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.

Compared to the Carbon Cub S+:

[slymeJT]

Best bit about SAFE for me (apart from me learning to to fly on my own using it) is when I use a buddy box arrangement to teach someone. Whatever mode they fly in I am set to beginner so when they get into trouble I just drop the trainer button and keep my hands off. The older (gyro deniers) fliers are always most impressed by my recoveries. I have explained that it's not me but they go all glazed over when I mention gyros so I just take the glory now.

I actually have the Old red version of this plane, Fly's great and installed flaps not to long ago. Have not tried yet . Sure it will be great. I do like the looks of the current yellow / silver. If I crashed mine and could not repair it would be replaced with this one. Also glad the GPS is now optional ! great job horizon.

Bought this it’s my first plane, and having fun with it very much

[westcentralfarmern]

I just got one myself because I got out of the hobby for a bit but now I’m fully back in and it is so fun

[craigschray]

I just love my Carbon Cub S2.
It's a great trainer. I personally like flying low and slow and doing touch and goes.
If you're interested in this plane and expect to perform stunts, you'll be playing with fire. Word of advice. If you do decide to perform basic aerobatic maneuvers, beef up the wing struts. I crashed mine a few nights ago after the wing strut literally got tangled and jammed in the aileron servo.

I just got this model and it is super fun to fly as a beginner with the safe mode

[robertoz]

I got this plane 2 months ago and havent had the time to fly it and enjoy it. I will fly it next week

[xspritegodx]

Gonna pre order this tomorrow and get fast shipping so I can get my hands on this bad boy ASAP!! 😁

[BEIFR]

Thanks for updating with Smart batteries! I think this is great RC plane to have even beyond its training use. It’s a great relaxing fun flying, bush plane and float plane. Just need you guys to recommend silver paint and graphics for the floats!

[BlueridgeAcres]

After teaching many the old school way, this innovative technology is well worth it

[SiRDean]

Great planes! I've painted mine green for a war tribute. 👍

[brookekathryn]

Love my S+! Fly's like a dream. Great lazy flyer when I'm not in the mood for hard 3D flight. Just got my wife away from her champ onto the S+ with a buddy box! she's loving it! Wish I had landing assist for her, but she will live! Lol

[victorrcjets]

Wow so many nice features in one small package the safe technology the smart technology the GPS technology and the Auto Land!

[DavidReynolds-kryh]

I’ve got the first version, crashed a few times and it’s still flying, my fault both times, first was allowing it to auto land and forgetting the tree behind where I took off from. So naturally as it was coming around for landing it crashed into the tree lol, fixed it up but then I didn’t realise the front undercarriage was weakened and it collapsed, but easily repaired.

[jjs]

Well done Horizon, looks like another great plane!
