The HobbyZone Sport Cub S 2 is based on one of the all-time most popular RC trainer aircraft ever designed for learning to fly radio controlled airplanes – the legendary Sport Cub S. Its ultra-micro size makes it the ideal choice for a smaller trainer model that can be flown in yards, parks, soccer fields, football fields and other suitable spaces where larger models can’t typically be flown successfully by first-time pilots. Exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology helps prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced modes allow you to choose the level of stability and control you need, or are ready to try, at the flip of a switch. The Bind-N-Fly Basic version (HBZ44500) is the perfect choice for RC pilots with some existing experience, because it allows them to use their own favorite Spektrum transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own

Intermediate: More freedom in pitch and bank, but still prevents significant over-control.
Experienced: No pitch or bank angle limits – allows flexibility to fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, stall turns.
