Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m RTF Basic (HBZ320001)

The HobbyZone Carbon Cub S 2 is the most versatile, capable, and easiest to fly scale RC trainer airplane, designed for aspiring pilots at any skill level. This remarkable aircraft is based on the iconic Carbon Cub from CubCrafters, representing a modern upgrade to the classic Super Cub. It is equipped with Horizon Hobby's innovative SAFE technology, which helps ensure a safe and successful flying experience.

The Carbon Cub S 2 boasts a durable EPO airframe, efficient brushless motor, and telemetry-capable electronic speed control (ESC), along with factory-installed flight controller, receiver, and servos. The aircraft features robust taildragger landing gear complete with oversized "tundra" tires and a steerable tailwheel, enabling it to operate on various surfaces, including pavement, grass, and gravel. Optional floats can also be fitted for water takeoffs and landings, showcasing its exceptional adaptability.

Offering Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced flight modes, this trainer allows you to switch easily between the levels of stability and control that suit your flying skills.

The flight system is capable of aerobatic maneuvers, such as loops, rolls, and inverted flight, making it perfect for both training and more advanced flying techniques.

With easy assembly that requires no glue or special tools, most of the components come pre-installed, allowing you to get flying in less time than it takes to charge a battery. The Carbon Cub S 2 is not only suitable for new pilots but is also capable of thrilling aerobatic performance for seasoned RC enthusiasts.
