Hobbyzone Carbon Cub 2 1.3m SAFE RTF Basic

SMART TELEMETRY

You can enjoy all the benefits of Smart™ technology, use a Smart battery with the model and telemetry data such as current, voltage, temperature and rpm will be sent directly to your transmitter in real time. The DXS transmitter included in the set only indicates the voltage of the drive battery.

Durable construction

The model is made of solid and very durable material Z-Foam. The model stands out for its quiet flight thanks to the wing with a semi-symmetrical profile, the flight is therefore reasonably slow and very stable. The wide 3-wheel landing gear has a steerable nose wheel, so take-off and landing are very easy.

Easy access to the battery

Carbon Cub S 2 comes with complete electronics and drive installed, you only need to add a LiPol battery with a charger. The battery is stored in the lower part under a plastic cover and is tied with Velcro.

Tundra size wheels

The Carbon Cub S2's large balloon wheels can safely absorb uneven and rough runway surfaces that most models of this size would not be able to handle.

Optional flaps

Functional flaps are optional for impressive short-haul takeoffs and landings. This feature requires a 7-channel Spektrum transmitter, servos and extension cables. (Sold separately)

Optional floats

Floats are an option for conversion to a seaplane and flying on the water surface. Installation takes only a few minutes and all necessary accessories are included in the set and float kit (sold separately).

Optional module, LAS landing sensor

The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is easy to install and can provide automatic assistance during landing. Assists inexperienced pilots in landing by detecting height above terrain for accurate alignment and minimizes or eliminates bounce (works on most surfaces to ensure a safe landing).

Panic Recovery - Panic flight recovery

If you ever lose control of the aircraft in more advanced flight modes, simply switch to beginner mode and release the control sticks. SAFE® Plus technology automatically returns the aircraft to level flight.

Beginner mode

A beginner, it has a limited elevator and aileron tilt, when the levers are put in neutral, the model stabilizes in a horizontal position, the engine speed is regulated according to the climb or descent, and there is also assistance during take-off and landing.

Advanced mode

The Advanced mode allows a greater tilt of the model, but it will not roll over on its back or fall. Flight positions are limited to approximately 60° tilt. There is already a lot of control freedom and minimal flight corrections are made. When flying above 15m, the automatic comparison of the model to the horizontal position after releasing the levers is not functional.

Expert mode

In the Expert flight mode, control is completely free without corrections and without restrictions on flight positions. You can even fly on your back and perform acrobatic maneuvers.

Spektrum DXS transmitter

The Spektrum DXS 7-channel RC transmitter supports Spektrum™ Smart technology for battery telemetry of Smart controllers and Smart LiPol batteries. Thanks to the possibility of programming using a computer or mobile devices, you can simply upload the finished settings to the transmitter. Without a cable, you can easily set reverse channels and change modes using transmitter programming. The transmitter has full range, DSMX® interference immunity, advanced telemetry and proven transmitter ergonomics. Transmitter registration and updates are possible via a PC with an optional USB programming cable (available separately). The transmitter is configured to provide the benefits of SAFE® technology with compatible SAFE-equipped receivers

Battery voltage telemetry

The transmitter has 4 diodes on the front of the case under the transmitter battery voltage indicator, which will inform you of the status of the flight battery. Four green LEDs illuminate when the flight battery is fully charged, 3 indicate a voltage between half and full, 2 a half-charged battery, and one LED if the battery is low.

AutoLand, assisted landing

After activating and pressing the button, the AutoLand Assisted Landing function will be activated and the Carbon Cub S+ will independently land at the launch initialization location. You can interrupt the automatic landing at any time by simply pressing a button, avoid obstacles or adjust the direction, or if there is no danger, let the system work to guide the model to a safe landing. As you gain more confidence, you can take more control and eventually learn to land without assistance.

Holding Pattern - circling above the take-off point

This nifty exclusive SAFE Plus feature essentially allows you to "pause" your flight so that when activated and quickly pressed, the aircraft will automatically return to a position above the GPS home point and circle until the command is cancelled. It's a great way to safely hand off control to a friend or regain visual contact if you're out of control and don't know the model's position.

Virtual Fence - Virtual fence

It's very easy to let the model fly too far, but with Virtual Fence you don't have to worry anymore because it creates an invisible boundary that the model won't cross. When it reaches this limit, it automatically turns and flies back, then flaps its wings to indicate that steering control has been re-established.

Panic Recovery - Panic flight recovery

If you ever lose control of the aircraft in more advanced flight modes, simply switch to beginner mode and release the control sticks. SAFE® Plus technology automatically returns the aircraft to level flight.

USB source

We recommend a powerful USB source to power the USB charger. With this source, you can achieve significantly shorter charging times compared to classic USB sources (such as phone chargers).

Recommended batteries

We recommend a 3-cell (11.1 V) LiPol drive battery to power the model.

• 
  
• For economical flying LiPo battery E-flite LiPo 11.1V 1800mAh 30C with EC3 connector.
  
• Smart LiPo battery Spektrum Smart LiPo 11.1V 2200mAh 30C IC3 with Smart technology
  
• Smart LiPo battery Spektrum Smart LiPo 11.1V 2200mAh 30C IC3 with Smart G2 technology
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.

Recommended chargers for conventional LiPol and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern Smart LiPo batteries in RC models of airplanes or helicopters, or to charge your batteries from other manufacturers, then we recommend the following chargers:

• 
  
• Network charger Spektrum S155 with one output 1x 55W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1100 with one output 1x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2100 with one output 2x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2200 with two outputs 2x 200W .
  

Accessories for normal operation

For the normal operation of flying RC models, you need suitable adhesives, a set of tools and a storage case for LiPol batteries. From our assortment, we recommend a quality set of 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0mm allen screwdrivers and Modelcraft Phillips screwdrivers (set of 6). Modelcraft mini pliers in a case (set) will certainly come in handy for assembly, and for cutting a Modelcraft cutting knife with an A6 pad.

For quick repair of model airplanes, we recommend the fast-curing 4-minute Epoxy glue. From our offer, we recommend Speed Epoxy 4 min. 71g

Protective covers for accumulators

Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. The LiPo battery is particularly susceptible to mechanical damage and therefore needs to be thoroughly protected.
