  • Great plane, flies well, perfect for beginners
Style: BNF Basic
This is a great training aircraft, I got one to help me learn to fly RC planes. I've flown some other trainers before and wanted to get back into it. The SAFE modes work well for learning the basics, it really does a good job keeping it stable while flying and makes it easy to operate. I found that after flying for a bit I didn't need it anymore, but once in a while it's still nice to turn on, especially if the plane is not trimmed out well and getting things back to level flight while I fuss around with the transmitter is rather useful. Flight wise it is capable of assorted basic aerobatic maneuvers, and the large wheels are wonderful for flying off of a grass field. Many other similarly sized aircraft seem to struggle with decent ground handling in the grass, but not this one. I'm now planning to buy a new plane and can safely say that this aircraft has been able to get me hooked on the hobby. I'd highly recommend this plane to anyone looking to learn to fly rc planes, it is quite stable, flies well and is relatively forgiving. ... show more

  • An absolutely great RC plane for any level!!
This plane is amazing and so much fun to fly. I am fairly new to the RC plane crowd, but have been flying drones for years. I was really surprised with how easy this plane is to fly. In beginner mode you can really get a good feel for the aircraft, and flying in general, and then move up to advanced mode where the flying really opens up. It is nice that you can switch between these modes on the fly (no pun intended), letting you fly casually and then flip the switch and start doing loops and barrel rolls, all in the same flight. The assembly was easy (it was bigger than I expected) and the RTF kit has everything you need to start flying. The kit comes with a 2200mAh battery, which gives you some decent flying time depending on how much throttle you are using. I also ordered a Spektrum smart 3200mAh battery which fits perfectly in the battery compartment and allows for an extended time in the air. I have not had any issue with not having flaps, if there is a little breeze you can fly into the wind and fly extremely slow without issue. I have only used this on a grass field and really haven't had any issues with nose overs...just one and that was my own fault, and with the durability of this plane there were no issues. There is also some nice add on equipment, such as Landing assist and GPS, that can be purchased for a relatively low cost, that can really help if you are a beginner pilot. There are also floats that you can purchase for water take offs and landings. I live on a lake so I really like that!! I would highly recommend this plane to anyone. It is a great plane for a beginner to get into the hobby, but also a fun plane for the seasoned pilots as well. Have Fun!! ... show more

  • Excellent beginner plane overall.
I love this plane. It is very durable and has survived many crashes. Don't count on the little covers that go over the landing gear as those broke the first time I did a bad landing. This was my third plane but my second plane never worked right so I'm not a great pilot. I have a float set for it but I didn't try those yet. The floats are the Hobbyzone sport cub LP set available on amazon. The landing gear that comes with the floats doesn't work for the plane but there is other landing gear that comes with the plane for the floats. The set up was easy and took me about an hour but I'm very slow. It lands and takes off well in grass and flies great. The three modes are amazing with self leveling on beginner and intermediate mode and no limits on advanced. It also has a low and high speed which changes the tilt of the elevator, ailerons, and rudder. I would recommend this plane for anyone who is a first time pilot. ... show more

  • Good plane for beginners to advanced
Style: BNF Basic
I'm enjoying this plane a good bit. Have had aprox a dozen flights with no crashes. Had a little trouble setting it up with my Spektrum DX7s. Reached out to Horizon for help, and they said that transmitter is too old and can't do all the things required to fly the Carbon Cub. So after much trial and error, I figured it out myself, no thanks to them. Plane has both SAFE and AS3X, but SAFE is on a 3-way switch to select level of SAFE (high, med, off). I fly mostly with SAFE off because I've been flying many years, and find it an easy sport flyer that takes off easy and lands gently with no noticeable bad habits. So SAFE would make it good for beginners. ... show more

  • Fantastic R/C
As a kid, my dad and I built a few R/C planes and just could never keep them flying for long; a failure I was drawn to correct 40 years later. Thankfully, I came across this plane kit. The beginner mode is a savior and gives a novice pilot time and confidence to learn how to fly an R/C plane the right way. It took a couple hours to put everything together (taking my time). From flight one, I felt success and a big thrill. And although my first day of flying ended with the plane in a tree (100% pilot error), a big feeling of accomplishment was still achieved. The plane survived the crash and tumbling down half the tree, and I even flew it for about a week afterward with half a tail (that's how solid it flies) before the replacement I ordered came. I have since replaced the propeller as well - many replacement parts can be purchased online. Highly recommend to all! ... show more

  • Piece of junk
Fragile as eggs. You need an engineering degree to assemble it. Batteries will not charge beyond 50 percent and you only get about 3 minutes flight time, can't even fly long enough to get the trim set. Wheels break upon first hard landing, which will come in first three minutes of flight,cause battery will die, after 12 hours of charging, and anything it touches will leave a dent or crunch some part of the p.o.s. Save your money and buy anything but this pile. ... show more
