Hi RC Sailors, thanks for the videos on the Carbon Cub s+RTF. I bought the Carbon Cub a couple of weeks ago to have a go at flying rc planes. I took it down to the local park followed all the instructions and put it up in the air. What an amazing plane i left it in begginer mode and had a blast, i have flown it a couple of dozen times now and advanced out of noob mode and havent crashed at all. I would highly recomend this plane to any begginer to learn by them selves.
RcSaylors - Nate and Abby, thank you oh so much for your professionalism and down right enthusiasm of producing informative videos for the RC community. I became immersed in the RC hobby in the mid 1970's flying an unknown glow fuel airframe with an Orbit 4CH analog on Green and White - 75.640 Mhz, at an RC airfield in Southern California, known as Mile Square Park. Some time later I met a friend of my brother, Larry Jolly, who flew RC Gliders / Sailplanes & Helicopters. I'd pester Larry to allow me to tow his gliders aloft at Irvine Jr High, by peddling my bicycle as fast as I physically could towing a 100' line. Good times, great memories. Through the exposure of the RC community, I joined the US Navy and flew as crew in Lockheed P-3 Orion's & Bell HH-1K Helicopters. I had the aviation bug coursing through my veins. Years ago, I traded that Orbit TX/RX, along with a Honda ATC 90 and misc firearms for a Baja Bug. Thus began my 30 year venture into aircooled Volkswagens. Fast forward to the present, I'm back and eager to return to the RC world. My how times have changed. I still have two sets of analog Futaba 2 & 4CH TX/RX's on Red/White and a Gentle Lady balsa wood glider. However, your video of the HobbyZone Carbon Cub S+ has inspired me to seriously consider this platform for my return to the RC community. I have a 16 year old son who just earned the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. In addition, he is the Boatswain (senior youth leader) of his Sea Scout Ship. Through the RC community, I will attempt to introduce him to the fundamentals of flight. He has mentioned joining the US Coast Guard. If so, I will encourage him to seek a commission and pilot rescue helicopters. Semper Paratus is the Ethos of the USCG, and is a Latin phrase, meaning "Always ready". I look forward to your future production of videos and evaluations of FPV and Fixed Wing with flight stabilization and OSD. Tell then, Fair Winds and Following Seas.
Thumbs Up for Abby. Already Subscribed. I used to fly RC until I crashed my last plane and that was it. Many years ago and long before auto stabilization and foam wonders and GPS and Smart Batteries. Abby you have a great personal instructor lots of great plains ready to go. You're young and know all the basics. Just practice and listen to Nate. Keep flying and making videos. You guys have a great channel.
Nice job guys! That plane is fun, and great flying :) First time I flew one, it scared me to death when I hit the fence. We set it up in the parking lot, then walked up to the flight area, but didn't realize we had already logged out "home" position, so we hit the fence prematurely! Only issue I had with this plane was the highly irregular setup, that DID work, but was probably the most frustrating thing I've done for a while...otherwise it's awesome! Good flying Abby!
It just happens to have extremely good range to answer your first question, and to answer your second yes, if it loses connection it will return to home and auto land. 👍⚓😎
We've purchased a couple of drones based on your reviews, and my kids have been very excited to fly whenever they can. This model looks like a great way to get them hooked on rc planes as well, and allow them to develop their piloting skills. Thank you guys for always bringing honest reviews to us, and reviewing RCs designed for the experienced and beginners alike!
this is an older review but I wanted to say you guys have taught me so much. I am joining a club and ready to move from quads to fixed wing. This looks like it will be a perfect fit for my first plane.
Abby makes it look easy to fly. good job! Bucket list for the Saylors, go for a ride in a full sized J-3, you will know the true meaning of fun and slow flying, tube and rag, wood and cables, a nice Franklen air cooled 4 cylinder up front, you will love it, she only holds 2, so the pilot can take up 1 at a time, find a local apt and see if you can catch a ride in one, they are that fun...
I love your passion and you having fun together, You both are a great couple, my wife and I watch you guys , you are inspiration to married life. Congrats on the Baby!
This beautiful couple are very very good at demonstrating RC models And I love their reviews on many RC models these people are great people I would love to have them as friends my friend said he think theyre from Iowa but I'm not sure if they were I would love to meet him in person and watch them fly models especially F-16 Thunderbird in the Blue Angel those are awesome planes I love those videos
Abby, I have the same opinion on elevator trim as you. I always set it up so it's trimmed to glide hands off, and then add forward stick pressure as needed to eliminate the looping tendency when you add power. Then again I spend most of my flights with the throttle in the off position, so there's that. ;)
Nice video. Don't chicken out Abby. I've noticed a bunch of aircraft from Hobby Zone with spoilers on the wing. They probably really help to prevent snapping and it looks like something to add to other planes. It might be a three D project for me.
Oh also that little blueberry is getting profound!!! That's awesome guys. I have a five month old as you can see in my profile pic! Ur gonna love having a kid
I really think this plane is the best beginner plane out there as of year 2021. This plane is larger than the current front runner beginner model so it flies better in the wind versus that current contender that seems to weigh a little more than a wristwatch. And once your confidence builds, you have a plane that can do all the neat stuff because it is larger, heavier, and flies like it has a sense of purpose. This is, of course, my personal opinion and we all know about opinions.
Just watched this video of Aby's review of the carbon cub and I probably have the same low confidence when it comes to flying rc planes because I've owned 2 cub sport s's , I've crashed one and reglued it multiple times and the second one I lost in the wind never to be seen again! Aby makes this Carbon Cub look fun and easy to fly and you've inspired me to order one for myself, thanks! BTW, love your channel guys. You two have great chemistry and you guys make a great couple! Keep making great RC videos!
Been flying mine for about a year, RunCam goes with it sometimes. And, while I do have many other models I fly regularly- this one is special. Only used the Autoland a few times just to see it work and give the spectators a thrill.
This is always the highlight of my day. It looks great in the air. In beginner mode, it moves slow enough to be mistaken for a full scale one. The added bonus of its capabilities in the other modes, I think it’s a bargain. It’s also nice to see how well you’re coming along, Abby. Just as a heads up, you seem to shine a bit brighter when you’re out of your comfort zone. Nathan is correct, you can do it. Good on him for encouraging you! Great loop!
Good of rule of thumb for beginners, no matter what their flying, is to fly two mistakes high that way if they make a mistake or panic they have time to recover. Great flying Abby, you need to start flying more, not that many months from now you'll be too busy to be doing anything R.C.. LOL *Dance the Skies*
Hi Guys, thank you so much for this video it has given me the confidence to go out and fly mine, my friend bought it for his grandkids and they did not want to play with it they were more interested in their video games so he gave it to me for free and it is an RTF model complete with radio control Yahoooooo. Cant wait to fly it. Manuel
Hey man how are you? Do you casually know what happens if a new cub s+ keep moving the elevator and won't find gps signal or satellites? Brand new, starting to do calibrations but it won't let me start. Maybe because where i'm at, some trees and not too open.. Appreciate some advice, thanks. 🤟🏻
Our flying club is on the North end of Utah Lake. In our region we have some bush pilots called the Flying Cowboys. I think Cory Robin came up with the name. Corey has the real Carbon Cub which he flies on his UA-cam channel. You are flying one today! Twin brothers Mike and Mark Patey in Spanish Fork build all manner of aircraft with incredible performance and engineering. Draco, Mike's prize aircraft was destroyed in a freak takeoff accident, no one hurt. Scrappy is his latest build project made from recycled aircraft parts around a Cub airframe all heavily modified to the extreme. Draco was a 3600lb aircraft that could get airborne in 106ft and land in 102ft. Scrappy is going to perform better than that. And let's not forget Trent Palmer, a professional drone pilot who flies a modified Kit Fox called the Freedom Fox. Flite Test collaborated with Trent to model the Freedom Fox and give it flight characteristics that make the RC model fly just like Trent's aircraft. I can hardly wait for your review of that plane.
Really good flight, Abbey. The Geo Fence feature is pretty cool. My favorite trainer and almost sport plane is the E-flite Apprentice S. The new STS variant has both the GPS and now a ground sensing camera to make landing super smooth. Technology in these planes is amazing.
Carve a bit of space out where the window is, put an AIO FPV camera in there, one that has the artificial horizen & other flight specs, cover it with a bit of clear plastic...and you can have an awesome FPV aircraft!! May have to see about getting it next month....
If I had a place to fly a plane this would definitely be on my want list. Not only because it is beginner friendly, but also because it looks realistic. I've seen a lot of planes that fly well, but don't really look like a real airplane. With R/C trucks I consider myself a "scaler"; I want my trucks to look realistic, and I try to drive them in a realistic way. If I were to get an R/C plane I would be the same way, I would want it to look and fly realistic. This one does that.
The Cub can be a difficult radio setup on model HBZ3200 with LSI, Flaps, and GPS installed. 3 months and yet to fly. Yours must be the HBZ3250 ready to fly. Your explanations are great. Try a video on radio setup for this plane. I watch you all the time.
Not about the video but about the plane! I was wondering if you may know what my problem with my plane. I have the carbon s+ with the Dx6e. I charge up my Lipo 2200 smart battery, go to take off and the motor starts to pulse.
Great flight! ABBY! I would feel the same way. But it is nice to have someone like Nate to push you a little too get you to progress. But always stay at the edge of your comfort zone.
Great flying Abby! For me I began really loving planes when I realized there wasn't crash that could happen (with foamies) that I couldn't make a functional repair for in 10 minutes. Give me a couple hours and you'll never know it happened. So hone in some repair skills and let her rip.
Hey guys thanks for the videos, I wanted to get into this hobby.and I watched several of your videos. And in July of this year bought this exact plane. Flying in mins landings not so good but tight take off and landing spaces. I broke a prop in the air , cut throttle and glided for 3 mins and circled down in beginner mode to a half safe landing .but plane is very.tough about 40 flights now one three landing from a big gust of wind one fence post hit,and several bounces and plane still great shape. But glad to see real people flying this plane already gearing up for next plane but love flying this one did my first loop was not as smooth as hers but I'll take it . Keep the great videos coming. DANNY H. MISSOURI USA
I believe they actually call it "virtual fence" BUT the brain wants to think Geo, mine did when I couldn't think of the word virtual. Why that is if love to know lol you guys rock! Love the vids keep em comin!
Great video! I actually liked this one better than the first - more of the Cub in its natural habitat, lazily cruising around. Looks good! That nose-over landing was nothing to worry about. When FliteTest reviewed the Cub’s predecessor, the Sportsman S+, they had their own oopsie moment where they found out auto-landing after a hand launch wasn’t the best of ideas. Fortunately, no harm done when it “landed” a little high and gravity took over. 😬
Nice video. I really like the plane. I am quite a beginner in RC planes. I am flying a XK520 VTOL plane to practice and it is a lot fun. I was wondering if you would recommend this plane as my next plane and if I should get it with flaps or without flaps? Thanks again.
Can you guys do a detailed explanation on how to calibrate and setup GPS system? How to calibrate, how to set geo fence. How to activate holding pattern & auto land and especially how to deactivate in flight.
I have this plane but I have a problem that it's always fine by itself how do you turn off GPS or is it simply a function of getting out of the beginner mode in at into expert mode how do you do this?

Yeah I'm really happy I have the RTF version. I'm sure it'd be difficult to set up, but kudos to you for getting it :-) Happy Flying my friend!
Thanks guys - Keep up the good work, and good luck with the baby!
Why doesn't it loose range when your that far away and if you loose radio connection will it come back to home?? Please answer
It just happens to have extremely good range to answer your first question, and to answer your second yes, if it loses connection it will return to home and auto land. 👍⚓😎
Did you catch our response? Just want to make sure since you asked specifically for an answer but we didnt hear back from you.

I think your channel might have been the one thing that got me into R/C, thank you Nate and Abby for getting me into this, you're the best!
Thanks Ab! I’m rewatching this ‘cause mines supposed to be delivered tomorrow!!!
My favorite feature: the geofence! I like how if you make a mistake you can switch to beginner mode and let the plane recover! 7:36 beautiful loop!
Bryan BryanT are you related or their friend because I see you on every video almost
"are you related or their friend" No, just a fan! Of course, there is a friendship between TheRCSaylors and the community in this channel!
Alright
Congratulations on the baby bump 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You're going to have to change that opening now. You're gonna have to add the baby to it! Abby is glowing in this video. Congrats again you two.
Thumbs up for Abby! And a nice beginner RC plane video.
Abby makes it look easy to fly. good job! Bucket list for the Saylors, go for a ride in a full sized J-3, you will know the true meaning of fun and slow flying, tube and rag, wood and cables, a nice Franklen air cooled 4 cylinder up front, you will love it, she only holds 2, so the pilot can take up 1 at a time, find a local apt and see if you can catch a ride in one, they are that fun...
Abbey, we love y'all.....you got this girl.
Thank you Abby flying you're great and Nat does very good too. Wish you the best !
Loved the video and enjoyed seeing the auto land and the fence feature. I plan/have planned buying this plane very shortly. Thanks again, Rich
Absolutely! Please consider ordering yours using our link, as it really helps out our channel and family. Thank you! 👍😁😎⚓️
Probably one of the best beginner plane video I have seen.
I love your passion and you having fun together, You both are a great couple, my wife and I watch you guys , you are inspiration to married life. Congrats on the Baby!
That you so much for posting that. I love the beginner setting. It's a lovely looking and big plane, so can be seen and a delight to look at.
The cub has always been one of my favorite airplanes. Especially with huge tires on it. Looks great.
I'm a huge fan as well, and the technology in this version is just amazing :-)
This beautiful couple are very very good at demonstrating RC models
And I love their reviews on many RC models these people are great people I would love to have them as friends my friend said he think theyre from Iowa but I'm not sure if they were I would love to meet him in person and watch them fly models especially F-16 Thunderbird in the Blue Angel those are awesome planes I love those videos

I have a Carbon Cub S+ BNF its a very nice plane to fly even after you know what you"re doing!!!. Love It!!!
Very impressed with this plane! Abby, you are looking very Hollywood in those shades!!! Love you guys, keep up the fun "work"!!!
Oh also that little blueberry is getting profound!!! That's awesome guys. I have a five month old as you can see in my profile pic! Ur gonna love having a kid
I really need to get one of these. Not only Is it a great flying plane , but it is a beautiful looking plane also.
I really think this plane is the best beginner plane out there as of year 2021.

Been flying mine for about a year, RunCam goes with it sometimes. And, while I do have many other models I fly regularly- this one is special. Only used the Autoland a few times just to see it work and give the spectators a thrill.
Very cool and stable plane..loved it
Very cool conference Abby talking and flying at same time very cool
This is always the highlight of my day.
It looks great in the air. In beginner mode, it moves slow enough to be mistaken for a full scale one. The added bonus of its capabilities in the other modes, I think it’s a bargain.
It’s also nice to see how well you’re coming along, Abby. Just as a heads up, you seem to shine a bit brighter when you’re out of your comfort zone. Nathan is correct, you can do it. Good on him for encouraging you! Great loop!
Way to go Abby - Way to Go - (Clap Clap) -- Great job!!
Good job Abby. You did a good job flying. As they say any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
Do a roll do a roll!!!!!! Get that confidence up Abby!!!!!!
Hi Nate. I fly mine on 4s.. really really cant say how much better it is. I put 4 4s batteries through it yday. No issues. It really wakes it up! ;)
Awesome job and looks super fun
Awesome Cub and flying !
Great job Abbey!
That little guy is awesome!
:-)
fun video! I like it when abby does the piloting !
Good job Abby. That loop was pretty smooth
It's nice to see more helis and planes been featured :)
Good of rule of thumb for beginners, no matter what their flying, is to fly two mistakes high that way if they make a mistake or panic they have time to recover.
Great flying Abby, you need to start flying more, not that many months from now you'll be too busy to be doing anything R.C.. LOL
*Dance the Skies*
We totally agree about flying two mistakes high, but never plan on stopping RC :-)
This plane looks so cool
Hi Guys, thank you so much for this video it has given me the confidence to go out and fly mine, my friend bought it for his grandkids and they did not want to play with it they were more interested in their video games so he gave it to me for free and it is an RTF model complete with radio control Yahoooooo. Cant wait to fly it.
Manuel
WOW!! You got yourself an Amazing gift! Happy Flying!
Great Flying Skills!!!Happy Flying!!!
Thanks Mike :-)
Hey man how are you? Do you casually know what happens if a new cub s+ keep moving the elevator and won't find gps signal or satellites? Brand new, starting to do calibrations but it won't let me start. Maybe because where i'm at, some trees and not too open.. Appreciate some advice, thanks. 🤟🏻
Awesome job, Abby! Keep flying!
Thank you!
So as a newbie pilot why isnt this technology used more in larger rc aircraft? Lets say for instance could I add this to my Dcraco if I wanted?
The plane flew close to the building last time? The plane almost crashed on the side of the building and Nate saved it like Hollywood style. EPIC !!!
Nice plane . Just love it. 👍

Trying to decide between the carbon cub or the apprentice for my first beginners plane and teaching myself to fly, any opinions ?
If i buy rtr version with the gps module do i have a activate it or can i just fly normally?
What's your thought on a 3 pleaded prop. And witch one?
Can you change out the wheels on this plane if you don't want the big baloon tires?
Wow Abby you are good with these things!
Great flying abby
Thumbs up for the loop, great job.
Hey rc sailors,
I need help!!!!!!!
Whats the best beginner plane? Carbon Cub s+ RTF or the aeroscout s
Hi i bought the carbon cub RTF a couple of weeks ago, ive never flown before and this plane is so easy to fly i would highly recomend it.
This or Aeroscout? Thanks
Nice loop Abby. I knew you could just like I know you could do a great roll. The technology is just getting better and better
Do you consider this the best first plane for a beginner ? Regardless of price and or size ?
I bought this airplane because of you're reviews for my grandson, he's gonna love it
Carve a bit of space out where the window is, put an AIO FPV camera in there, one that has the artificial horizen & other flight specs, cover it with a bit of clear plastic...and you can have an awesome FPV aircraft!!
May have to see about getting it next month....
If I had a place to fly a plane this would definitely be on my want list. Not only because it is beginner friendly, but also because it looks realistic. I've seen a lot of planes that fly well, but don't really look like a real airplane. With R/C trucks I consider myself a "scaler"; I want my trucks to look realistic, and I try to drive them in a realistic way. If I were to get an R/C plane I would be the same way, I would want it to look and fly realistic. This one does that.
Way to go Abby you got this.👍👊😎
Does it come with the fake N number decal applied? I'd rather paint on the FAA registration number I'd get for it on it in those spots.
The Cub can be a difficult radio setup on model HBZ3200 with LSI, Flaps, and GPS installed. 3 months and yet to fly. Yours must be the HBZ3250 ready to fly. Your explanations are great. Try a video on radio setup for this plane. I watch you all the time.
Not about the video but about the plane! I was wondering if you may know what my problem with my plane. I have the carbon s+ with the Dx6e. I charge up my Lipo 2200 smart battery, go to take off and the motor starts to pulse.
Way to go Abby. Woo hoo.
Great flight! ABBY! I would feel the same way. But it is nice to have someone like Nate to push you a little too get you to progress. But always stay at the edge of your comfort zone.
It’s good to be challenged. Although I felt Nate was too pushy.
Beautiful flight!!! Cheers guys
Great flying Abby! For me I began really loving planes when I realized there wasn't crash that could happen (with foamies) that I couldn't make a functional repair for in 10 minutes. Give me a couple hours and you'll never know it happened. So hone in some repair skills and let her rip.
Definitely hit that thumbs up for the loop :) Nice job, Abby! It's always fun to watch you fly these things. Keep up the good work!
Hey guys thanks for the videos, I wanted to get into this hobby.and I watched several of your videos. And in July of this year bought this exact plane. Flying in mins landings not so good but tight take off and landing spaces. I broke a prop in the air , cut throttle and glided for 3 mins and circled down in beginner mode to a half safe landing .but plane is very.tough about 40 flights now one three landing from a big gust of wind one fence post hit,and several bounces and plane still great shape. But glad to see real people flying this plane already gearing up for next plane but love flying this one did my first loop was not as smooth as hers but I'll take it . Keep the great videos coming.

Nice job Abby!
Excellent flying Abby!! I know if I did a flip, I would crash it. Excellent video!!
Thumbs up Abby!! Nate you make a good coach.
Great plane guys!
Is there a glider with the beginner-intermediate-advanced modes, return feature, and auto-land?
I believe they actually call it "virtual fence" BUT the brain wants to think Geo, mine did when I couldn't think of the word virtual. Why that is if love to know lol you guys rock! Love the vids keep em comin!
perfect loop and both of you are adorable couple👍
Great video! I actually liked this one better than the first - more of the Cub in its natural habitat, lazily cruising around. Looks good!
That nose-over landing was nothing to worry about. When FliteTest reviewed the Cub’s predecessor, the Sportsman S+, they had their own oopsie moment where they found out auto-landing after a hand launch wasn’t the best of ideas. Fortunately, no harm done when it “landed” a little high and gravity took over. 😬
Nice baby bump. Waiting on the latest arrivals myself, grandkid 8&9...
that's cool. I like that plane
Wow looks a very cool plane abby
Nice video. I really like the plane. I am quite a beginner in RC planes. I am flying a XK520 VTOL plane to practice and it is a lot fun. I was wondering if you would recommend this plane as my next plane and if I should get it with flaps or without flaps? Thanks again.
I hit the bell because of your loop!
Wow nice take off
The take off was smooth 👏
Great video!
Thank you! 👍😁😎⚓️
Can you guys do a detailed explanation on how to calibrate and setup GPS system? How to calibrate, how to set geo fence. How to activate holding pattern & auto land and especially how to deactivate in flight.
Another amazing vid
I have this plane but I have a problem that it's always fine by itself how do you turn off GPS or is it simply a function of getting out of the beginner mode in at into expert mode how do you do this?
The included istructions take you step by step, very well if I might add, as to how to turn off the GPS function. Looks pretty easy :-)
