls and flying inverted are all possible. Personally I do recommend 250 mAH cells for extended flight times and the motor does wear out because it is brushed but replacement is easy and replacement motors are available.

L’avion est arrivé sans télécommande, sans batterie. Les images sont trompeuses, c’est de l’escroquerie. A éviter

Good 3 modes - SAFE very useful for first time flyers keeps plane level, controlled and land-able on throttle only. Takes some damage well! Good supply of spare parts.

I picked this up because it was a great deal but I did not expect much from it. Boy, was I wrong. This is perfect for someone wanting to check out flying and has all the features to have a positive flight. It is also great for the pro when at the flying club when you just want to buzz around and have fun without setting up a larger, more expensive plane. I very happy I made the deal and bought it. I won't fly it every week but it's there when I want to.

Update: After requesting for a replacement, Amazon sent me a new Club free of charge. After binding the plane, it flew great! Did not have the same issue as the one before it. The plane itself flys great and glides really nicely. Great beginner plane! The only issue I have noticed so far is that the plane does not give you any kind of warning to a low battery. As soon as the motor is dead, there isn’t even enough juice to operate the flap servos to land smoothly. Thankfully the crash didn’t damage anything.(First review: I bought this plane as a late birthday present for my brother to enjoy around his place. The plane itself is the perfect size and has a nice quality feel to it. Having 3 spare spectrum transmitters, I figured BNF would be the way to go on this. However, after trying three remotes and several binding options, I can NOT get this plane’s elevators to move at all. Throttle/ wing servos work fine with all remotes I tried, but the elevator servo is entirely unresponsive. I hate giving bad reviews, especially on this brand. (Considering the great luck I’ve had with em in the past) But I can’t give 5 stars to a plane that can’t fly :( )

I bought the Cub S and the matching Spektrum DXS transmitter. After many, many attempts, the throttle channel would not work. All the other channels were fine. I tried all the suggested remedies (such as reducing the throttle trim), to no avail.I finally returned the Cub and bought another one. Same problem. I then bought a second DXS transmitter. No help.In desperation, I repeatedly performed the binding process and suddenly the throttle channel worked.Since then, I have had to bind the system over and over to get the throttle channel to work.NOTE: The receiver does not retain binding after the battery is disconnected.NOTE: The receiver is not accessible. You can't use a binding plug. I could not get a Spektrum DXS5 to bind. I only had success with the suggested DXS transmitter.Once I finally had the system working, the plane flew very well. But the hassle ruins the whole experience for me.

L'avion est livré seul, pas de manette, pas de batterie, rien ! pas pratique pour faire voler !!! A fuir ou à acheter en toute connaissance de cause mais l'info n'est pas vraiment claire sur le descriptif et surtout pas logique.
