TheRcSaylors heck yea I got the original one , I want this one too ,will the dxe remote that comes with the mini apprentice work with this. Also this plane does not need faa approval like the original I believe ,can you confirm? The planes are on back order and you guys got one I was just looking at this yesterday and you got a review today that’s awesome.Im glad I found your channel... keep the content coming
I just know that since you guys recommend the Champ, I had never flown before, but now I'm flying everyday and I'm becoming a pretty good pilot. When I graduate to my Mini Apprentice I'm gonna teach my wife to fly the Champ. I am grateful to you guys for introducing me to an awesome part of the hobby. I've done ground RCs for 30 years but the planes always scared me. 🐾🐾😎
My first rc plane (13 years ago) was identical to this little guy, but it was an orangeish yellow. Same size same batteries and same model. I believe they called it The Champ. It only had rudder and elevator, no ailerons. Thinking of getting back into simple fun park flying and will be picking this little guy up in order to relive some memories! Ty for the awesome video.
Thanks for this helpful review. You talked me into buying this as my first ever RC plane and it has been a delight. At 65 I have discovered I am not to old to learn something totally new. Thanks for all your cheerful, friendly, informative reviews. What nice people you are.
Please stop making great video's, you are costing me a fortune. Hahaha, i bought one of these to after watching yet another spanking video. Keep up the good work guys you are one of the best teams on the net...
Great job Abby ! Very cool version of the Sport Cub S . My wife actually bought me a Carbon Cub S + 1.3m RTF for Christmas which is a huge step up from my Trainstar . I can't wait for spring !! Have a good weekend guys !
Great plane! Like you said in the video, you're killing my budget!!! A year ago I didn't have any Rcs. Now I'm up to 17 rcs ! It's a REAL ADDICTION!! 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏⚓⚓⚓😀
I love how you two are always so upbeat, positive, informative and scrupulously honest in all of your presentations... 😇😇 With so much exploitative, misleading and debased content on the internet, full of trash content and even trashier language, it’s always so refreshing to stop by your channel and remind oneself that truly decent, wholesome and edifying content still exists on TH-cam... presented by two of the most wholesome, engaging and helpful people on the Internet, who do so much to illustrate how accessible, exciting AND FUN this hobby can be, no matter how limited one’s experience and income might be... BLESS YOU BOTH 🤝 for all of the hard work and infectious enthusiasm that you inject into each and every one of your excellent videos. I’ve watched you since your channel was way smaller than it is today, and it’s so gratifying to see that your subscriber base has grown so much and keeps on growing, because you truly deserve to succeed. 😊👍
I just got this plane and had an absolute blast! I never thought I would do loops on my first ever RC flight, but this makes it so easy! Now I want something brushless to advance with so I can give this to my wife.
Just bought one tonight because of your recommendations. Took advantage of horizon's pre black friday sale! Love your channel and videos. Cant wait for it to arrive!!!
I bought one several weeks ago and had a very successful first flying outing. It was very stable in flight and easy to control. Just went out for my second flight. Just after take off the plane began circling with a steep left hand bank. It continued to climb. The breeze picked up. I could not get it to fly straight and come back to the field. It flew completely away!
Very good flying Abby, keep pressing those boundaries, and catch up to Nate.☺. Nice plane, seems that the plane manufacturers are starting to do the drone thing. Put out a base model, then wait for sales to slow, then put out an upgrade to up sales. Next upgrade will be brushless. Nice day,🌝 nice flying,🛩 nice couple.👫. 😊😊. ⚓⚓👍👍🌈💗🌈👍👍⚓⚓.
Yeah that's really cool and I like it. Abby you flew that amazing. I have my new Bugs 4w 4k coming tomorrow with x3, batteries. I can't wait to have my maiden flight or first flight. Plus it's my first GPS drone and I had some one saying that I should have gotten a dji Mavic 2, but I told them I wasn't too keen on it and I don't want to spend like loads on my first GPS drone you know. Some people have the money and some don't. I have but I still wouldn't buy it lol..I love the look of the bugs 4w too much. Sorry for rambling on. Good Job to you Both 👍😉
Another tip Abbey when the plane is dropping a wing coming towards you assuming mode2 move right stick to the dipping side ok making small adjustments leveling it
Discovered you guys two weeks ago, and I just bought the Cub Sport! Can't wait to fly. I do seem to have a 'glitch' though- no problem charging the battery, but after running it down now I cannot get the charger to work again. Bought two spare batteries & same issue. Suggestions? (I do plan on calling Horizon Hobby on Monday).
We had the original when SAFE was new to us. If you are an Intro pilot or like to share the hobby this plane is perfect to share with the curious spectators at the field
That is a cool little plane! Great for beginners for sure! I might just have to buy one for my dad to get into rc planes. And if he don't want it (he will) Ill have a 3rd plane so win win!!!
Just picked up mine a week ago. Weather is not great here in New York, waiting for a calm day. By the way my RTF came with lights inside behind motor. Red and blue LED's. This way at dusk the plane is more visible. Lights can be seen in the two holes in front and the plane body also is lit from the inside. Pretty cool.
What I've been doing is trying to hold off on the impulse buy..then wait till your next video..hold off again..repeat as necessary..you guys got me wanting at least 10 different kinds of rc..i will give in someday..my son needs a good starter car or truck..lol..
Bought one of these in December, after only ever having a brief go with a glider years ago. When I bought it had a brief go at our local cricket field and after a brief uncontrolled panic takeoff the breeze got under it and 10 seconds later it was stuck at the top of a tree, about 20 feet behind me. We managed to rescue it using a beachcaster rod, lots of canes and gaffer tape! Luckily it was getting dark and the leds inside it helped to locate it. I was then scared to have another go unless I could find a massive open space with no trees or rivers etc., Also I have heard that the batteries go off so was scared to risk it. Until yesterday, when I went for a drive looking for a suitable field as it was an exceptionally calm day. Anyway in the calm (5mph) conditions I managed to get a 10 minute flight as I was very light on the throttle and probably could have got longer, but it was fantastic, handled nicely and I loved it! I think it needs trimming possibly from some damage getting it out the tree but was very stable in flight, and even though I didn't consider any of the landings a "real landing" due to the long tumpy grass it's still in one piece. Would recommend it for a beginner but best to start in calm conditions! Many thanks for the videos, can't wait to get flying again!
Be very careful flying high in the wind. I flew too high in 10mph wind and couldn't get it down bc of the wind, then it lost connection and glided away out of site. I was lucky to find it in somebody's front yard over 250 meters away. Its a good plane but sucks in the wind. I can usually only fly it once a week when the wind is under 5mph.
This plane is so easy to fly. My friend could fly it for 5 minutes without crashing, and he had no experience. It does take dents and cracks, but nothing you can’t fix with tape or glue. We got ten minutes of battery time. Not good in wind, but still flies in it. I’ve pretty much mastered it so now I’m ready to buy a flitetest speed build kit.
Wanting to get into the RC plane hobby but I have never done this before . Love your videos but you have done a lot on beginner planes. Which one would you recommend the most for me? Thanks.
This plane is around $230 AUD in Australia, so not such a cheap option. The Volantex 500mm Super Cub 4ch from your Under $100 USD beginner vids is under $130 AUD. How do these two compare for a complete beginner? My wife watched this vid and seemed interested (YES!!!). I've rewatched both videos, and the HobbyZone seems to be be a bit slower. Thanks.
Matt, I am in Australia as well. For what you get these are very expensive. I bought one when i started and grew out of it in a few weeks. If you have a lot or room to fly i would get a glider with a pusher prop maybe a HKing Walrus which is a real RC plane. The SAFE cam make them harder to fly actually.
I already have several basic planes so although that is such a nice plane for beginners, I wouldnt invest in it. I do have a friend that wants to get into flying RC Planes, I am setting him up with my Phenoix simulator and Dx6i setup to at least get him started. It sure helped me save money on learning to fly without crashing.
A great plane and all, but I think one of the biggest mistakes beginners make is buying a too small plane. I suggest an easy to fly plane with decent wingspan to start with. These small ones are tricky imho.
Am on the fence about buying the Sport Cub 2S as my first rc plane. Can you please tell me about the batteries available for this plane? And which battery do you recommend for longest flight times. Have done a ton of research, but still unclear about best battery. Thank you for your time and all the effort you two put into the rc hobby.
Got one of these on Monday. Flies amazingly and is a ton of fun. Once you get it to go. We have had an issue connecting the battery with that micro connector. It comes loose super easy with any slight jolt (compared to say a JST connector) and it gets really frustrating. Do you guys have any advice on dealing with the micro connector batteries? Also think since this is a trainer type aircraft, the foam on the tail should be a bit stronger and slight gust of wind caught it on the ground and flipped it over, bending the rudder/tail. Thanks! My son and I love your channel!
Can you do a review on the horizon hobby apprentice s 15e? I can't choose between the sport cub or the apprentice. I'm new to this hobby and don't know what 1st plane to buy
TheRCSaylors I've watched lots of your videos looking for my first RC plane and I think I've figured out the question I want to ask most. What's the best, cheapest SAFE RTF that has a great expert level for me to grow into? So many people comment on how squirrely and unusable many are in expert mode. Thanks!
So I ordered this plane and got it yesterday. Flew nice for a second then lost in a light breeze. In hindsight I think if I put it into advanced mode maybe the motor would have made enough power to get it back. This was the first rc plane I’ve ever bought but I have a good understanding of flight controls as I’m in process of getting my ppl. Being in Buffalo NY there is always a little breeze coming off the lake. Is there another slightly heavier more powerful plane you can recommend for use in light winds? Possibly something that uses the same remote?
Nice flying Abby. Maybe you should have mentioned that the plane is under .5 pounds and the implication of that stat. Also, it is a plane, according to the promo video, that can be flown in a large yard or small park - no need to find a flying field and join a club.
I just bought two S2s for my dad and I. We're both new to RC flying, and it will be a few weeks until I get out to see him. Should I open mine up and practice ahead of time? Or just wait and try to learn together?
@@TheRcSaylors I will search for that. Thanks for the honest response. One of the reasons I love you guys. ALWAYS honest! Maybe I will just get a DX 6e. That will work right? I am on a budget.
B Diddy You would need to replace the receiver with a FlySky one (which kind of defeats the purpose) to use that transmitter. The DX6e would work fine. Horizon Hobby actually suggests that one in their completion guide for the BNF version. Alternately, you could go with the RTF version if you aren’t ready to invest in a more advanced transmitter, charger, etc. or don’t plan on owning a fleet of Spektrum-based (DSMX/DSM2) models.
@@chadpollman7970 Yeah. I found out that FlySky does not work with any planes that need Spektrum BNF. SO I might get a DX6 E. FlySky is great for all other planes because FllySky is 50 bucks! But. I think a DX6 e is the way to go now for me. I want the option to buy BNF to save money over all. I am very very new to the hobby. BUt BNF over all is worth it. Oh. The FlySky is good for PNP though. Thanks!
I have the sport cub S, will the transmitter supplied with a sport S2 to work with a sport S? And conversely can I use my sport S transmitters if I buy a sport S to plan only?
I just subscribed to your channel after watching a few of your videos. Great work! I ordered the Sport Cub S 2 the other day and it should be here tomorrow (4/30/2020). I've tried a couple of RC planes in the past and didn't have much luck, but this plane sounds like it is a good one for beginners. Thanks for all the videos!
Follow-up 5 May 2020: I took my Sport Cub S 2 our for the first time this morning since the wind appeared to be pretty calm. However, by the time I made it outside the wind had picked-up a little... I decided to give it a go anyway and everything went great. I had to hand-launch the plane since the grass in the area was just a tad too high for a ground launch. I flew the plane for about five minutes, until the wind got a little too unruly. When I made my final landing it was with full power-off into the wind and the plane was hovering like a hawk until it gently touched-down almost like a helicopter would. ZERO mishaps and no damage to the plane which is always great!
I took my Sport Cub S2 our again this morning and flew it in some very light wind. Once, I flew it right into a small dead tree and there was no damage to the plane. I was pretty surprised because the plane hit the tree pretty fast! I also had a couple of nose-dives into the ground but had zero damage to the plane. I'm getting better in beginner mode and have even tried the intermediate setting a couple of times. So far, so good!
@@johnbrown8059 Good deal Im really thinking about getting one myself How much did it coast after shipping etc ? Glad to hear ya had a good time flying It's a rush to me especially when I'm flying my $300 plane that I built 25% my self LOL That may not sound like allot of $ or work but for me it is When ya bash $300 into a tree you'll understand more as you see all your hard work in splinters LOL It's pretty heart breaking but fun as hell at the same time 😂🤣😁 ✌️
@@EJ-74 I think mine cost around $150.00 total with shipping costs. I clicked on the link provided in this article and bought it from Horizon Hobbies. I've also ordered some extra batteries and extra chargers, which were all pretty cheap. I recently bought an AeroScout S 1.1m RTF plane from Horizon and I've been totally thrilled with it so far! It handles much better in the wind and has a LOT more power. (Of course, it uses bigger batteries.) The total cost for the AeroScout was around $225.00 and it came with a battery, controller, charger, etc.
@@johnbrown8059 Cool thanks for the reply Yeah I think im going to go with something a little bigger I live in NC and its pretty much always wind around here How big is the AeroScout wingspan? Im looking for something around $150 $200 3 to 4 foot wingspan if possible ✌️
I flew mine to high & lost it. I a little wind & it took it quick. got so high i could't see which direction it was even going. pretty sure it crossed the river. had to let it go. to far away.
You guys are awesome at flying those things I can't fly them very well you guys should try the danchee ridgerock it's a redcat racing brand and its 1:10 scale and it's only $120 look it up you guys it's on Amazon.
So i have a ?, I just got this plane and love it, fun flyer! I have some Eflight 200mah 1S 3.7V 30C Li-Polymer Batt from a Blade MCP X Micro Helicopter. Can i use these battery's with this airplane? Semper Fi 🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸
In beginner mode, my sport cub s 2 doesn't go down - even though its fully trimmed. I lost it once because it just kept going higher and higher, but found it. Before I go out again, is this normal - whenever I press up on the stick it just doesn't descend. Is it because I am in beginner mode?

Y’all making me want a plane now lol.
Very good flying Abby, keep pressing those boundaries, and catch up to Nate.☺. Nice plane, seems that the plane manufacturers are starting to do the drone thing.

If you have a lot or room to fly i would get a glider with a pusher prop maybe a HKing Walrus which is a real RC plane. The SAFE cam make them harder to fly actually.
@@wazza7575 thanks for the advice. I started with the little Eachine p51, I might start her with that (it's already had a hiding from me). Cheers.
I already have several basic planes so although that is such a nice plane for beginners, I wouldnt invest in it. I do have a friend that wants to get into flying RC Planes, I am setting him up with my Phenoix simulator and Dx6i setup to at least get him started. It sure helped me save money on learning to fly without crashing.
A great plane and all, but I think one of the biggest mistakes beginners make is buying a too small plane. I suggest an easy to fly plane with decent wingspan to start with. These small ones are tricky imho.
Could not agree more. Buy the AeroScout. That is the best beginner plane.
Am on the fence about buying the Sport Cub 2S as my first rc plane. Can you please tell me about the batteries available for this plane? And which battery do you recommend for longest flight times. Have done a ton of research, but still unclear about best battery. Thank you for your time and all the effort you two put into the rc hobby.
You guys are total dorks and I love it
The only thing I'd recommend if you buy one is two by two I made the mistake of not getting the extra battery it took 7 days still very fun
Got one of these on Monday. Flies amazingly and is a ton of fun. Once you get it to go. We have had an issue connecting the battery with that micro connector. It comes loose super easy with any slight jolt (compared to say a JST connector) and it gets really frustrating. Do you guys have any advice on dealing with the micro connector batteries?
Also think since this is a trainer type aircraft, the foam on the tail should be a bit stronger and slight gust of wind caught it on the ground and flipped it over, bending the rudder/tail.
Thanks! My son and I love your channel!
I live in Vermont . Hope to be able to fly in May.
The panic button is a gyroscope technical term hehe
No it's not. It's all on a circuit board. There is no gyroscope.
What's the difference between this one and the first one?
Telemetry is the Main Difference 👍⚓😎
Very nice flying Abbie
Can you do a review on the horizon hobby apprentice s 15e? I can't choose between the sport cub or the apprentice. I'm new to this hobby and don't know what 1st plane to buy
That narwhal 56 get them both
TheRCSaylors I've watched lots of your videos looking for my first RC plane and I think I've figured out the question I want to ask most. What's the best, cheapest SAFE RTF that has a great expert level for me to grow into? So many people comment on how squirrely and unusable many are in expert mode. Thanks!
So I ordered this plane and got it yesterday. Flew nice for a second then lost in a light breeze. In hindsight I think if I put it into advanced mode maybe the motor would have made enough power to get it back. This was the first rc plane I’ve ever bought but I have a good understanding of flight controls as I’m in process of getting my ppl. Being in Buffalo NY there is always a little breeze coming off the lake. Is there another slightly heavier more powerful plane you can recommend for use in light winds? Possibly something that uses the same remote?
Buy the AeroScout!
Nice flying Abby. Maybe you should have mentioned that the plane is under .5 pounds and the implication of that stat. Also, it is a plane, according to the promo video, that can be flown in a large yard or small park - no need to find a flying field and join a club.
Hey Abbey can you snap roll it pull the sticks down diagonally ?
This would be a fun plane to try a snap roll on 👍⚓😎
@@TheRcSaylors do it going up vertical if your not confident
That's a really great tip! 😎
Is it brushed motors?
Yes, this uses a brushed motor.
I just bought two S2s for my dad and I. We're both new to RC flying, and it will be a few weeks until I get out to see him. Should I open mine up and practice ahead of time? Or just wait and try to learn together?
It's already on backorder
Early squad where you guys at (:
Nate or Abby how long will it take tell I feel comfortable about upgrade to faster planes Thank you from Ohio.
What's the flight time on a full charge?
1 1/2 minutes
@@rm25088 what!?
Mines 5+
Lucky I can barely get 1 minute
@@rm25088 get a new battery, I recommend a 500 milAmp you need to cut a little foam out to fit it but it can fly for 10-15 minutes
I have the old one but I wasn't impressed as a beginner I recommend the UMX Timber I have the Turbo model and love it
I do not know if it helps you out if a use your link but i did and got mine in mail today can not wait to try to fly it be my first time
Get speed up before the roll and if you W
want a do a inside circle ruder and elevator needed for perfect just remember Abbey hight is your friend
what is the maximum distance can I move the plane away with the original transmitter
Can you use the FlySky FS-i6 with the BNF version?
I'm not sure if FlySky can bind to DSMX radio protocols?
@@TheRcSaylors I will search for that. Thanks for the honest response. One of the reasons I love you guys. ALWAYS honest! Maybe I will just get a DX 6e. That will work right? I am on a budget.
B Diddy You would need to replace the receiver with a FlySky one (which kind of defeats the purpose) to use that transmitter.
The DX6e would work fine. Horizon Hobby actually suggests that one in their completion guide for the BNF version. Alternately, you could go with the RTF version if you aren’t ready to invest in a more advanced transmitter, charger, etc. or don’t plan on owning a fleet of Spektrum-based (DSMX/DSM2) models.
@@chadpollman7970 Yeah. I found out that FlySky does not work with any planes that need Spektrum BNF. SO I might get a DX6 E. FlySky is great for all other planes because FllySky is 50 bucks! But. I think a DX6 e is the way to go now for me. I want the option to buy BNF to save money over all. I am very very new to the hobby. BUt BNF over all is worth it. Oh. The FlySky is good for PNP though. Thanks!
I have the sport cub S, will the transmitter supplied with a sport S2 to work with a sport S? And conversely can I use my sport S transmitters if I buy a sport S to plan only?
I just subscribed to your channel after watching a few of your videos. Great work! I ordered the Sport Cub S 2 the other day and it should be here tomorrow (4/30/2020). I've tried a couple of RC planes in the past and didn't have much luck, but this plane sounds like it is a good one for beginners. Thanks for all the videos!
Follow-up 5 May 2020: I took my Sport Cub S 2 our for the first time this morning since the wind appeared to be pretty calm. However, by the time I made it outside the wind had picked-up a little... I decided to give it a go anyway and everything went great. I had to hand-launch the plane since the grass in the area was just a tad too high for a ground launch. I flew the plane for about five minutes, until the wind got a little too unruly. When I made my final landing it was with full power-off into the wind and the plane was hovering like a hawk until it gently touched-down almost like a helicopter would. ZERO mishaps and no damage to the plane which is always great!
I took my Sport Cub S2 our again this morning and flew it in some very light wind. Once, I flew it right into a small dead tree and there was no damage to the plane. I was pretty surprised because the plane hit the tree pretty fast! I also had a couple of nose-dives into the ground but had zero damage to the plane. I'm getting better in beginner mode and have even tried the intermediate setting a couple of times. So far, so good!
@@johnbrown8059 Good deal Im really thinking about getting one myself How much did it coast after shipping etc ? Glad to hear ya had a good time flying It's a rush to me especially when I'm flying my $300 plane that I built 25% my self LOL That may not sound like allot of $ or work but for me it is When ya bash $300 into a tree you'll understand more as you see all your hard work in splinters LOL It's pretty heart breaking but fun as hell at the same time 😂🤣😁 ✌️
@@EJ-74 I think mine cost around $150.00 total with shipping costs. I clicked on the link provided in this article and bought it from Horizon Hobbies.
I've also ordered some extra batteries and extra chargers, which were all pretty cheap. I recently bought an AeroScout S 1.1m RTF plane from Horizon and I've been totally thrilled with it so far! It handles much better in the wind and has a LOT more power. (Of course, it uses bigger batteries.) The total cost for the AeroScout was around $225.00 and it came with a battery, controller, charger, etc.
@@johnbrown8059 Cool thanks for the reply Yeah I think im going to go with something a little bigger I live in NC and its pretty much always wind around here How big is the AeroScout wingspan? Im looking for something around $150 $200 3 to 4 foot wingspan if possible ✌️
Luv this plane... can y'all get ur hands on the kaiju from red cat i bet u will like it...
Thanks you guys i like watching you on TH-cam im realy interested in buying a beginers plane i have mot flown before but im interested to get started
I flew mine to high & lost it. I a little wind & it took it quick. got so high i could't see which direction it was even going.
pretty sure it crossed the river. had to let it go. to far away.
Is it 3 or 4 channel ?
It's a 4 channel plane with ailerons but really it's like a 5 channel set up with the flight modes switch 👍⚓😎
So what exactly is telemetry and what is the difference between this and the non telemetry ? Thanks guys 😊
You guys are awesome at flying those things I can't fly them very well you guys should try the danchee ridgerock it's a redcat racing brand and its 1:10 scale and it's only $120 look it up you guys it's on Amazon.
I really want one of these
Almost any usb socket,usually 5 volts.
Do the propellers break off when landing or hitting trees ect? My previous planes propellers would always break when landing.
So i have a ?, I just got this plane and love it, fun flyer! I have some Eflight 200mah 1S 3.7V 30C Li-Polymer Batt from a Blade MCP X Micro Helicopter. Can i use these battery's with this airplane?
Semper Fi 🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸
We love you Abby, but please learn right hand turns. lol Please !
Hold up! Marshall Majorette? Marshall University? Happen to be flying at Tri-State Model Flyers?
Lol, yeah 😁⚓
I'm a beginner with no fling time. Thinking of buying that model. 🤔 where to find for $99. ??
To Jack, UK cost ,in May this year was £156 including one extra battery.
What is the flight time of this plane ?
And how long does it take to charge te battery?
In beginner mode, my sport cub s 2 doesn't go down - even though its fully trimmed. I lost it once because it just kept going higher and higher, but found it. Before I go out again, is this normal - whenever I press up on the stick it just doesn't descend. Is it because I am in beginner mode?
great plane just got it from bangood always alot cheaper there for some reason ? great video as always
