Awesome plane beginner plane which can take off from grass and land smoothly. I thought it was going to flip. LOL Thank you

[@THEREALCAPTAINDREAD]

If I get into the RC planes or drones, are we supposed to register with FAA or something?

[@mrkmh1]

Dang I received my Sport Cub BNF yesterday. I had watched your video of the Champ and I had decided to get a smaller plane because My Carbon Cub S+ which flies amazing but is just too big to take off and land from anywhere near my house. I didn't get the champ because I wanted SAFE with the "Oh crap" button and BNF is only $10 more than the Champ so a no brainier. I can use the BXe Transmitter that came with my Carbon cub S+.

[@shawnblock7335]

@@mrkmh1 Nice, I have had a couple of the: Sport Cub S, and I had some bad luck with it. In Beginner Mode I was Flying, with No Wind even. So as I was Flying away from myself, and for the life of me, I just could Not get the Plane to Turnaround, and I couldn't even Lower my Altitude. Then the Plane had gotten to Far away, that I couldn't tell my Orientation, and when your Flying Towards yourself, the Controls are Backwards. So, just learning the Controls while Flying Towards Myself, was a Challenge in it's own. The Sport Cub S in SAFE MODE needs more Control Authority. I have Flown a lot of Airplanes with SAFE AND SAFE SELECT, and I never had the Problems that I had with the SPORT CUB S.

Take my advice - DON'T! See my comments above.

[@midwestrcadventures7193]

Funny story, my son and I were flying this after he got it for his birthday, and well I was at the controls and got a little crazy, as it was coming down fast, I pressed the self leveling panic button, it leveled so fast that the battery came loose from the Velcro and fell to the ground, the plan just glided down. We searched and searched for the battery, couldn't find it, right before we left though, my son walked out into the field and he was like "dad, I found the battery" ha ha. word of advice, make sure the battery is secure. Kind of wish the battery was inside a compartment, probably the only gripe about this plane, Very Fun and well worth the money. This was our first plane and it has been a blast.

This popped up as a recommended video and i wanted to say this was my first plane. It was recommended to be by a local hobby shop and I'm eternally thankful for it. I was able to learn to fly fixed wing without being scared I'd lose the plane or crash it into something and cause property damage. It was an easy transition from quads and helis and nice to be able to take off and land from my driveway and fly safely up and down my street and the cul-de-sac.

[@066motocross]

I just bought a carbon cub rtf from Horizon and although I haven't got a chance to fly it yet due to crappy pennsylvania weather, I'm ready. I joined a club, got an instructor, and joined AMA. I just need better weather. The reason I'm commenting is because I might order one of these to just go enjoy flying without driving out to the field. I think I can fly that in the parking lot of our football field. When there isn't a game of course lol. You guys have the most awesome videos on your products. I've learned more about what to expect from my cub than any reading I've done. Great videos!

[@raymondo162]

Soooooooo right about keeping the lingo in check !! or more to the point, explaining what the lingo means - especially with this being an entry-level plane. thumbs up

[@washburnb1]

Thanks! I bought one and think that it is a perfect trainer. It is so light that a "crash" has low impact. Tips: balance and trim carefully. They tend to be tail heavy. Launch and land into the wind. I got bush tires and strengthened landing gear. Don't add weight or heavy paint. The basic transmitter is darn good!

[@Timsfpvshow]

this little plane is near and dear to my heart because after not flying for over 10 years i got one about 3 years ago and it builds your confidence so fast. great little plane

[@TheRcSaylors]

It is an awesome plane!

[@clean1566]

I just bought this last month for my first R/C airplane. I've flown quads for a year and a half, and was watching a bunch of your videos, and it was actually one of the warbirds your were testing, I think it was the airacobra P39. It jogged some great memories I had building model airplanes, and frustrating ones of never getting that gas engine to start with the old r/c planes. I bought this, and it's such a confidence booster! Love the safe mode! I've crashed a bunch, and it's still going, although it's nose is starting to resemble a bulldog. Have just ordered a UMX Timber, because I want the brushless motor, and lights, and bush tires etc...But I don't regret getting the Sport Cub S, cause I got my wife to fly it, and maybe we can have those dogfights I was dreaming about as a kid!lol. Thanks, Saylors, for stirring up those old feelings!

[@53rdcards]

I love mine, but will say to anyone wanting one who is starting out, get the ready to fly version, i got the bind and fly one because i had a good transmitter already, know how to do the setup and all that, to bind this thing you have to open it up by cutting the tape all the way down its fuselage, plus setting all its various flight modes and safe switch can be a bit much for a beginner. Plus as a bonus, when you get more into the hobby and want to step up to BnF RC's you can always bind this to your transmitter later, but you have the one it game with as a backup. I'd recommend a jumper t16 as a radio, it can bind up to most brands, if you guys dont have one, you should get one, just get the + version that has the multi module inside it now instead of in the expansion bay. in fact it would be a great thing to show off when you do binding tutorials

[@jimhimesjr]

You shouldn’t have to cut the plane apart to bind it. If you just turn the plane on while sitting upright it will go into bind mode after about 5 seconds. Jumper T16 is a great radio but OPENTX takes a bit to learn. Spektrum radios are much simpler and the instructions are given for how to set up a Spektrum radio for this plane or any other a Horizon plane. Jumper T16 is a great bang for the buck and has come a long way in a short amount of time has 16 channels and the sky is the limit for what it can do. Anyone who doesn’t mind putting the work in go Jumper, if you want a simpler way go Spektrum. I own both.

[@arthursmith5252]

I have bound mine to 3 different radios. You do not have to cut it open to bind it. Read the instruction book.

[@Kylejeepadventures]

I love this plane, been flying mine for the last 4 years. upgraded the motor & tires for more bush flying. Added the FPV cam to chase other planes, & with the upgraded motor it can pull streamer 20+ ft long. My hobby shop sells it for $100. This & the Corsair are my favorite.

Excellent first plane. A lot of people are learning to fly on these.

[@johnlove3161]

Getting back into RC planes after a long absence and bought one. It is fun to fly and definitely tough. It's amazing how far they have come with the technology since I left the hobby. My only complaint with it is the quality of the velcro to attach the battery. Hit too hard and the battery would come out. Even came out during a hand launch, just hanging down. It was an easy fix though. I took 3M Command velcro strip cut it to size and replaced both the velcro in the plane and on the battery. Really enjoy your videos, as they have helped me choose planes to buy to get back in the hobby.

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

Plane is fantastic. My only recommendation would be to round off the sharp inside corner in the wing at the inboard side of each aileron. The sharp corner allowes the thin foam wing to crack starting at this corner over time from just flying. Just heat up a drill bit and melt through the corner to round it out, this will eliminate the stress that concentrates in the sharp corner and causes the tear. Sharp inside corners are a no no in aircraft sheetmetal for this exact reason. It's the reason that square windows were removed from commercial liners after the Comet (first commercial pressurized cabin jet liner) when the corners at the windows developed cracks and caused several in flight break ups. Every one of these Cubs we've been through (3 or 4) has developed these cracks fairly quickly.

[@GussCustomCreations]

This plane is awesome!! Flys well in very light winds. This is the 1st rc airplane I purchased.

[@MrJcoupe96]

Just came across this video....Since I was a kid (back in the 90's) I've always been fascinated with RC planes. There used to be a group of older guys (bout my current age, lol) that used to get together near my house on a vacant street and would fly their model airplanes every weekend together. As a kid, I thought that was the absolute coolest thing ever and would ride my bike over there, just to watch the planes fly. I never dared to ask my parents to buy me one because at least at that time, it was a very expensive hobby, even for beginners and I simply didn't trust myself to not wreck and practically throw away close to $600 of my parents money. Now as an adult, I've recently started thinking about getting into this and started doing some research and video watching. I had no clue how far the RC Airplane hobby had evolved and you can be all in, in a hobby like this for a measly $140. Needless to say, you guys have sold me on this beginner plane and I will finally be able to fulfill that childhood dream of mine, THANK YOU!! I do have a question, about how long will a single charge on that battery last? I think i may buy a few, just to be safe anyway, lol.

[@MrJcoupe96]

Chris L Thanks for the response, man! I’ve continued doing some research actually and have found a plane called the “Mini Apprentice S”. The RTF version goes for $250. While it’s $100 more than the cub, I think it’s a better suited beginner plane for me. It still has all the same features with the “SAFE”, different beginner modes, etc. but in a bigger framed airplane. The reason this matters to me is because I’d like more fly time with the plane to really enjoy it and having to wait for little to no wind would be tough where I live. The bigger frame (slightly heavier) and stronger brushless motor setup would give me more time in the air and the motor would last me longer as well, basically having the plane pay for itself. I’ve done some reading up on it and it seems like an excellent plane to start with and I’ve read that many teachers actually use that very plane to teach newcomers such as myself. So here’s to now being an adult 🍻 and having my own money to spend on a hobby that I feel I’m gonna enjoy the heck out of it!

The UMX line from the HobbyZone company absolutely keeps the new pilots planes in a mass to weight ratio that keeps the planes flying, which is the goal. Timber UMX with flaps or the PT-17 biplane would be great next steps, after that, a high or even midwing, 3-4 ft wingspan plane would be the following step, then a low wing. Great job on the videos.

For less than half the price, you could get an XK A800, which comes RtF, is 2S, is larger, has a direct drive motor, has horn servos instead of linear, and is made of much thicker, coarser EPP foam that can actually be glued back together after a crash. On top of all that, it has comparable gyro stabilization features, including an auto-level flight mode that can be used like SAFE if you ever need to get yourself out of trouble. Even at two-thirds the price of the Sport Cub, you could still get the A600 if you're specifically looking for something the same size as the Cub, but get 2S power, a brushless motor, and all the same gyro stabilization features as the other XK planes.

I get the ideal of "trimming" a plane via the radio but I need a simple simon video with controller in hand showing what to do with the radio to 'trim' a plane. At 6:00 roughly trimming is mentioned, but not shown on camera.

What was the wind MPH when the video was filmed? Can you make a video explaining how to fly a 4channel or have a video where half the screen is showing using the controller and the other half the plane flying? Grate video by the way.😁

I used to have the Champ, but I barely ever flew. I've been looking at getting back into the hobby after being away for like 6 years or something.
