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.
RTF Spektrum™ DXe 2.4GHz Transmitter
The included RTF version DXe transmitter is bound to the aircraft at the factory. The DXe can also be used with other RC aircraft as a pilot's skills progress.
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.

Questions & Answers
If your transmitter has a DSMX logo and 6+ channels, then yes it should work fine
We'd usually run 4 x rechargeable AA's in there and use a charger such as NX83 to charge up.
The included DXe will not be able to support flaps.
You would need something like the DX8 for them.
You want to use EFLB13003S20 or EFLB18003S30 or EFLB22003S30 in this plane
Sure, just choose "instore collection" as your delivery method.
- Flying Weight: 36.1 - 37.9 ounces (1023 - 1075 grams)
Yes, you can get the HBZ7390 float set
Enjoy Bob, they are a cracking plane!
Yes, just get in touch with our team with your order number and we can include VAT forms.
Orders sent outside the EU are automatically refunded the VAT.
Yes, the wings bolt on/off so can be removed if needed for transport.
Hi Steven,
We don't offer the flaps pre-fitted but it would be easy enough for you to do.
So you could look at say the #SPMR8100EU DX8e or #SPMR8000 DX8 transmitters.
The flaps require servo #PKZ1090 and extension lead #PKZ5403
Yes the stock battery is a 1300 mah (EFLB13003S20)
You can run either the 1800mAh EFLB18003S30 or the 2200mAh EFLB22003S30 for increased runtime
These will take around 45-60 mins to charge.
Flight time is around 5-10 mins per pack, depending on your flying style.
You'd be fine with this as a novice to planes. They are very stable in flight, and designed as a trainer plane for beginners.
That's about right for the stock battery.
You could get nearly double that with the higher capacity EFLB22003S battery
No, you'd want a 7+ channel transmitter for flaps.
You need 7 or more channels to operate flaps, so the DXe included won't cut it.
You could look at say the SPMR8100EU DX8e or SPMR8000 DX8 transmitters.
The flaps require servo PKZ1090 and extension lead PKZ5403
Yes it comes with a Spektrum DXe handset
Yes the DXe transmitter can be purchased on it's own under part SPMR1000EU
You can also buy it with a receiver under part SPM1000EU
No, the floats are optional. They are HBZ7390
So you could look at say the SPMR8100EU DX8e or SPMR8000 DX8 transmitters.
The flaps require servo PKZ1090 and extension lead PKZ5403
Batteries we have the 1300mah EFLB13003S or the higher capacity 2200mah EFLB22003S
Yes, the DXe has a trainer port.
