Tips and Tricks to Properly Setup your Hobbyzone Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m

Do this before you fly! Perhaps the most common mistake with RC planes is not doing the proper pre-flight setup to make sure the plane is ready to go. Topics include making sure your CG is set properly, all control surfaces are centered, control surfaces move in the right direction, AS3X and SAFE work properly, throttle cut is setup, and all fasteners are tight. Skipping these important steps can make for a terrible experience.

First time using your videos… Awesome job. Thank you so much. Very very informative, I bought the exact plane, put it all together, and upon doing my checks found that the rudder and the vertical stabilizer are definitely not lined up… Wondering if anyone else had this issue. I bought this from a local hobby shop… The only resolution I see to this is replacement of the rudder itself it looks to be deformed from the factory. I did have trouble getting the wings to bolt on the fuselage almost as if the screws were too short, but I did finally get it with some pressure. hopefully my Local, hobby shop will take care of me without me having to go through Horizon we shall see. 21:58

Great video..I love my cub but find it is difficult to get enough down elevator in Safe to bring the plane down in a controlled way. Plane likes to float Any ideas to get more throws in safe

Hi just got mine I’m concerned about the charging time of my battery I’m just wondering how long it takes for your battery to charge

Great video concise, easy to for AS-3-X. What is that?

[juankaramirez]

Great video and nice tips as well as pre flight preparations. One issue I'm having with this plane is that I can't land it in the begginer or intermediate mode, as the nose won't go down unless I apply throttle. I can only land in advanced mode. Is anyone experiencing this? Or what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Very helpful, thanks. I'm curious how you got all the huge Hobbyzone stickers off

hello from i can put a GoPro on this plane with out changing the cg? i just finish my maiden flight with this plane. awesome!

[samiam]

I have his and hers of this plane. I salvaged a LONG control wire from a Blixler. I got the flaps to work ONCE. Have you tried to get them to work with this radio?

[corsair]

Those "little checks" are what we flight mechanics call a "preflight". ;)

[hilltop]

Getting back into flying after many years. Can you turn off the safe and ax3s stuff? I do not want that on. I want a pure flying experience.

I plugged in my battery and the ailerons on either side have moved opposite directions, and the rudder is turned to move the plane to the right. I can’t seem to control the plane at all or turn on the propeller and I’m not entirely sure why. Got any suggestions for troubleshooting or a guide in addition to the instruction manual?

Question, I've flew my cub a few times and add flaps to mine. Now I can't get the gryo to work have you had any issues with it? I still have the 3 modes but when you tip it so far it doesn't try to level it's self anymore I've made a new plane on my nx8 transmitter without the flaps plugged in and everything

Is the Carbon Club S2 FCC Remote ID compliant?

[mikemazza]

How do you determine the CG without that CG stand you have? Do I need to go purchase one of those stands? Please advise.

[mikemazza]

Another question for you as I have the exact plane. The manual says the CG is 65MM from the leading edge of the wing. This is 2.5 inches and I marked this on the wings with a black sharpie. In order to balance the plane as you suggested below with my fingers, I need to move the battery all the way forward (towards the propeller) in the battery compartment. Does that sound right? Appreciate your help.
