HobbyZone RC Airplane Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m BNF Basic (Transmitter, Battery and Charger not Included) with Safe, HBZ32500, Yellow

This is a great training aircraft, I got one to help me learn to fly RC planes. I've flown some other trainers before and wanted to get back into it. The SAFE modes work well for learning the basics, it really does a good job keeping it stable while flying and makes it easy to operate. I found that after flying for a bit I didn't need it anymore, but once in a while it's still nice to turn on, especially if the plane is not trimmed out well and getting things back to level flight while I fuss around with the transmitter is rather useful. Flight wise it is capable of assorted basic aerobatic maneuvers, and the large wheels are wonderful for flying off of a grass field. Many other similarly sized aircraft seem to struggle with decent ground handling in the grass, but not this one. I'm now planning to buy a new plane and can safely say that this aircraft has been able to get me hooked on the hobby. I'd highly recommend this plane to anyone looking to learn to fly rc planes, it is quite stable, flies well and is relatively forgiving.

This plane is amazing and so much fun to fly. I am fairly new to the RC plane crowd, but have been flying drones for years. I was really surprised with how easy this plane is to fly. In beginner mode you can really get a good feel for the aircraft, and flying in general, and then move up to advanced mode where the flying really opens up. It is nice that you can switch between these modes on the fly (no pun intended), letting you fly casually and then flip the switch and start doing loops and barrel rolls, all in the same flight. The assembly was easy (it was bigger than I expected) and the RTF kit has everything you need to start flying. The kit comes with a 2200mAh battery, which gives you some decent flying time depending on how much throttle you are using. I also ordered a Spektrum smart 3200mAh battery which fits perfectly in the battery compartment and allows for an extended time in the air. I have not had any issue with not having flaps, if there is a little breeze you can fly into the wind and fly extremely slow without issue. I have only used this on a grass field and really haven't had any issues with nose overs...just one and that was my own fault, and with the durability of this plane there were no issues. There is also some nice add on equipment, such as Landing assist and GPS, that can be purchased for a relatively low cost, that can really help if you are a beginner pilot. There are also floats that you can purchase for water take offs and landings. I live on a lake so I really like that!! I would highly recommend this plane to anyone. It is a great plane for a beginner to get into the hobby, but also a fun plane for the seasoned pilots as well. Have Fun!!

As a kid, my dad and I built a few R/C planes and just could never keep them flying for long; a failure I was drawn to correct 40 years later. Thankfully, I came across this plane kit. The beginner mode is a savior and gives a novice pilot time and confidence to learn how to fly an R/C plane the right way. It took a couple hours to put everything together (taking my time). From flight one, I felt success and a big thrill. And although my first day of flying ended with the plane in a tree (100% pilot error), a big feeling of accomplishment was still achieved. The plane survived the crash and tumbling down half the tree, and I even flew it for about a week afterward with half a tail (that's how solid it flies) before the replacement I ordered came. I have since replaced the propeller as well - many replacement parts can be purchased online. Highly recommend to all!

Fragile as eggs. You need an engineering degree to assemble it. Batteries will not charge beyond 50 percent and you only get about 3 minutes flight time, can't even fly long enough to get the trim set. Wheels break upon first hard landing, which will come in first three minutes of flight,cause battery will die, after 12 hours of charging, and anything it touches will leave a dent or crunch some part of the p.o.s. Save your money and buy anything but this pile.
