All @ 38:40 I accidentally said, "generally the further out the more change (movement) you're going to get from the same amount of output on your servos" - I said this part backward. What I meant to say was ..."the FURTHER IN, the more the movement will be"... My apologies for any confusion this may have caused anyone.
That's no problem Brian I knew what you was trying to say no problem you have really helped me a great deal because I love flying those RC airplanes
I bought the same some weeks ago as a first plane. Very simple to get started!! It can fly incredibly slow in safe mode. I am now running in advanced when I fly but I prefer safe when landing or when going really slow. When I go out I have 4 220mah batteries and I get 1 almost an hour of flying. I suggest putting the battery as far forward as possible. As a beginner it took maybe 8 batteries to begin feel somewhat ok with advanced mode. I have flown about 20 batteries now and still have to panic into safe sometimes 😀 this plane teach me to fly without a simulator and without costing lots of cash in repairs, yet, thanks to safe :)
You sound like me when I started. Do you lust for flying when you see a flag hanging down to the ground? That was me. I'd be driving and watching the flag still in the atmosphere and I'd be dying to get home to fly!!!
So glad my planes can handle more wind now-a-days; but what a way to learn!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Instead of a flag, I look for still limbs hanging down from the birch tree!
This was my first airplane also, (not counting the Cox Stuka gas lanyard plane I got as an 11 year old, which I never flew) and it has taught me a lot. I moved up to a UMX Timber to fly in windier conditions. Both great models! I'm going to let my grandson try the Sport Cub S for his first flight. As far as those who wish they were brushless, I don't think it would fly as slow, and that's the beauty of this model. You don't want speed when you're learning. Keep up the great content!
I TOTALLY agree!!!! I thought the V2 was gonna be brushless...but was bummed it was brushed :( I guess it's a LOT lighter, but still...what a great plane!
I love flying this in high wind lol… it stays in a harrier and even goes backwards! 😂😂😂
Hey Brian, man I just wanted to tell you thank you. I find my self turning to your videos alot. Your like that friend everyone has or should have that you turn to when you have not a clue what you are doing lol . I've been into the rc hobby for 15 years and now just getting into planes and your videos have been life savers. Especially setting up my NX6 to the yellow eflite t-28, apprentice sts, and sport cub (more to come im sure). So again i can't thank you enough sir for what you do! Keep up the good work! You and your camera crew!
Thanks, and glad you're getting some good out of the videos! We'll be here as you advance through the ranks of RC flight!
Thanks Brian, you covered how to get started in flying RC. Your camera crew does a great job showing the details and capturing the flying planes..
Thanks Tim! We're so glad to share this with such an amazing audience!!!
Thank you for the detailed and very informative video. My 4yr old son and I received this plane as a gift. We are already to RC car/trucks, however this is our first plane ever. Just got back home after our first successful flight and it was a blast! Can’t wait to get back out.
Glad it was helpful! So much fun coming! You'll be an addict in no time ;) Welcome!!!
Dang it, Brian! Thanks a bunch for this. I got one from your link and I am full on addicted. I've got this thing stuck in trees, crashed it, broken it and glued it back together so many times. Like a kid in a candy store, I already have eyes on all the other pretty planes I aspire to fly one day. And it's all your fault.
Ok, maybe not ALL your fault since I was an aviation enthusiast already, but you're an enabler. :-)
Keep up the good work.
You're welcome Joe ;)
The opportunity to fly with your son is amazing. At 64 years now, it makes me miss those days. As for the plane? What a little sweetheart. You have been giving me great advice on the UMX series the last week or so. Thank you. As for the indoor flying that you mentioned a little earlier this evening. This in addition to the UMX Night Vapor that I have, would make for a lot of fun during the winter. Thank you for your patience and help Brian. Greatly appreciated. Now to go finish watching the rest of this video.
yes, the night vapor is good for the living room! Gotta get that one at some point - BUT the cats killed one of mine, so cat owner be ware ;)
Thanks Brian! I know this is an older video but it was just what I needed to setup my Sport Cub S with my first hobby grade/programable TX. I got the NX8 delivered to me yesterday (which BTW I ordered thru Amazon using your Amazon link) and after a few hours of playing around could not find a Preset for this Cub. I did a YT search and found this video and followed along, with a lot of starts. stops and rewinds, and was able to bind my Sport Cub S 2 and NX8.
I used a different switch for the modes in order to match my RF9.5 simulator controller. I reversed the throttle cutoff switch because to my Polish mind it just makes more sense.
I've got an new unboxed UMX Turbo Timber to bind and since its in the radio will use the Preset for the model - wish me luck. That'll be tomorrow because right now this 76 year old brain feels fried and in need of a glass or two of wine. 😊
Also got a FT Simple Cub built that has been waiting for me to get a TX and RX. Got a Lemon RX on order and think I've seen an older video of yours where you do a Lemon receiver setup. I'll need to find it again to help me through that setup. Will also need help getting through my first time setting rates, mixes, sub trims, etc., etc. AND I've got to get this all done before Alzheimer's sets in! 😊 [Maybe shouldn't joke about something like that?]
Thanks once again to you Brian and your camera crew.
Bill K - I'm so glad you got it. Keep in mind, with the NX8, you will have so much stuff you can do, you'll be able to fly virtually anything! The drinking-inducing first crack at setting up the plane will be an investment in your next planes!!! I promise you'll be glad you did it, but it will be a challenge for a while. So smooth, and very refined, I trust you'll LOVE the improvement you get with it!
I also learned to fly on a Hobby Zone Super Cub from 2008. My friend just bought this as his first plane under my recommendation. It is insanely easy to fly. Highly recommend. Also your wife is super cool for filming you all the time especially in your 3 hour videos!! Nice flying!!
Very cool! Yeah, my camera crew is awesome!!! She's so good to me!
Hey Brian, I had already bought an Apprentice S but have not flown it yet. You got me so excited about flying this plane I just ordered the BNF because it was on sale for Black Friday! So I think I'll keep the Apprentice in the box and start out on this plane. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these very informative videos. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have had the courage to think I could do this. Also, I love the fact that you included your 10 year old son and flew together. I wish my father and I had done this when I was growing up! Now I'm just waiting anxiously for my Cub to arrive and for a good calm day to get out there! Thanks again, Bill S.
Bill - so glad you're taking the plunge! Remember a few things...
1) Don't give up when you crash - you WILL!
2) Fly a LOT. Fly enough that your wife has to tell you to stop - this will quicken the learning curve.
3) Buy glue - you'll need it ;)
4) When the plane stops working because it's too heavy (from glue) - get the next plane.
5) You will not believe me know, or after your first few flights, but you will be a competent flier in a few short months, if you fly a lot. You are 100% responsible for how FAST you learn. Muscle memory will not go away fast, but it takes a LONG time to get it down.
6) Don't get down on yourself if you make a mistake - you will - just learn from every crash, every stall, every bouncy landing. You will soon have less and less errors to correct.
7) KEEP LEARNING - when this stops, you'll cease to be flying ;)
Good luck!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Great advice, luckily I'm not married so I can fly as long as I have battery power! LOL! I'm already eying my next plane after I beat this one up and get my Apprentice banged up too! I want the Piper Cherokee! I think that will be my end all, be all plane. I love to watch scale flight and you made it look so impressive. That will have to wait though, just bought a DX6 from someone never used still in unopened box for 120.00 on eBay! So I hope the Piper will still be available when I am ready! Thanks again! Bill S.
I all so. Want .the epprintice 1,2mm. S 2/ 3s .I think. Wow it was really nice to SE how slow /and fast .I cut fly. I,m .just beginning to start again. I thank you for your help,Brian . Mvh RENE Pedersen.Danmark.
I'm buying this for my son for his birthday next month. Thank you both again- your content is doing so much good for the hobby.
Thanks Chris!
Sport Cub S2 UMX bit.ly/3cDYUW1
Good luck!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you, Sir
There are many options out here for us noobs but I think I’ll buy this model today. After 20 plus quadcopters, it’s time to learn fixed wing. Thank you for the informative videos.
Do it!!! If you've got that much experience with quads, you may find this super easy! When you progress on from there, we have so many good ideas for you Butch. Hope you'll be back for more ;)
(in order from most to least expensive - beginner planes that may be really good for you)

WOW, that's a leap! Good luck David!!!
Congrats on the Horizon Hobby Show; Brian!, You were awesome,,,!
Thanks so much! It was nice, I only wish I could have seen all the comments, since I would have liked to call out names ;)
Hi Brian thank you for taking the time and patience to help people get started in this wonderful
Hobby as It can be quite daunting for new model aviators... and an excellent informative walkthrough
Really helps well done...best wishes Chris
Very welcome, and I hope new pilots will understand it's totally DOABLE!!!
Those clouds in the background are PERFECT for filming. That A-10 would look "GOOORGEOUS" up there. Thanks for the video you two.!
Glad you enjoyed it! I sometimes wish I could PAUSE time and just film for about 30 hours straight
Hey so my propeller came unattached in the inside
How would I fix it?
Just bought this plane a couple days ago. Got it out in "safe" mode throttled up it went straight up 30-40 feet and nosed dived into the ground. Checked and made sure I was in safe mode and it repeated this time hitting the pavement and breaking the nose cone off and the nose of the plane cracked....Trimmed it with the controller and got it to fly kind of... Checked the CG and its tail heavy with the battery all the way forward.
Picked up Foam safe CA (got to love foam) fixed everything and now going to get the CG right. I can't wait to see a nice day to fly it now. I should have known better and checked but I didn't even think about it being off with all of what I had heard about the plane.
Thanks for the great video I can't wait for mine to fly that good.
Good luck!!! Keep at it - foam will be re-glued many times ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah no big deal. I expected I'd crash it pretty quick. I was just hoping I would miss the parking lot I slammed it into. lol
Brian, last week I ordered an NX10 from HH...I've mastered the product manual already.. I ordered another Sport Cub and Aeroscout fuselage today....What! Oh No! after I placed the order I realized that I needed batteries for it... so... I signed into HH again thinking oh they're really going to stick it to me on this mistake (I'm having crow for dinner)... No way! I had not only accrued more Member bonus points but, the order was entirely covered by points!..
NO Charge!
I really appreciate them and feel as though they're trying to go above and beyond their service to me....I can't say enough great things about you and HH.. Thank you so much Buddy...and HH I'll be back! Love the nails CC!
Excellent! Glad you're with us, and glad you picked such a sweet Radio!!! Now you're married to the hobby, and we'll be here while you work through the ranks ;)
Hey Brian, I just picked up a Sport Cub S. I have two 150mAh batteries that have been sitting around since my Blade Micro Heli days. Thought they were dead and gone. Wouldn’t take a charge. I got out my Spektrum Micro Lopo charger, SPMXC1040 to see if it would charge the batteries. No luck… until I tried to charge another 1S battery with it. No luck so I thought. The second battery on the same channel gave a boost to my old 150mAh pack. I then transferred the 150’s to my Celectra charger and WHAMMO. They took off charging. Thanks for the tip of using another Lopo to kick start what was thought to be a dead and down battery!!!!!🤘
You can usually cheat some voltage into them with another battery and then they'll "Equalize" but just gotta be careful...the solder on the connectors CAN melt if it's too FAST, which is how I burned my fingers when I was just getting into the hobby a few years ago ;) LOL - fortunately, I threw the 1S pack into the sink, and soldered the lead back on and no problemo ;)
Hi Brian I've WATCHED this video loads of times. I LOVE IT! THAT GREAT PLANE and THIS VIDEO are PERFECT. Shows EXACTLY what this plane is made for LEARNING to fly or TEACHING some one to fly. HOW MUCH FUN it is THANKYOU Brian and Camera crew for a PERFECT VIDEO 🇬🇧🛫🛩️🚁✈️🛬♥️ RC 👍🤩
SORRY and Andrew👍♥️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for remembering Andrew too ;)
love this vid and love this plane I started with plane as my first real plane can't tell you how many times its been glued and taped up, and motor and gear boxes I've been through, you learn how to fly and repair love your'e guy's video's your education and humor keep up the great work
Awesome! I agree, mine was a flying piece of glue by the time I was onto the next one ;)
After watching several videos related to this model, yours basically sealed the deal.
Bought the RTF version today. Cant fly because of the weather but its ready to go. I got a few extra cells as well...
The sickness begins...
Yes, exactly! Welcome to the wonders of the hobby!!!
Thanks! Enjoying mine, and doing lessons at my local club with a pandora
Was that a typo? I don't know what a "pandora" is...unless you're talking about listening to music ;)
Brian Phillips haha! No it’s one of those multi configuration planes. Worth looking at. ua-cam.com/video/ieF48cgz60M/v-deo.html
Astounding! I relearned to fly on my valiant! Tho Friday, from me for my birthday, I ordered one of these! (Actually, my service dog bought it 4 his daddy. Army veteran.)👍
Awesome! Thank you for your service! You got one cool dog!!!
Brian I really like your channel. I am a total noob with these and bought the sport cub s2 just for fun. After a couple flights I bought the carbon cub s2 just to handle a little more wind but I really like both of them. I usually fly this one first to to warm up and then switch to the carbon cub after about 5 battery packs. I also have a sim which does help with orientation. Thanks for a great informative channel I look forward to watching more of them. Nice runway/driveway btw!
Welcome aboard! So glad you're getting into the progression. Soon you'll be scouting for a good flying sight for your 80mm F-16 ;) We're here for you if you need help along the way, and we'll help you pick between the million choices of RC planes, half of which are crap ;)
Great video guys and camera crew😉 making memories is what it's all about and I also see crepe paper hanging from the back of those airplanes in the future
Sounds like fun!
Just picked me one up from Pacific Coast Hobby, can’t wait to try it out !
Good luck!
Thank you, your video convinced me this was a great starter for me, I have one issue with motor mounting … there is nothing supporting the top side of the mounting tabs … I added two small pieces of 5mm thick foam 1/2” squares on either side of the motor so when the fuselage is together the two foam pieces rest on the inside of the top of the fuselage and brace the motor from NOSE IN landings that happen in grass landings. I have two of these planes now and I love them for a grab and fly planes. My wife has bought me a Horizon Apprentice S 2 for Christmas and I am looking forward to flying a larger plane, but I live in Michigan and the winters can be very long and windy. Your long review of the Apprentice S 2 convinced me that the Apprentice S 2 was my next plane. I am still a beginner with about 20 to 30 hours actual air time flying FT Easy planes with twin pushers and differential thrust to control flight and wanted to try control surfaces that I actually control. The Sport Cub S 2 is the perfect next step. … you are way better than RC Saylors!
Thanks Mark! Sounds like you're well on your way to a basement full of planes too ;) Winters here are long and windy too...then sprinkle in some daylight savings time, and flying becomes a weekend only even :(
I wish we could set the clocks forward in fall to get back my evenings after work!!!
Thanks Mark for the kind words!
No one is better than anyone, we are all one. May God Bless Us All. The most important thing in life is helping others. Brian Phillips, Film Crew(Meghan

Brian Phillips, Film Crew(Meghan Phillips), Family and RC Saylors you are all Godsends, keep up the great work, we couldn't do it without you, stay positive and happy, may all your landings be smooth and soft. I am going to fly my UMX Turbo Timber and UMX A-10 in the Desert in Tucson AZ. My friend loves RC Airplanes and I am going to his camp in the desert to let him fly one of my planes, because, he is really into planes, but, hasn't had the money to put into the hobby and hasn't flown for years. He builds all types of planes from scratch and can't afford to buy the necessary electronics to achieve rc powered flight. He will fly today and I am positive that he will be happy and this will make his day, his smile will make my day. Thank you again for everything you do, have done, and most certainly will continue to do in the future. Meghan your AWESOME!
Brian, Thank you for a great Cub s2 video.
picked up the cub at a garage sale.. "gave up flying it because it kept getting in the trees".. don't really understand that logic.
I am an old sailplane, sport and mini plane pilot. Have been using my jr10x since new (long time ago) and then segue into the 9303 with the 9ch DSM2 module/9503.. my dad had the 7202 and then DX7. Programming in that was the same as the early dx6 and similar to the 9303 and 9503
None of the old or new modules will work with this "new" Horizon chip and none of the older stand alone TX of the past will work with it either...
This little beast forced me to make the switch to the DX9 black.
You have the advantage of only working with new Spectrum programming. Your style of explaining with the errors built in are incredibly helpful. There are so many new features incorporated into the radio that I have been struggling to make the jump to flight speed!
Your demonstration of the safe and the 3 modes were very helpful.
I linked to your battery link and picked up the higher capacity pack.. there is now a higher 45C battery (Tiny whoop probably) that may fit and give a little extra oomph for pulling the floats.
Already had that charger.. your dead on the money with it, works pretty much anything that is on the market today and does it safely.
Just picked up my first ever plane and went with this! can't wait to take her out!
Good luck!!! Make sure it's CALM when you go flying! You can do it!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC been having a blast with it and think I am getting comfortable with flight! Did have a bad crash that torn the prop mount off body and separated the front end! XD but it is so easy to rebuild and flies good as new! Hoping to get the Carbon Cub in future for more experience especially with landing!
@@BrianPhillipsRC To add I was actually wondering your opinion of either the Bigfoot RTF or the Carbon Cub RTF with the DXS transmitter as the best second/larger plane to learn better take off/landing and then tricks?
I ordered the RTF and a couple batteries off of you page..... Thanks for the review!
Hope you enjoy it! Such a fun plane!!!
I already had my first flight with the sport cub s 2 it was really fun
Congrats! I bet you're hooked ;)
Flew this for the first time today with my jumper t8sg. I ran out of trim for the rudder and it was slowly turning left the whole time. I had to do a mechanical adjustment when I came home. I’m sure it will fly great next time, maybe better in a little less wind too. Was about 8-10 mph gusts today. My first plane was a Volantex sport cub 500, that’s a great plane to learn on too. Started flying about a year ago.
Good for you Nick!!! Glad to hear you're figuring our the trim, but that seems a bit strange...lot of adjustment. Keep a close eye on the YAW behavior.
@@BrianPhillipsRC when I turned the plane on and bound it the rudder was about 1/4 to the left. It took all the right trim in the transmitter to get it to almost center, but the plane still made a slow left turn. I did buy the plane pre owned so maybe the pushrod adjustment point got bent out slightly. I just squeezed it a bit with some pliers.
Really liked the velcro on the shrink wrap for the batteries. Thanks.
Great!
Can't wait to fly with my kids. Great video!
I'm excited for you! It's so much fun!!!
Learned a few things. Thanks for posting
Awesome! Glad to hear, and thanks for stopping in!
Nice flying video, thanks 👍 ❗️
Brian I bought me a sport Cub I had never flown anything but a Cessna but you made that look like so much fun along with your son I just had to have one
Nice video indeed. I have the Version 1. Great first plane for the beginners but very sensetive to a bit windy weather since it's too light.
yeah, gotta be calm!!!
I am definitely a beginner so hopefully I will be able to fly with your help, 🙏
You can do it! I started just a few short years ago - in fact, if you want, you can actually go back and watch from the beginning!!! Either way, good luck and glad to have you here with us!
Thanks for another both fun and informative flight and unboxing video. Also, your "camera crew" is top notch.
I've been flying both a Hobbyzone Champ and WlToys Cessna 182 but am strongly considering an upgrade to the UMX Turbo Timber over the Sport Cub S 2. Any reason(s) you'd think it smarter to upgrade to the Cub first?
No, get the Turbo Timber UMX and you'll absolutely LOVE IT! Turbo Timber UMX - bit.ly/3aGrMtI
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for your reply. What TX should I get for the timber? I only see myself with a few UMX size planes to fly mostly over my 2 acre front lawn.
By far the best entry level trainer .
I agree, but only if you get calm weather where you live ;) I learned to fly on mine.
I cant wait to buy this and fly it in the gym at the school I work late at night when no one is around. 🤫😁
AWESOME!
Great job as always, thank you guys.
Thanks again!
Just bought 1 yesterday. Hopefully will maiden it today
Nice! Good luck!!!
Love my cub s ! It is by far the best entry level trainer
She is great!
Dx6i till Saturday I’m getting Nx6 and V1200 because of you 😀👍
NICE!!! Good luck! You will LOVE it!
My second plane after the old Champ!....I still fly it occasionaly on calm days! Almost lost it once when it was too windy and I flew to LVC!
Awsome,family time your boy flys better then me,even safe don't help with tree's for me...lol my A10 Thunderbolt came in yikes 😬. Nice video Megan 😉👍👍
Well, might want to make it a decoration for a while ;) That plane will go 110mph...and it'll do some damage too, so be careful ;) Good luck!
Glad to see you now have a hobby to share with your son...and that you have someone to fly with! Just ordered the charger and 4 batteries..charger looks like real quality unlike the BangGood POS 1 cell charger I currently own...ordered from your links. You’re welcomed. Yes..giving you a play by play of your video. AL37 with a Delta livery would be sweet too. Just have the DX6e...but it is adequate..I like it much better than my Trananis...did I just say that? Certainly will get hate comments for this! I also had the yellow Jumper....immediately return...the Jumper I could Not figure out how to get recognized on my PC in order to upgrade it. Hmmm...this could be a Brian Phillips build video...”How to setup the Jumper”
Thanks Fly Bar! You're helping to keep my lights on ;) :) :)
I have Jumper Videos - gotta check the playlist ;) Although, I used UA-cam to help get me started on the Jumper since I'm new to OpenTx too!
Hello Brian and Mrs Megan aka camera crew, shout out to your son thats so cool. He'll be flying like dad in know time. The plane is cool and does all that much larger planes can do. I myself used apprentice and a carbon cub s+ as trainer planes. Have umx timber and the turbo timber also. Thank you for what you do for the hobby and educating everyone. As i have said before always well done. Thank you for your video keep flying you guys. Just having fun RC'n with friends and family members.
Thanks! Did you happen to hear I'll be on Horizon Hobby's "LIVE" tomorrow at 3PM?
@@BrianPhillipsRC didnt know,but I'll be waiting to see the show. Notification i get sometimes, around 30 minutes before show. I'll be there showing support. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks Brian... Brill video/review... I've been cutting my teeth on the omp T720.. the sports cub s. is definitely going to be my 2nd RC plane to hone my skills.. then onto a large horizon trainer and join my local RC club.. your videos are so appreciated.. very informative and instructional.... merry Christmas 🎄 keep safe..kind regards Dave
Can I make a recommendation? I don't want to see you buy something you'll regret later. I mean, you won't regret the Sport Cub S UMX, but it's probably pretty similar in flight characteristics to the T720.....
I LOVE the Sport Cub S UMX, but I think you're probably ready for the "next" step...if you're flying the OMP T720...

Brilliant family fun and super informative as always, y’all. Best dang channel on YT. I have a couple of the original versions of this plane and have yet to fly them. It’s been so windy here this year (Houston) so I’ve not been able to fly very often. Frustrating. I’ve been a regular subscriber / commenter to your channel for a good while but my wife reclaimed her channel (cr169designs) and forced me to get my own. She’s tired of all the RC content clogging up her crafting feed. lol. I mean, I know you remember every subscriber comment..... ;)
LOL - sorry to hear ;)
Just got this on amazon from their Black Friday sale. Horizon has this for $99 on their Black Friday page, and amazon took 28% off $99!!!!! So with tax I paid $78 for a RTF -almost half off and brand new. Can’t wait to fly this thing.
Wow, that's a great price! I hope you didn't get the BNF...since RTF is usually $139.99 for the V2 (I thought)???? Either way, great plane!
@@BrianPhillipsRC It's the RTF. I ordered one too. To good to pass up.
Nice video. I have two of the older ones that I try to fly at the local park when it's no windy.
Nice! This one is super similar, but adds some telemetry. I was hoping for a brushless, but then that would add cost and weight, which is why Horizon said they stuck with the brushed motor.
Wow.... this is sooooo beautiful plane
This plane is a great way to learn to fly too! bprc.me/SportCub
Well done Andrew....well done Dad... Lovely flights & video (Mum...in Australia) Mom
Thanks again for stopping in!
I had one of those and lost it in a wind storm and now watching this video thats what it did, it went in circles
yeah, when it gets out of range, it locks the rudder and cuts the throttle, and you can go right into a thermal!!! My neighbor had this happened and we FOUND it like a mile away in chest high grass!!!!
Great video Brian and crew and nice flying Jr. I got out today to fly the umx turbo timber.Brian I can’t remember if you have one or not,it is a blast to fly,a lot of fun.🐓🐔🦊🍗
I have the Timber UMX, but no Turbo Timber UMX
Great setup video....thanks!
Thanks!
I wound up getting this plane. Have had about a dozen crashes, 3 or four "tree" landings and have logged about 160 flights. Something like half om my crashes and tree landings were due in big part to flying with to much wind and the other half just rookie stuff. I can also recommend this model as a first plane - just don't fly it on windy days. Most days in my area are calm just after sunrise and just before sunset.
I just bought RF9.5 instead of an RC Plane upgrade. Will have fun and learn on the simulator this Fall and Winter and get a new/upgraded plane come next Spring.
This is true, Bill. I personally had the same experience...only I logged more crashes than you ;) LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC Now as I think about it I probably did have more crashes. I should also log/count my crashes and not just my flights. A lot of early crashes were "caused" by going out of SAFE at to low an altitude and losing control by over reacting and trying to recover without using the panick button or flipping back into SAFE. I don't make that mistake anymore.
Yep, great plane. I was flying inverted (too close to the ground) and broke the prop shaft. I know, but I'm very much a beginner. Looking to upgrade to a 3000Kv motor and receiver/ESC. Any suggestions? So happy to see your son joining you. Family hobbies are a real plus. Camera Crew did a fantastic job as usual. :)
Thanks Jack! I think this plane would be best upgraded to a Timber UMX ;) if you're really wanting the Brushless ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Funny you should mention the Timber as I was thinking about and researching the UMX Turbo Timber just today. Probably order one next week but I still want to put a brushless in the Sport Cub S2 to make it more fun in general and able to handle a little wind.
I just bought one...still have to set it up...Brian..long time subscriber, commenter and social media stalker. Got one thing to say.....you are one step away from buying the AL37....serious...spend your UA-cam millions! You need one...you want one 😁
You mean my UA-cam $10's ;) LOL I wish I cold share specifics, you would LAUGH... I do this because I love it, not because it pays - Mc Donald's part time would pay a LOT more ;)
I know you want me to have the AL37 - I too want it, but I'm not buying planes from companies that don't want to work with me. I'm done playing games with companies that want free marketing.
I AM however working on a new product, something that's NOT been seen yet, and it's FREAKING AWESOME - you will LOVE it. It's NOT Horizon Hobby, it's NOT Motion, it's NOT Hobby King - you will specifically enjoy it. Please stay tuned (I know you will - no matter how many feature length movies you could watch in the same amount of time - LOL)
Hi Brian,
I`m looking forward to your next video. 😉
I may have let the cat out of the bag, but it's up...and another coming very soon after :) Hope you enjoy!!!
Ha! I lost battery juice to my transmitter n my plane went full throttle n never came back lol!
I bought a replacement bind and fly.
Love this plane!
That's a bummer! Gotta keep an eye out for these things, but some lucky guy now has yours - LOL ;) You're spreading the joy of the hobby ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I was hoping it landed in some kids yard and sparked the flame. :)
Greetings from Australia, couldn't help noticing some of your footage looks straight out of realflight sim.
Perhaps horizon would consider adding your home to available airfields.
Keep up the good work,your an awesome ambassador for the rc community.
Matt.
Thanks Matt - the thought has been discussed - Maybe some day ;)
fun lil plane Brian
For sure! Needs some calm weather, but great place to start.
Great video! 👍👍
Thanks!
Thanks for the information about the spectrum charger. I have one but never really understood the functionality and unbelievably there are no videos about it.
Glad to help!
Your videos are awesome!!!
Thanks. I’m in Las Vegas
Lucky dog. It was like 7 degrees high today ;(
thank you for your advise i ordered the sport cub s RTF for my first plane if all goes well i am going to get the aero scout RTF next once again this beginner thanks you.
Good luck Ken! If you're like me, you'll be totally hooked as soon as you get flying!!!!
I really like my AeroScout S2. Lots more stable in a calm to 10 mph wind. Just got a Sport Cub S2 to mess around with..
Bought this to get my feet wet with planes. My 12yo loves it as well. Fairly tough to!
Yeah, I agree!
That’s the one I learned to fly on , very easy to fly
For sure Jim Bob!
I wish they had that when I learned to fly I learned in the 80s somebody out on the flying field was learning with one of those today
I agree, although for me would have been in the 90's if I would have had my way. I remember asking for a plane that was small enough to fly inside the house on a Birthday list several times.
Love your videos
Thanks Miguel!
How good was this Brian :) you and yer lad 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Phil!
Как всегда, отличное видео, Брайан!
Спасибо!
Hi Brian- thanks so much for your super detailed reviews, I literally watch them all the way through! Very well done, and I’m a fan of the camera crew- she does great work!
Anyway, I picked up the sport cub and it’s perfect for a beginner pilot. I’m enjoying the hell out of it. Question- what comes next! Would you say the Carbon Cub? I’m hoping to get to warbirds eventually (goes back to when I was a kid watching the old dudes fly them), and maybe graduate to jets someday.
When you're ready, here's the short list of beginner planes, I generally recommend. Once you're flying out of SAFE, you can kinda fly whatever you want ;)
In no particular order, FYI

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks! Just watched your review of the Aero scout too, so you may have sold me on that one.
I bought this model and when it arrived the battery cable was inside the fuselage, I tried to get it out with tweezers and was unable to. I contacted customer support and was told to remove the tape to separate the model into two pieces and retrieve the battery cable. I shouldn't have to do that on a new model. This is not the first time I have had quality control issues with their products and I know I'm not the only one. I wish you could talk about this in one of your videos that might help force them to take quality control more seriously. Thanks for all you do for the hobby!!!
I talk about all sorts of strangeties that we run in to, but how would I talk about an experience I haven't had?
As for the cable being shorter/unreachable, maybe yours got stuck in the glue on the under-side of the multi-purpose brick? If so, the real huge pain about that is there's really no other way to get to it without cutting the fuse in half, and yes, I totally agree you shouldn't have to do this... NOW, as for a beginner plane, you may find that it's somewhat commonplace to "open" the Sport Cub S2 UMX, and doing so can be accomplished with almost no damage, if this wasn't already explained. The issue, of course, is that this does take tools (Xacto knife) and tape (clear scotch tape OR packing tape that's ripped down to thin)....and it's not the easiest thing to do when you're new with foamies, and/or new with splitting umx models.
I can assure you, once it's taken apart and put back together, you will not notice damage, unless you cut it badly. You have to cut shallow, and RIGHT on the seam! DO NOT REMOVE TAPE! Add tape when you're done and putting it back together, so that when you close it up, you'll have a small piece on TOP of the existing, factory applied tape. No paint lost, and still looks 100%. It works like a charm, and yes, I've done it probably 20 times or more. Please use care not to unplug the top from the bottom, if not necessary. The MicroPH connectors inside are super hard to tell where they go, when you're not sure what you're looking at. I marked all of mine with different color markers so I can get them back to the appropriate spots, BUT it's still hard to tell what direction they insert so the marker trick works well.
If you need help seeing how to do it, we have filmed it many times, but you'll need to look through the playlists to find a project.
P.S. I had to grab my battery lead out of one of the three that we have too, but I got it on the first or second attempt, so I have to assume your issue is more prevalent than mine.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for your reply Brian and you solved my problem! Not pulling the tape off will preserve the paint job and adding new tape will fix everything. Thanks so much for your advice. I think it's time to get busy fixing my plane.
my came the same i used a paper clip with a u bend on one side to grab the wire..
@@jameshiguera6600 That's a great idea!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Prevalent widespread in a particular area or at a particular time.
"the social ills prevalent in society today"
its so cool i saw a nother vid of it
It is very cool!
0:59 I can just imagine while your looking away the plane crashing into one of those telephone poles in the background.
okay
Ove flying with you son nice mate love the family thing
I like this plane🛩
Me too ;)
Instant thumbs up before I even started watching...
Many thanks!!!
Another great indepth and entertaining review! I have a question regarding the SS44 Micro charger in the video. Will it accommodate micro losi connectors found on other 1S lipo batteries you have reviewed?
Yes it will, and they're easier to hook up too...the micro PH 1S plugs are hard to tell which way to plug in.
You can tell Andrew wants a faster plane, young blood looking for the speed fix.
Wonderful day!
He's still a bit apprehensive, but he can do it. I wish I could get him into a Concsendo S or the like, I bet he'd love it!
Bellissimo ! Lo sto comprando 🎉
What a salesman! Bought one yesterday and it's not even my first one!
"Salesman?" Thanks - LOL - This plane is AWESOME. I learned to fly on it, and still enjoy flying it today. We have three currently, and the V2 is nothing exceptionally better, but still love it just as much ;)
Brian,
I tried moving the pushrod to a different hole on the elevator control horn but I couldn't figure out how to 'unlink' the rod to move it. So I tried bending the little tip of the rod to straighten it in order to get it out of the current hole. Mistake - it broke off. Now the pushrod isn't connected anymore. What SHOULD I have done to remove the pushrod from the control horn, and HOW do I fix it now? Do have to buy the replacement pushrod set or can I just widen the 'bend' adjustment to give the the extra length I need and put an 'S' curve on the tip, then reattach? (The pushrod and horn part is not currently in stock at HH). Thanks!
Ok I’m sold. This will be my first plane. I’m sold when he cut the controller off
This plane is GREAT, but it does have to be really calm wind to work well...just an FYI. If that doesn't work (the dead calm wind conditions in your area) here's a few other great beginner planes for you to consider...and my videos about then too ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC yes that sold me. Only different video. Actually the guys battery fell out of the plane when he was doing loops. The plane was really high and I'd glided down making circles till it landed perfect with no battery in it. I WA SOLD
Just got mines today..can't wait to fly
Great video. You must have deep pockets. I just bought a 4000mah 4cell Eflite For $90 from Horizon. I stick to 3 cell mostly. Can’t imagine what your 6 cell cost. And it looks like your counter is full of them. And 80 planes. Wow
My wife would be choking me out.
A few more than that...more like hundreds (some less impressive than others, no doubt). Glad you're here with us! Welcome aboard ;)
hi there - great videos! For the Sport Cub - can you recommend a larger battery for the RC plane? the 150mA is cheap to buy, but i want to fly this for longer periods. What do you suggest?
I just saw u on horizon hobby also I got my first plane
Nice - Congratulations! Glad you watched the LIVE!
Hi Brian......Waiting for my Sport Cub S2 (It is ordered based on your review).....meanwhile....if possible, are you able to make your great videos about the "Bigfoot 1300mm RTF With Vector Stabilization (Arrows)" and the "UMX Stearman PT-17 With AS3X BNF (E-flite)" - the small brother of your Dynam plane? And many thanks too for the "Camera Crew", I wish mine would be so patient with me and my hobbies
I would love to cover the Arrows stuff, but they won't return my emails. Ask them why? Are they concerned I might share a "bit too much" - LOL (I am fair to companies, but I claim allegiance to my audience).
Call them up and ask them to shoot me an email on my "Business Inquiries" in the About Tab of our channel ;) Then I can honor your wish ;)
As for the PT-17...not on our short list, but I can ask. I heard some bad stuff about the CG on that plane??? This was one of the few Dynam's that wasn't terrible, FYI ;) And you can do a Spektrum Rx and make it great again ;)
Hi Brian, thank you for that classroom session:) that was informative. However, I was looking at buying one of these in the BNF version but I was not sure if this would be compatible with the old DXe. I got that transmitter with my RTF Apprentice S 15e.
yes, only issue is that I don't KNOW if you can have it bound to both planes. You might have to rebind each time you flip between planes....that being said, the binding procedure on the UMX planes is SUPER easy, and doesn't require any plugs, so I'd go for it!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Awesome, thanks for the reply. Super excited to fly it next weekend!
Do you know if I can use a 1s high vault lipo on my sport cub s2? I have a bunch of beta fpv bt2.0 LiHV 300mah batteries.
Thank you for all the great video lreally in-depth and you have great knowledge. Just a suggestion maybe you should try to incorporate a wireless microphone sometimes it's hard to hear you when you walk away from your wife
Yeah, I've heard this request more than a few times. I've been thinking HARD about doing just that, but we've been saying "yes" to a LOT the last few months, and I gotta be careful not to end up bankrupt, and easy to hear ;) LOL
