That's what we call RC plans for dummy's like me..lol
That's another Nice item.
I lost my Aeroscout 1.1, but I got a carbon cub s 2 1.3 ,and I discovered a surprise. The D Switch will work for flaps ,cuz I got the RTF version the book says that you have to have a better radio but you don't, servo port #8 is a flaps control with servo in place.😆
thercsaylors would you recommend this for someone who has never flown? would the safe mode give me a fighting chance or should i still go the route of joining a club and having someone teach me to fly?
The GPS Module, also called SAFE Plus, will allow the aircraft to fly a holding pattern on its own, return home and land by itself. Initiated by holding the bind button down. See page 24 of the manual for details. Yes, I liked your video on this plane. C. Fulton
I bought an Aero Scout (because of this channel) and flew an RC plane for the first time in 25 years. I love AC3X and safe, if I had these back in the old days I would have never gotten out of the hobby! So yes, I think the new technology is wonderful and will make it much easier for newbies to start out and build confidence in those of us that need a little assist as we dust our wings off.
The little "do-hickeys" on the wings are called vortex generators. They cause the air over the top of the wing to swirl and draw back onto the wing surface. They give more aileron authority at slow speeds and reduce the stall speed. Keep up the good work! You are ambassadors for the hobby, and have integrity!
Abby: "but I walked away.." Thanks Nate for the awesome, honest real world flying review and assessment. That was great! And Abby, you are SO charming, nice, and a skilled camera person. Thank you much! Time to do some right handed turns tho Abby.. we're waiting not so patiently! :)
I bought my S2 Oct 15th 2020 and my Landing Assist Module arrived yesterday. It's a 3- 4 month wait for the LAS. I have waited to fly my plane until I had this part. I'm new to the hobby and bought the Carbon cub S2 as my first plane to ensure a successful maiden flight. Now we all know that things happen but thanks to RC sailors I'm feeling confident getting started in the hobby
At 61 years old I got this as my first airplane. From the first flight take off and landing went smoothly with no LAS. My only “oops” was that tall tree that was way closer than it appeared. I even enjoyed the repair experience.
That is really awesome Ralph! Sounds like you are experiencing the hobby the way it was meant to be enjoyed! Sorry to hear about that tree, but welcome to the "club" 😁 We've all had those pesky trees jump to life and grab our planes out of nowhere! Happy Flying 👍😎⚓
I have been watching your channel for about 8 months now. Based on everything you have said and shown, I asked for a Sport Cub S2 for my 50th bday. I bought a few extra batteries and have been loving it. This plane is what I want to get for my next one. Thank you for the fun, informative and relaxing videos!
Great review again. I really have been enjoying everything you have reviewed. Very honest, and you do a great job explaining things. Wish you much success in the future.
Yes, please do keep sharing features like this so all of us become aware of the advances happening in the hobby! Thanks!!
Awesome!! Thanks for the feedback Ken 😀👍⚓😎
I'd say it's good for the hobby. It's a lower threshold for beginners. I can say from personal experience, wrecking your first plane on the maiden flight is extremely discouraging. So anything that helps keep the plane from wrecking long enough to actually get experience with it is a good thing.
I’ve had all sorts of off road trucks and on road cars (drifting, trophy trucks, crawlers, and monster trucks) my whole life. This safe tech is makin me want to get into planes too now
19:30 Vortex Generators. Helps prevent airflow separation over the top of the airfoil allowing slower stall speeds and control during stalls.
The two videos you did on this plane are great! The Las seems to work very well! Pants on or off, just have fun!!
AWESOME beginner plane!! I would like to have the choice of whether or not to use landing assist. NOW, speaking as an OLD-TIMER, I can use ALL of the ASSIST I can get!! GREAT SHOW SAYLORS and thanks for the honest sharing!! 💟👍😘
Thank GOD for safe mode. I like flying after a few adult beverages and safe mode has saved me multiple times. I got my Aeroscout stuck in a huge tree last week and had to use a chainsaw to get my plane back.
I’m in the “I wouldn’t have gotten into the hobby if not for the technology.” camp. I love my Carbon Cub S2. Installed the optional flaps today hope to try them tomorrow. Might make a good video for your channel. :)
You two make a wonderful team: Intelligent, talkative, and capable! I am sure your audience loves your constant commentary. It is frustrating when a UA-camr just shows a plane flying. Thank you for your reviews. They have definitely increased my enjoyment of the hobby. I've been flying RC since about 1970 but your reviews have helped me with evaluating the benefit of the new technology and the amazing new foam airplanes. I bought the Carbon Cub S+ for my 6 year old grandson in Australia and he could handle the controls in beginner mode beside taking off and landing. I think an inexperienced person should use an experienced one to set up the plane. You must have put the landing gear fairing on upside down to tease the audience.
The airplanes recovery mode is for when the plane is upside down or like falling it will level the plane off
Good to see this. Ordered for my Habu a couple weeks ago. The LAS is on back order, but due sometime in November. You guys gave me a little insight on how it works. Thanks.
I believe it will work just as well on the Habu as it did on this plane 😀👍⚓😎
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Love you both
I just maiden mine with flaps installed. It's a nice gentle plane and both takeoffs and landings went well. Landing sensor appears to work great (I don't have one) but it's better to practise landings instead. Anyway thanks for sharing your as always entertaining videos.
Thank you that video helped a lot. The technology is the reason I am trying to get back into the hobby tried it years ago and just got frustrated but I think the technology will help me out a lot along with your videos. Thanks👍
Really glad to hear you are giving it another shot Rob 😀👍⚓😎
Really like your video on this plane, I've always been into cars and trucks which my wife has no interest in but she's showing a lot of interest in flying after watching some of your video's with me, so it looks like we're going to invest in one of these.
I have to say I learned how to fly a Cessna 152 when I was 13 years old and always wanted to become a pilot!!! You two are the reason my wife and I are building flitetest swappables. We are both brand new to the hobby and we are in Prince Edward Island Canada!! We love your videos and have been binge watching you guys and the flitetest channel... thank you so much , we are happy we found you on here just by chance. We are also huge Star Wars fans and my wife Lisa loves your shirt .. total inspiration for us to become pilots together!!
N.S canada and I love the flitetest planes also.
Born and raised NS Canada, living in NB.
An interesting video. One aircraft I own and fly the Echine Mustang and find the technology on that is a very useful too and has got me out of trouble several times.
It is a good beginner plane. I'm glad they have removed the GPS that the S+ version had. A wrong command to the GPS made me crash into a tree where the plane lived for three days. :D Now test the assist on water. :)
Awesome Nate like the plane and enjoying your videos and looking great in the air 👍😎❤️ awesome thanks for the great video 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎 video
I first tried my hand at model aircraft flying back when you had planes on two wires 50 years ago! It was disaster on the first flight! I now have this Carbon Cub and I bought ALL the options (LAS, GPS,etc.) I would have NOT been enticed to purchase it if had didn't have these options. I'm hoping my second attempt at model aircraft works better than my first! (I have managed to accumulate 10,000+ hours at the controls of real airplanes between my two model aircraft attempts!)
those fins on the top of the wing are called vortex generators in the air force
Great vid guys! I absolutely love your enthusiasm for the sport! Question: Will the LAS be easy to install on my brand new AreoScout 1.1 meter? I'm a complete newbie knowing next to nothing about electronics. Thank you once again for your much needed information...Happy Flying!
Great video. I want to start with this hobby and been looking on many different videos to learn all kind of things to find out what to get. A simulating program seems to be the best and first thing to get. But maybe an idea of what you goal you have with it is a good idea too. Have seen those videos with Ardupilot and other auto flight system where I want to get to and it seems to me that this air plane can be built further on with that in mind.
awesome plane and great flying guys
Thanks Island!!
Hey cool sounds like a winner for me I just need tons of practice 😮will be investing this unit 👍🏻🙈
That's some really cool technology! I'm going to teach my wife to fly RC and I think this is going to help her initially.
I have never flown an RC plane and would love to get one but I am scared to cos I don’t no what I am doing 😕. I am always watching RCsaylors on UA-cam. You are so honest on what to buy and not what to buy. Thanks for all your videos 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️
wow that Plane is awesome even I could fly it and I'm hopeless try as i might I've never enjoyed a flight yet but i really think even I could fly that plane thank you
When all else fails, read the manual p.23, 'press to release' :-) ...just messin' with 'ya ...have a great week, nice flight...
Now put the floats on and see if the landing assistant works on the water?
Awesome video guy's!
the carbon cub s+ is my first plane. Without technology probably i had never start fliyng. I've never used the GPS and strip it down after a pair of flight, but still use the intermediate SAFE technology, helps me alot in very windy conditions. Had a lot of crashes but still fliying very strong. I made a small modification to the front gear applying some elastic retainer to make it stiffer in hard landings
I'm old and I like the new technology It makes it easier for people to get into the hobby and a lot less expensive for newcomers. I don't fly with it but I think it's a great progression for the hobby, it also makes the hobby more attractive to people that are interested in getting started.
That is so cool!
So cool where this hobby is headed
This is gonna bring so many more people into a great hobby!
That’s good and a little scary. Not everyone can be trusted to fly responsibly...
@@bleckybob but they learn
Morning Nate & Amy, I just got my CC S2, on the first power up of the Tx and plane, the elevator went to full down, the rudder went to full right and the ailerons went to full left roll,,,,,,,, the front LED started flashing red & blue,,,,,,,, the Tx wouldn't control anything, I looked in the owners manual, no mention of the front LED pattern other than flight mode colors, went online and found nothing,,,,,,,,
I had nothing to go by and nothing to lose so I tried rebinding I did that and all's well now, these are supposed to be bound at the factory,
Still looking forward to first flight, kinda waiting for the other two module's to show up, thought they came with the PNP kit, you should mention some of this about the kit in your unboxing and assembly video, also mention that if you follow the instructions rather than trying to guess how it goes together the project will go along better.
Did you do an unboxing and assembly review?
"And you can instantly return to steady flight using Panic Recovery with the push of a button in any flight mode." That is in the descrpition on the HobbyZone page for the Carbon Cub S2. "Panic Recovery mode at the push of a button to prevent loss of control and crashes" is on the Horizon Hobby page for this plane. The PDF manual says "Button I operates PANIC mode when pressed" on page 7 but you have to assign AUX1 to button I. Later on it says "At any time release both sticks to activate panic recovery mode for self-leveling."
As a total noob, I got this plane partially because of the "training wheels" / Safe mode (I don't have landing assist though). For me, it reduces the chance of spending a lot of $$ (to me), then breaking it before enjoying it. I only have a few flights, but love it. Landing w/o landing assist has been easy, even for a noob like me.
Yeah, I found it interesting to watch a video dedicated to one feature.
I have a carbon cub s+ and the wheel pants would pop off. Ended up drilling a few holes in them and fastening them with zip ties. They stay on well now.
The Cub is great for the disabled, as I am. The panic button use to be the bind button. A Nam vet
It looks like the wheel pants are on upside down, unless you like bell bottoms.
Ha! I noticed that too
Ha ha is that flying with your pans off or pants? Lol. Great video, and always a fun session! Love you guys, cheers. :)
I have the Carbon that came with the DXS tx and worked ok until I restored factory settings by mistake. Now I can bind it byt the ESC doesn't seem to work. It may only work in beginner, or it will run at full throttle regardless of the throttle lever, I can only cut it using the D switch.
This is so cool!
The technology in this thing is amazing 😀👍⚓😎
Very cool👍✌
Wow it lands by it self
Looking at ad for this, it says it does have a panic button, it is shared with the bind button. I'd like to know how it works as well.
I just ordered this from your link. First RC plane. No experience, hope I made a good choice. ✊🏽
Great first RC plane with no experience! You got this 👍 And thanks for the support 😎⚓
Hi Nate and Abby
I had the first version of this with GPS and it worked great, virtual fence, auto land etc. But one day while flying nicely it just turned and went straight ahead across the river never to be seen again. It is somewhere in the Palm Oil Plantation here in Malaysia... HH did stand behind it and sold me a new one for 1/2 price.
Inspirational.
I’m buying this plane now ; because of you ❤
Happy Flying!! 👍💯😎⚓️
Carl Fulton.
Appreciate your posts. They’re accurate info.
I have a question on CC S2. I have GPS, LAS & Flap upgrades. Have 3 positions working on the Flaps, Not sure LSI is working. Plugged into Channel 7 on Flight Controller. And it is facing the right direction. The light on the windscreen seems wrong. It flashes green and red (not purple). Is this an error in setup? Any idea what is the correct install? If flap setup is of interest I’ll share what I did. It is not obvious and HS instructions are pathetic. At least to a novice.
Great video and info. If you install the optional GPS, does that override the need for the landing assist? Next, have you ever heard of anyone who bought the 2-warranty and had to use it? Tnx, Rich
I have the first version with GPS. It had a bad flight controller in it and was a total nightmare at first. HH sent a replacement controller, and it hasn’t had a single issue since! Great plane with or without the GPS! You should ALWAYS just go ahead and fly the Cub with your pants OFF!!! T-shirt?
Land assist is an option on the Habu STS.
(vortex generators)
How bout the virtual fence, autoland, and circling home? That’s what newbies like me want to see.
Like you I need this information and video! I have been scouring UA-cam for someone to demonstrate how the heck the GPS and airfield fence work, BUT no such luck? Very frrustrating.
I have got to quit watching this channel. I am so close to pulling a trigger on something like this one. It looks like a great first plane for me. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
My suggestion is to purchase the Carbon Cub 2 with gps and landing assist first. Then the Habu BNF. You can bind it to the same transmitter and if you want, swap the landing Assist over.
Great video!! Can you do a video on setting up the gps system and compass calibration??
We actually do that with every step in our S+ main video 😉👍😎⚓
The elevator down issue is because you need to set it up with the plane level, not sitting on the landing wheels. Otherwise it will have no down elevator except for advanced mode/only as3x mode. That way the flight controller is set at its regular level flight, as opposed to a tail dragger that has the motor pointing to the sky when sitting on a table.
You put a pile of books under the rear wheels to level it and then Bind it and do all that stuff again..
Enjoyed the video on the RC Cub. Keep making them. Did you make a video of the other features of the plane such as return to take off area and the "invisible fence" feature ? (Again, I might be getting the Carbon Cub mixed up with Aeroscout )Thinking about getting into the hobby with my grandson. Have you flown the Aeroscout and how does it compare to a beginner RC plane vs. the Carbon Cub ?
Thanks,
Scott
PS Liked the shout out to the Big Guy Upstairs !
lol I forgot this was a thing for these planes I need to get one!
Love your videos. Could do a review on the XHobby voltanex. Sport Cub 500 . RTF is $104.99. Keep ice videos comming
Does anyone know if you can use the Las on other planes or is it only recommend for the 3 planes. Can you install it on let's say a EDF f18, or a6.
I have the S+ and love it. I fly with the GPS turned off as it takes forever to figure out where it is so I can fly. I also like the beginner mode as if you let go of the sticks, the plane goes level and flys on (no crash). So, if I am in mode 2 or 3 and have a problem, I just click it to mode 1 and the plane saves itself. I never could get the auto landing function to work - may be a GPS or compass problem. Still afraid to try loops or rolls but will someday. Nice first plane though. I get 6 minutes of flight time on a battery.
Hey that’s awesome Jim! Glad you like your S+! Yeah the GPS does take more time to set up than without, so we understand wanting to just get up in the air to fly quicker! That’s why we like electric over gas and glow! Happy Flying Jim! 👍😀⚓️
:-) wow, never thought I would see auto landing in my life. Great job you guys.
:-) Thank you!! :-)
That seems like a nice airplane. If someone asked me which fixed-wing RC plane they should start with, I'd tell them to get the Sport Cub S from Hobbyzone. I have nearly 20 airplanes, but I have to say that little thing helped me learn how to do stuff. I'm still working on it, and I still love that little dude. I'm not very good at it even now, but I enjoy flying the Sport Cub S. I can even get it around my back yard under the canopy of oaks. :)
Great technology
Would you recommend to install the flaps before installing the LAS? What range of batteries have to tested in this plane?
Question can you use this Landing assistance sensor in other planes other than what spectrum lists
I have an E-flite Timber in a fly zone beaver could it be used in those obviously I would have to make a cut out to install it but I'm using a ar636a receiver in those planes six channel would it work
I tried the LAS on my Apprentice S and it kinda freaked me out on the first landing. Tried a few more times and ended up taking it out. Keeping it just in case I need it for another plane.
No one seems to do a video (not even Horizon) on setting the virtual fence! Can you do a detailed video on a total set up even going through the compass calibration?
Panic mode is the bind button. Only works in expert mode. Rights the plane and gives you time to switch back to beginner.
I started the RC hobby last December and now have 2 RC vehicles. Redcat Everest 10 (Crawler) Losi Rock Rey (Rock Racer). Now I would like to try airplanes. I like everything I'm seeing about the Carbon Cub S2 so this may be my first RC plane. What is the largest battery that will fit?
This plane will do some really nice snap rolls too!
How is the DXS transmitter? Can you bind it with most other BNF aircraft? Is it a true 7-channel radio?
Bought this little jewel a couple months ago. Probably 35 to 40 flights in to it now. Ripped all the ''technology'' out of it as soon as I got it home. Not real happy in high winds but flies beautifully overall.
I am looking to buy my 1st plane soon but I don't have a huge budget for RC so I will only be able to buy 1 for the next few years probably. Looking for recommendations so far between Carbon Cub S2 and E-Flite Valiant.
The panic recovery is simple flipping the top left toggle (flight modes) to beginner and the plane recovers. This obviously only works when you are in intermediate or advanced mode to start with. I've used that action several times to save myself from crashing while practicing in intermediate mode flight. And the landing gear skirts issue, I used 2 extra small clear zip ties after drilling small wholes in the skirt and securing to the wire gear. (Learned that from another experienced RC U-tuber online).
I dug a little and realized there is an additional "recovery" that will "auto land" the plane if it loses signal. It basically spirals down to the ground till it hits the ground. Better than just flying away! Thats what I was trying to get it to do in this video.
Hello friend, how much range does the dxs radio have with the receiver?
do you recommend the gps module? have you ever lost the radio signal with the stock transmitter? I would only install the module in case of signal loss
Any idea why I'm not getting the (green dot) telemetry using the exact same controller, from the Aeroscout 2 1.1m kit? They do flash on for a sec when I initially fire up the transmitter. But then nothing from there forward. Thanks in advance if you have any ideas or input! 💯
Ok I am a micro copter guy, got some large stuff but do have preference for WL toys V911 size, xeidas 9958, E119,E129 As far as tech in the hobby goes I have been in last 6 years or so, it has leaps and bounds from 2013 I like it, however for the new pilots it is awesome.
While watching this video I realized that you guys put the wheel pants on backwards, I thought that was really funny
Good evening, can you confirm that the carbon cub s2 rtf with flight controller 3230A, spm 4650c receiver and DXS radio are compatible with the LAS landing assistance module and gps. Thank you all.
I just placed my order for this plane last night. I ordered both the gps and las. I was wondering if both will work in tandem or is it one or the other with the rtf version? Both modules are on back order so i will get the plane first then the modules but i also am wondering if i get flaps will i have to upgrade to a different transmitter then the one it comes with? Thanks to whoever might be able to answer these questions
Guys, enjoy your videos, sorry had ordered the plane before seeing your link. Curious to see if you have a source for the landing sensor, seems world wide back order. Found one source that allows backorder purchase, H.H. but wouldn't mind having another. Good videos.
Great video as always guys. But you're (pants) landing gear trim is upside down, lol.
Also, vortex generators are cool!
We actually prefer the Bell Bottom look 😉🤣😂⚓😎
Excellent 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Is it just me or are your wheel pants upside down if so have done that to prevent damage to the fuselage?
I have been enjoying rc scale model wooden boats for awhile but I have always wanted an airplane. I've never flown an rc plane, so I have been looking at trainers. I think I've found my first plane.
i just bought this plane today, from horizon hobbies, total was $370 , can’t wait and i hope it’s worth it:) my first plane too
Great vid and you're a great couple
Thank you Lisa 👍😁😎⚓
You have to install the optional GPS module to get Failsafe, Geofence, Holding Pattern, and Returnto homewith automatic landing.
will other brand batteries (not spektrum) still indicate telemetry battery status with this cub plane and DXS radio?
