Mine is nearly 1 yr old. I have flown it so much that the yellow paint has faded to more like eggshell white. I've had 2 crashes and snapped off the tail assembly in the same spot, and the custom mains i built tore up the battery cover. It's an awesome plane, and i plan on sprucing it up over the winter. Definitely buy one if you're considering it. I'm buying the SS for myself for Christmas.

The S2 has the weakest tailwheel gear. One less than perfect landing and the cheap thin spring bends. It wrecks the bottom Of the rudder and makes it weak. I've had to reinforce the bottom of the rudder with carbon rods to stiffen it and keep the wheel from tipping side to side Not impressed
@twillison8824 Ай бұрын
Really? I mean, yeah, it's on the weak side, but my primary issue was with the weak main gear. I custom made an aluminum set that solved the problem, though.

The optional GPS seems like a good part for an absolute beginner (like me). The GPS features seem as if they would lessen repairs and repair costs. That parts warranty seems like another good buy for a novice too. Nice video and info. Tnx, Rich. If anyone has any experience with the GPS as well as filing warrant claims, with the optional insurance, I would appreciate a reply here. Thanks.

Ahh the GPS, Landing Assist and the Flaps are optional add ons to make this plane a real dream to fly. Well not so fast! Try and find a KZbin video where these features are clearly demonstrated and how to setup....it is IMPOSSIBLE! Horizon Hobbies and Hobbyzone should be ashamed of their ineptness at showcases these feature in action. Many of us coming from drones (or even helicopters) with very user friendly GPS (Return to Home) functions, will not find it easy to enter the RC plane arena. So frustrating indeed!

Absolutely useless GPS function is a joke. Learn to fly and monitor the battery for best results

I like mine. This plane has very little down elevator in safe, or as3x mode for that matter. I gave mine a large mechanical adjustment so that it almost needs up elevator to stay level. Also run my cg more nose heavy. That would be my only complaint about this plane. Mine is a rtf so it has 3 flight modes. I suppose I could adjust more down elevator in forward programming? Maybe I'm not really sure. Does anyone have a suggestion on this? It's difficult to land sometimes because you simply can't get it down.
@thomasbenedict Жыл бұрын
I definitely had to spend some time getting the mechanical trim just right!
@jimhunt9745 Жыл бұрын
I love mine. It is a RTF. I learned to fly with it. It does loops, rolls and inverted flight well. Only a few crashes - trees. Had to replace servos and prop once after getting stuck in a tree. I love the Safe Mode. I can switch to it in-flight when things go bad and save a crash. I fly at athletic fields early in the morning. Watch for nets! 6 mph max wind. It is easy to fix with hot glue and clear packaging tape.

I put a 10x5 xoar prop on mine after I broke the stock prop. It's definitely better than the original one.

I've never flown RC planes before. But I've been doing research on them the last few months. I think I'm gonna end up buying the Carbon Cub S2 & your videos helped me to decide on that one. Thanks, enjoying your videos 🇺🇸🛩️

Thom, how do I Bind my NX10 to this Sport Cub? D R & Expo? AS3X & SAFE?
@thomasbenedict Жыл бұрын
That Area would not be my expertise. I bound the plane months ago by following along with Brian Phillips RC. He has a stellar you tube channel and good videos on binding this plane to a computerized transmitter.

Thom, you're very Industrious I also design and build equipment to help me out on the field. Thanks for showing me your projects....great idea with the toolbox and I especially like the slot for your transmitter I never thought of that I like the windsock also ..good deal...so glad your channel is growing. keep it going you're doing very well!

Mine will be here tomorrow... and the battery on Friday (figures). So I'll get it assembled tomorrow and stare at it for a day. Or make vroom vroom noises with it like you did. My first plane too. I figure if I can fly it a couple of times without destroying it, I'll spring for an NX8 and then see what'll be my second plane. I already have a bunch of RC cars, but I wanted to try something new.
@thomasbenedict Жыл бұрын
RobG Yes the Vroom warm ups are Key ! haha. With your background in RC I bet you will be able to learn the controls quick. One thing I love about planes, they can be simple to fly or as challenging as you want to make it.

I have it along with the NX8 and haven't flown it yet. Kind of discouraging to see how many times you've crashed it but good to see it is repairable. First flight will be in safe mode and in the spring of 2023.
@thomasbenedict Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! Please don't be discouraged flying this plane. The only reason I crashed that manny times is because I was trying to show off. HaHa, Safe Mode, no wind in a wide open field. This should set you up for a good Maiden flight.
@TOURMANBOB Жыл бұрын
@@thomasbenedict Thanks...that makes me feel a bit better. I added the flaps so the initial flight will also be to see if I have the correct mix of flaps and elevators. I might get the water skis as well as this looks like a good way to use the plane...cheers
