Description

Taking inspiration from YouTube star Cleetus McFarland’s full-scale CubCrafters aircraft, the HobbyZone Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Special Edition combines iconic scale looks with beginner-friendly flying capabilities. Constructed from lightweight yet resilient EPO foam, this high-wing trainer replicates the short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities of the full-sized aircraft. At its core lies a factory-installed brushless outrunner motor and a 30A telemetry-capable ESC, delivering smooth efficiency and ample power for scale cruising or basic aerobatics. The heavy-duty taildragger landing gear features oversized tundra tyres that easily roll over thick grass, gravel, and dirt tracks, while optional floats can be installed for lake flying.

Engineered to help new pilots succeed from their very first flight, this aircraft features Horizon Hobby’s exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology. With Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced flight modes selectable at the flip of a switch, pilots can progressively develop their skills while pitch and bank limits prevent over-controlling. If orientation is lost, pressing the Panic Recovery button instantly returns the model to straight and level flight. The Ready-To-Fly Basic package includes a Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter along with a Steam key for the RealFlight Trainer Edition simulator, allowing you to practice on your computer before heading to the airfield. Just add your preferred 3S LiPo battery and charger, assemble the glue-free airframe, and enjoy flying high.

AutoLand
AutoLand

Holding down a single button puts the aeroplane on a stabilised approach to land automatically near your takeoff point. You can nudge direction to avoid obstacles while letting the automated system handle the touchdown.

RealFlight Simulator Included
RealFlight Simulator Included

Practise flying at home before taking to the skies. The included full version of RealFlight Trainer Edition features Virtual Flight Instructor lessons and popular Horizon Hobby trainer aircraft. Simply connect the included DXS transmitter to your computer via USB-C to build piloting skills on your PC or laptop anytime.

SAFE Panic Recovery button

If you lose orientation or control in intermediate or advanced flight modes, hit the Panic Recovery button or switch to Beginner Mode. Built-in SAFE technology levels the wings automatically to save your aircraft.

Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Perfect Landings
Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Perfect Landings

Help master landings with the optional Spektrum™ Landing Assist Sensor (LAS). This easy-to-install sensor provides automatic "flare" control to help new pilots achieve smooth landings by minimising or eliminating bouncing. It works over most surfaces and is especially effective on grass, building confidence with every flight.

GPS Holding Pattern
GPS Holding Pattern

Pause your flight at any time with a quick button press. The aircraft returns to a position directly above your startup point and circles automatically until you cancel the command, making it easy to hand off controls or catch your breath.

Virtual Fence Boundary
Virtual Fence Boundary

Never worry about letting your model fly too far away. A virtual fence creates an invisible boundary, automatically turning the aeroplane around and flying back towards you the moment it reaches the edge.

Ready-To-Fly Basic Flexibility

This RTF Basic package includes a Spektrum DXS controller with 2.4 GHz DSMX tech and everything needed to take off except a battery and charger. Pair it with your choice of 3S LiPo battery and charger to get airborne without delay.

Real-Time Telemetry
Real-Time Telemetry

Stay informed while flying with telemetry data sent straight from the ESC to your transmitter. Track remaining battery life via LED indicators and audible tones on the included DXS radio, or monitor motor RPM, voltage, and current on compatible Spektrum AirWare radios.

Durable EPO Construction
Durable EPO Construction

Moulded from advanced EPO material, the airframe stays light, agile, and tough enough to handle daily field punishment. Quick repairs using standard glues get you back in action fast, supported by a complete range of spare parts.

Easy Tool-Free Assembly
Easy Tool-Free Assembly

Arriving mostly factory-built with the power system, servos, and receiver pre-installed, getting airborne is quick and simple. Finish the final assembly in minutes without glue or special tools and prepare for launch before your battery finishes charging.

Versatile Gear Options

Blast off from thick grass, gravel paths, or dirt trails that stop other aeroplanes in their tracks. Oversized tyres absorb bumps on rough ground and ensure excellent propeller clearance, while optional floats let you convert to water takeoffs in minutes.
