Whether you've never flown RC before or you got your first taste of flying with a multirotor drone, the revolutionary Carbon Cub S+ is the most versatile, capable and easiest to fly RC airplane yet. Based on the Carbon Cub by Cub Crafters, an upgraded and thoroughly modern iteration of the classic Super Cub, and equipped with Horizon Hobby's exclusive and innovative SAFE® Plus GPS-enabled drone technology, this scale reproduction makes it easier to learn to fly in less time than ever before. Advanced features including AutoLand, Holding Pattern and Virtual Fence make it easy for almost anyone to fly successfully from their very first flight, while additional features including oversized tundra tires and optional flaps and floats offer the capability and versatility to fly from almost any surface, anywhere.



Oversized Tundra Tires

Thick grass, gravel paths, dirt trails - Tundra wheels can tackle these and many other surfaces that would be impossible for most models of this size to handle.

Optional Flaps

The functional flaps are an option for impressive short-field takeoff and landing performance. This feature requires a 7+ channel computer transmitter, a flap servo, and a servo extension. (Sold Separately)


Optional Floats

Turn your model into a float plane with the optional Hobbyzone float set. Installation takes just a few minutes and all the necessary hardware is included with the aircraft and float set.




AutoLand

When activated after holding down a button, the advanced AutoLand function puts the Carbon Cub S+ on a stabilized approach to autonomously land near the GPS initialization point. You can even provide some directional guidance to avoid obstacles or to adjust the approach while letting the system do the rest to execute a safe landing. As your skills progress and you gain more confidence you can take over more of the control inputs, eventually learning to land without any assistance from the automated system at all.

Holding Pattern

This handy SAFE Plus exclusive feature lets you essentially "pause" a flight by putting the airplane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When activated after the quick press of a button, the airplane will automatically return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle until the command is cancelled. It's a great way to safely hand the controls to a friend or to regain visual contact if you ever lose sight of the model.

Virtual Fence

It's easy to accidentally let an RC airplane fly too far away, but with Virtual Fence worry no more because it creates an invisible boundary the airplane won't fly past. When the airplane reaches this boundary it will automatically turn around and fly back toward the GPS initialization point, then it will wag the wings to let you know when you have control again.

Panic Recovery

If you ever lose control of the airplane in the more advanced control modes simply switch to Beginner Mode and release the control sticks. SAFE® Plus technology will automatically return the airplane to level flight.


Beginner Mode

Pitch and bank angle limits prevent over-control that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released the airplane returns to level flight on its own. Best of all takeoffs are as simple as giving full throttle and letting the airplane fly off the ground or by giving it a quick hand launch.


Intermediate Mode

More freedom in pitch and bank, but still prevents over-control and does not return to level flight on its own. This mode allows you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend faster as your skills advance. Beginner mode automatically activates and returns the airplane to level flight when the airplane descends below approximately 30 feet above ground level and the sticks are released.


Experienced Mode

No pitch or bank angle limits so you have complete control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, stall turns and more. Panic Recovery Mode can be activated by switching to Beginner Mode and releasing the sticks.

I already fly a Blade 230s Helicopter with its supplied RTF DXe Transmitter , can I use this transmitter if I purchased the Carbon Cub S in BNF option , or do I need the RTF option ,possibly saving myself Some money , ? Thank you Ashley
Ashley / 30th April 2019

Yes - your DXe would bind and work. 

You may however want to invest in the SPMA3065 USB cable to program it up for the new model though

 

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Can I use a mode 1 tx with this model Cheers Ray
Ray Beadle / 4th April 2019

Sure, you can use whatever Spektrum DSMX/DSM2 transmitter you wish.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What is the cost of a suitable transmitor,battery and charger for the carbon cub S+ bnf please
Malcolm Parker / 10th January 2019

It will be signficantly more than buying the RTF version HBZ3250

Suitable items would be:

Transmitter SPMR1000EU

Battery EFLB22003S30

Charger ET0225

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Do you post to northern ireland and can l pay through PayPal.
Kenny Laverty / 25th November 2018

Yes, and yes!

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Is this item suitable with the spectrum dx6i ?
John Dutton / 3rd November 2018

Yes, if your DX6i has a DSMX or DSM2 logo then it will bind fine.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What is the cost of carbon Cub with flaps please?
Neil Armer / 23rd June 2018

To add flaps you'd need a PKZ1090 servo and a PKZ5403 extension lead.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Can flaps on Carbon Cub S+ be used from Spektrum DX6i by mixing?
Steve Forshaw / 10th January 2018

Ideally you'd want a 7+ channel transmitter for proper flaps operation...
