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.

batteries for the transmitter, a Spektrum Smart rechargeable lithium
polymer battery for the airplane and a Smart USB charger. That means

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).
