Carbon Cub S2 1.3m Cleetus McFarland Special Edition BNF Basic (HBZ320051SE)
The Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Cleetus McFarland Special Edition model aircraft is a unique creation by HobbyZone, inspired by the well-known YouTuber Cleetus McFarland and his full-scale CubCrafters Carbon Cub. This impressive RC airplane builds on the success of the best-selling Carbon Cub S 2, combining iconic looks with cutting-edge technology to provide a thrilling flying experience for pilots of all skill levels.
At the heart of this model is Horizon Hobby's innovative SAFE technology, designed to make flying accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether you are a beginner or an experienced pilot. The Carbon Cub S 2 features a robust EPO airframe that not only ensures durability but also contributes to its lightweight design, allowing it to perform exceptionally well in various environments. The airplane is powered by a highly efficient brushless motor and includes a telemetry-capable electronic speed control, making it perfect for those who are eager to learn how to navigate the skies.
One remarkable aspect of the Carbon Cub S 2 is its versatile landing gear, complete with oversized “tundra” tires, enabling takeoffs and landings on diverse surfaces such as grass, gravel, and dirt. To expand its potential, optional floats can be installed, allowing for takeoffs and landings on water. This versatile model also offers multiple flight modes—beginner, intermediate, and experienced—giving pilots the ability to progress at their own pace. The Panic Recovery feature serves as an extra safety net, automatically returning the airplane to stable flight with the press of a button.
For those seeking additional features, the model can be upgraded with SAFE Plus technology, introducing enhancements such as AutoLand and Virtual Fence. These advanced functionalities make it even easier to learn flight maneuvers while ensuring that pilots are never too far away from control. The Ready-To-Fly version is conveniently packaged with everything needed to start flying, except for the battery and charger, making it a fantastic choice for both first-time and seasoned pilots. With its exceptional design, advanced technology, and the personal touch of Cleetus McFarland, the Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Special Edition is a must-have for any RC aviation enthusiast.
