Introduction:
Even if you’ve never flown a radio controlled (RC)
aircraft before, the Carbon Cub S 2 is the most versatile, capable and easiest
to fly scale RC airplane yet! Based on the Carbon Cub by CubCrafters, an
upgraded and thoroughly modern iteration of the classic Super Cub, and equipped
with Horizon Hobby’s exclusive and innovative SAFE technology, this scale
reproduction makes it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully.
And the addition of telemetry-capable and Smart components including an ESC,
battery and charger (battery and charger sold separately for the BNF Basic
version), along with the option to add SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology
and the Landing Assist Sensor (LAS), makes learning to fly even easier than
ever before!

Overview:
Welcome to the exciting world of RC (Radio Controlled)
flight! If you’ve ever dreamed of taking to the skies, Horizon Hobby has you
covered. We are committed to engineering aircraft that you can learn to fly
with successfully even if you’ve never flown RC before. Every HobbyZone aircraft
we offer 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 Carbon Cub S 2 is the easiest to fly,
most capable and versatile scale trainer RC airplane yet! It’s equipped with
exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology that 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. And you can instantly return to steady flight using
Panic Recovery with the push of a button in any flight mode. Oversized tires
make it possible to take off and land on a variety of surfaces including thick
grass, gravel paths, dirt trails and smooth pavement, or you can install the
optional floats to fly from water – which adds to its unmatched versatility and
capabilities.
The Carbon Cub S 2 is equipped with a 30-amp
telemetry-capable ESC that provides a variety of real-time power system related
telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more to
compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters, and even
approximate flight battery power remaining via multiple LEDs on the DXS
transmitter included with the RTF version. The addition of exclusive Spektrum
Smart components including a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and charger make it
more convenient to charge properly and safely (battery and charger sold
separately for the BNF® Basic version). And you have the option to easily
upgrade to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology that offers features such as
AutoLand and Virtual Fence, along with the option to install the Landing Assist
Sensor (LAS) that automatically “flares” for smoother landings, to
make learning to fly – and to land safely – easier than ever!
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes everything needed
to fly in one box, and is the perfect choice if you’re a new RC pilot. From the
Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter you can use with other Bind-N-Fly (BNF)
and BNF Basic aircraft after you learn to fly the Carbon Cub S 2, to the 3S
2200mAh Smart LiPo battery that delivers long flight times and the convenient
S120 USB-C Smart charger that can be used with a variety of USB power sources,
there’s nothing extra you need to buy or provide! A BNF Basic version is also
available for experienced pilots who want to use their favorite Spektrum
transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own. And for
both versions, the powerful and efficient brushless power system including a
telemetry-capable ESC, plus the flight controller, receiver and servos, are all
factory-installed in the durable EPO airframe that assembles quickly and easily
without the need for glue or special tools.

Ready-To-Fly Convenience:
This Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes a Spektrum DXS
controller/transmitter equipped with industry-leading DSMX 2.4GHz
technology and everything else you need to fly including AA batteries for the
transmitter, a Spektrum Smart rechargeable lithium polymer battery for the
airplane and a Smart USB charger. That means there’s nothing extra to buy or
provide so you can fly! The included transmitter, battery and charger can also
be used with other Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic RC aircraft.
Spektrum Smart Battery and Charger:
The RTF version includes a Spektrum 3S 2200mAh Smart LiPo
battery and an 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 will determine and start charging at the best rate to properly and
safely charge the battery automatically.
Durable Design:
Construction with advanced EPO material delivers a
lightweight yet durable airframe that’s tough enough to handle everyday flying
punishment without getting bent out of shape. And in the unfortunate event you
damage any airframe parts or components and can’t repair them, a full line of
replacement parts is readily available.
Easy Assembly:
The Carbon Cub S 2 arrives mostly factory-assembled with
the power system, servos plus the flight controller and receiver installed. All
you need to do is finish some quick and easy final assembly, without the use of
glue or special tools, and you’ll be ready to fly in less time than it takes to
charge a battery!
Versatile Gear Options:
Thick grass, gravel paths, dirt trails; you can fly from
these and many other surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size
to handle. The robust landing gear is equipped with oversized tires that soak
up the bumps of rough surfaces and provide excellent prop clearance. The
optional float set (sold separately) takes just a few minutes to install and
all the necessary hardware is included with the aircraft and float set so you
can fly from lakes and ponds.
Optional Flaps:
Functional flaps are an option for improved slow speed
handling and even shorter takeoffs and landings. This feature requires a 7+ channel
computer transmitter plus a flap servo and a servo extension (sold separately).
Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Smoother Landings:
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is easy to
install and provides automatic “flare” control to help inexperienced
pilots “grease” landings by minimizing or completely eliminating
bouncing (works over many/most surfaces and provides optimum performance when
flying over/landing in grass).
