is the outer casing of the rudder/elevator control rod supposed to move with the inner one?

@@ChrisDaish-xw8xy I assumed it was a sheath and slid through. I bought new roads presuming I had glued them. The new ones did not slide freely, so it seems the rod and outer casing are one connected unit.

@@debbiewyler4048 Hey, thanks for that info, appreciate

I originally tried to use the incorrect (for the floats) brackets, but got it straightened out. Thanks for commenting!

Glad you got it assembled. I hope you enjoy flying it!

My bad, then it is not RFT (Ready-to-fly), it is almost-RTF. My AeroScout was RTF and came with everything you need to fly, including the battery and charger. Thanks for the info!

Weather here has kept me from flying as well. I hope you and your son enjoy the Carbon Cub (I love my AeroScout and fly it a ton). Thanks!

The Spektrum DXe / DXs (not sure which one yours came with but probably the DXs) can be bound to other planes with Spektrum receivers, but can only be bound to one plane at a time, whereas more expensive Spektrum transmitters (DX6, DX8, NX8, etc.) have internal memory and you can bind multiple planes and then select which one you are flying that day. So with the included transmitter you would need to do the bind process each time you switched to a different plane or back-and-forth between two or more planes.

Not sure I understand the question. I do not believe you can connect the included transmitter (probably the Spektrum DXs?) to a PC to run a simulator like RealFlight. I use my DX6 connected to my PC through a wireless adapter / dongle that I had to purchase separately. I am uncertain about the newer NX(6, 8, etc.) transmitters, I am sure you can connect to a PC but not sure if the dongle is required since they have WiFi, but it likely is required. I hope this information is somewhat helpful!

That is definitely not cool. I have often found them difficult to get in touch with, but their customer service has always been very good once you finally do. They absolutely need to do a better job and stop making reaching them so difficult. Try their chat function (when it is active / available), those guys are pretty knowledgeable, too. Best of luck getting things straightened out!

I am glad I could assist. Enjoy flying your Cub!

Sorry about the late response. I generally do manual adjustments to get the control surfaces as close as possible, then fine tune using the trim switches on the radio while in the air.

@@jack-of-all4535 No worries at all, thanks for your reply. Yeah, I think that what the instructions really mean to say is that after trimming in flight, and landing, mark where the control surfaces are. Then, center the trims, and mechanically adjust to put the control surfaces back where they line up with the marks. Now electrical neutral and flight neutral should be the same. We'll see 😁

That is a question for the manufacturer, lol. I agree, should have another number or a letter at the end.

I think you will enjoy it. Have fun flying!!

Sorry about the delay: this is the BNF (Bind-N-Fly) version which includes a Spektrum 4650 receiver with AS3X and SAFE. I bound it to my DX8 transmitter. The RTF version includes a DXS transmitter and a flight battery, which is a great option for only $50 more, especially if you do not already have a Spektrum compatible transmitter.

Much appreciated!

Fantastic! Glad I could be of assistance. Enjoy flying your Carbon Cub!

Have it together and flying yet? I hope so! Have fun!

Thanks for the comment! I intended this assembly video for people who were new to the hobby and wanted to explain some concepts as I went. This one (as I find most do) had a few "gotchas", lol. Someone with a good bit of experience could assemble this plane in under 30 minutes, but I agree with you - take your time, check your work, make sure everything is correct so you can have a good experience and a great maiden flight.

It kind of is; I had to remove it to bind it to my receiver - the binder extension cable they sent with it did not work! Fortunately, it will fit in my CR-V with the wings attached.

Thanks for the question, Gary. Yes, I am still using my DX8. If I were purchasing today, I would probably go with the NX series, mainly for the WiFi connectivity (when I attempted to upgrade firmware on my DX8 last year using the SD card slot, I got a "hardware fault" which required me to send it in for service - very frustrating). However, I am not sure that I will purchase the NX series anytime soon, so long as my DX8 still works. I hope you enjoy your DX8!

@@jack-of-all4535 thanks for your response....just got my DX8 yesterday and now going through the manual trying to find any major differences / upgrades from my DX6 and except for the extra switches , I am not finding any...thanks again

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!

Great info, make sure they are not backwards. 👍

They were going too slow. Keep up your speed in a turn! And UP elevator (a bit) also.

I was using the wrong plastic retainers, lol. Another commenter straightened me out a while back. Thanks!

You are right, they break easily. Flying without them.

Glad to be of service. I think you will enjoy flying the Carbon Cub. I appreciate the comment!

Not sure if you mean my video or the Carbon Cub S2, lol. Thanks for commenting!

Your channel. Do you plan on making any more videos soon

@@alfiecox6946 Thank you so much! I have several videos filmed, but I get bogged down in editing. I will try to "get it together" and upload new videos soon. Thanks again!

All four sets of vortex generators appear to be the same to me. Perhaps I am incorrect? Thank you for commenting!

That is tough to answer; there are several small gray plastic pieces and I do not know which one you are referencing. There are a couple small pieces that are only used when you purchase and install the optional floats, could it be one of those?

That is awesome, Speedy Muffin! I am so glad that you found my video helpful. Have you had a chance to fly it yet? Here is my maiden flight: ruclips.net/video/vMpNzbYKDrU/видео.html. Welcome to RC flying!

@@jack-of-all4535 Yes i have had my maiden! it was on a baseball field so it was probably worst maiden ever, because there was a dugout on one side, trees on the other and then a big net on the other side so it was very hard to land, BUT after soccer one day I made a second maiden and it was awesome flying because it was a bunch of soccer fields together so I had loads of space!

@@Tommy06235 Fantastic, sounds like you found a good place to fly. Have fun!

Thanks, Josh. Someone else pointed that out to me and I changed them. so they now fit perfectly. Much appreciated!

I am glad you enjoyed it! I am way behind on editing, but hope to get some new videos posted soon. Thank you!

I have not myself; I did take the wheels off and replaced them with prototype 3D printed skis - first attempt went pretty well, I redesigned the skis and reprinted, but now all the snow has melted, lol. Post again if you do put on larger/softer wheels and let me know how that goes.

I am sorry you are having difficulty with your Carbon Cub S2. I agree about the receiver being installed with double-sided tape, they could definitely offer a better solution. I did not purchase the GPS, so I do not have experience installing it to assist you. I agree that Horizon's chat has not seemed to work lately; it used to work and the representative's were very helpful. I also do not know why it is (at least nearly) impossible to find a support phone number on their website. That said, near the end of the manual (I just pulled up the version from their website, top of page 35) you can find the email address (productsupport@horizonhobby.com) and phone number (877-504-0233; you can probably also use 800-338-4639). If you call, use the menu prompts for support from a RC plane specialist. You used to have to wait on hold for over an hour to speak with someone, but they recently implemented a call back service, so if prompted, I recommend selecting that option, you will be called back without losing your place in line. Although it is a process, Horizon's support specialists have always been very helpful. I just used that call back option a few days ago: I needed a rather obscure battery adapter and called to make sure I could order one that would work with my charger and the batteries - the fellow I talked with was great! In fact, when I commented that the adapter (about $9) would not qualify for free shipping (I am a member of their rewards program) and that it would take 7-10 days to arrive, he helped me find the exact product on Amazon (it was a couple dollars more on Amazon, but as a Prime member it was shipped free in two days). Most companies would not have taken that extra step. Please give that a shot, once you get someone on the phone I think you will be pleased with how helpful they are. Reply again and let me know how it goes. Thanks!

@@jack-of-all4535 Thank you for the very helpful directions and advice on using Horizon Hobby support. I did eventually figure out how to install and use the GPS, then removed it after hearing horror stories of the GPS flying the plan through trees while “returning it to you safely”. For some fields it is probably a nice safety net, bu not for mine...

@@bendrixbailey1430 Between the GPS and the wrong setup in the templet supplied in the NX6 radio I crashed two of these. When the error in their templet was discovered by support and corrected the plane flew well. I threw the GPS away. My only complaint was when I asked if they were going to make it right since it was their radio that caused the crashes they ghosted me. The support person has totally ignored my emails. There was no name calling or finger pointing. They just won't stand behind their products in this case.

Johnny, I replied to your comment on my assembly video as well (thanks for watching!): the Carbon Cub S2 is beautiful and one of the most scale looking RC planes out there. My uncle, who flies glow fuel RCs, fell in love with mine and bought one (his first electric, woo-hoo!). I am also a big fan of the Timber line - the original Timber, which is my personal favorite, is no longer available, but check out the Turbo Timber; I just got one myself, but due to weather have not had a chance to maiden it yet. Looking forward to Spring flying season! Have fun!

www.horizonhobby.com/product/float-set-super-cub-lp-carbon-cub-s/HBZ7390.html there are the floats :) sry this is a year later :(

She is a beauty - very scale looking. In some of the photos / video I have taken, it looks like a full-scale airplane. If you do not already have a Spektrum transmitter, the RTF version does make good sense. In addition to the transmitter, you get a flight battery and charger. Enjoy!

Sorry, was away and missed your comment / question. I hope the assembly went well! A few people commented that I installed the vortex generators incorrectly on the left wing, but they were the same no matter which way I turned them, lol, and it flies quite well. Let me know how your experience went.

It went well! Thank y oh so much

Should have had vortex gens facing the other way.
