How to bind your DX6i with your Sport Cub: • How To Bind Spektrum D...
The Sport Cub S2 is an amazing RC plane. If you're a beginner pilot looking for a 4-channel plane to learn on, the Sport Cub is one of the best! Even advanced pilots will enjoy the ease of flying this rc plane because they know with a flip of a switch, it can quickly turn into an acrobatic flier. What sets it apart is the "SAFE" technology which basically helps keep the plane flying level when you ease up on the controls (as long as you have enough power). As you'll see from the video, it's almost as if the plane flies itself.
It is advertised as "FPV ready" and all that really means is that it can carry a small camera/transmitter set up. If you're planning on flying FPV with the Sport Cub S then I highly recommend getting the BNF version and buying the DX6i transmitter for a better range.

I bought myself one of these for Christmas. I went out to our local park that happens to have a decent R/C field. I met an old friend there that helped me trim it out and manually adjust rudder. This thing is the most fun I have had since I was a teenage kid (46 now). I flew through 2 battery chargers and ran out of daylight waiting on the 3rd charge. I would say I am hooked since I have been waking up all night waiting for daylight so I can go back! Have 4 more batteries on the way with multi port charger so I get more fly time.
Thanks for the comment. It's a fun plane that you don't have to stress about crashing.
Erik Summer - Well I went out of beginner mode and even to advanced mode too quickly! I saved it a few times with panic button which works well if you are not too low. After getting too brave one more time, I did a nose dive and busted fuselage up! I was able to repair in field while recharging battery. Then the wind picked up and knowing I should go home I proceeded to stick it in the top of a pine tree about 50 feet up! After 2.5 hours and a fishing rod, I finally got her down safely! I am hooked to say the least!
This video had helped me more than any plane video just being able to watch that transmitter
I notice most people taking off with RC planes (especially tailwheel) let it swerve left and then correct it after they are airborne. There are 4 forces trying to turn your plane left as you takeoff and they can mostly be corrected with a little right rudder. 1)torque 2)P-factor 3)gyroscopic precession and 4)spiraling slipstream. Anytime your are at high relative power and slow relative airspeed these 4 left turning tendencies are more pronounced. As you push the throttle forward, roll in some right rudder.
Thanks for the very detailed advice. Well said! You definitely sound like a pilot.
I bought one of these and it's an amazing little plane. I never flew a plane before and this has taught me sooo much and it's super fun. Love it (-:
Great vid mate!
+Jax Teller RC Thank you!
Erik Summer
No worries (0:
Really helpful video for us beginners, especially the view of the sticks. Thanks.
you have some very calm or no wind there bc this bird is very light and you need that to fly like this. thanks for sharing bud
Im ordering one dude I been flying quadcopters and helicopters for a while your video just gave me the go ahead!! great review
Fun video nice explanation of what this plane can do , I am out of flying for 15 yrs and need a trainer , I just ordered this plane thanks --I'm 68 so it's not too late to get hi again !
I bought this plane for my 9 year old daughter, she Flys it with no problem, it's super fun, and came with 3 extra batteries. About 6 minutes flight time on each one, it's pretty much impossible to crash.
I love this video. It's so relaxing and your location is beautiful I have this same plane and I love to fly it. I'm a noob so I fly in beginner mode and it's so easy. Keep the vids coming!
Nice video! I like the Sport Cub S as (ESPECIALLY in my case!) the beginner mode is great to start flying.
Nice video! We are really lucky to have this kind of plane available for beginners (or anyone who wants to slow fly in a tight space) these days. Even just 20 years ago i had to teach myself with a 2 channel plane which was actually a 6' span motor glider. Looked intimidating but was a gentle giant. Was an adventure i will treasure but this little cub would have made it all so much easier for me and i think i would have accumulated more flying hours in less time. Sadly the wings of the motor glider eventually folded whilst teaching my brother to fly but again, had we had this Cub then that would not have happened. Some lucky people are going to find one of these under the Christmas tree this year i am sure!
Really good for a beginner like me to see the two camera view, with what you actually do with the radio while flying! Excellent! Music... oh well, I could do without it...
Very good video, you did great on your flying. We love it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sweet video. I have one, too. This is my first plane, I have only flown it once (6 batteries worth of flight time), its been too windy around here since, but the one time I flew it, it as easy and fun. I bought the simulator, RealFlight 8, to practice on. The one time I flew it, I took off in Beginner mode, then flipped the switch into Intermediate to have tighter turns. I did try Expert and did couple barrel rolls and flips, but chickened out and went back to Intermediate mode. I landed it in Beginner mode, I discovered it was pretty important to keep the cub in front of me, because I'm an above the knee right leg amputee, in a wheelchair, and can't turn around quickly enough to follow it. The only time It crashed was when I was flying it toward me and let it go over my head, past me. It hit a stand of pine trees about about 15 feet high, tumbled to the ground and was fine - I had cut the power as it flew past me. After I retrieved it, it took off and flew again. I'm looking forward to flying it again, when the winds die down a bit. I have since bought the Mini Apprentice S and am awaiting its arrival. I heard that the Mini Apprentice is another nice plane for beginners, like me. Being a bigger plane, I'm looking forward to it.
Looking at the mini apprentice myself! How is it?
Great vid ! Just flew mine yesterday for the first time, and love it !
Great video, I have both the sportcub, and carbon z cub, and love them both. Just got the z so haven't flown it, but have flown the sportcub for a year, and use a HK wingcam. I had a supercub and got it stuck in a tree, when I got to it someone took it. Good thing I bought the upgrades, but didn't install them. Anyway I've been looking at getting my five year old a plane as he is flying a co-axial helium, and he wants a plane like papa's, and it's blue. Side note I wouldn't have my kids trying to catch planes, it's a no-no with the AMA, and I have to remind mine even with the wind up ones.
Awesome vids! Keep up the great work! 😃👍
@eriksummer
I love the video man. I just wish you would have done it with FPV. A lot of people think these are expensive toys and depending on how they are used they are.
The video was great. I can only imagine how much more fun and competitive it would be to have adults run after the plane. There was recently a quadcopter or multirotor that dropped drugs in a prison in Texas. And the guards were ordered not to shoot it down for fear of deflection.
But I have to say this is a great hobby if used non violently and as long as you get the ones that look fun I don't see anyone having a problem with it. The only problem is that people today are out there to do harm to others reps. And its just sad. But keep up the videos. Great to see you and the family enjoying the same activities.
I love this Rc Plane ❤️
i have this plane. i had it for about 2 years. and still doing strong. it has crashed several times but i only needed 1 piece of tape. defenetly a recomender.
Having a great time with this plane. Regarding transmitter batteries for a dx4e are envelop rechargeable's ok ? They are only 1.2 volts not 1.5 , I wonder about low voltage cut out set at 4.7 volts. , thx
Excellent video Erick......Thanks for sharing!!!
I have DX6i transmitter to. I can hear that you change a switch before doing a roller and loops, what switch is?? Elev D/R from 0 to 1? Flaps switch? , AIL D/R? or RUDD D/R? or i need change from 0 to 1 all the switches? Thanks again!!!
awesome flying
Hi, Nice video man! I bought this plane recently & was wondering about binding in beginner mode? Because, if i take-in out of beginner, while i am on the ground the aileron's move slightly and so do the rudder, elevator??? My first Sport Cub S, did the same thing?
Are you able to fly this Plane in the BNF Version with the Flysky FS-I6?
PS: Great Video
Looks much easier to fly than my quad. Might look into getting one of these instead of more quads.
dheller777 Quads are way easier considering you can land vertically. With a plane you have to try to land it and not in a tree.....
Hey Erik. You make it look so easy. I had my first flight today. With full throttle the plane got vertical and stalled in beginner mode. How to prevent that?
EXCELLENT CONFIDENCE VIDEO FOR LANDING THIS PLANE...5 *****S...
love your vids
In other videos of this plane they get the readymade transmitter.plz tell me i want to buy it....
nice video
I just bought this plane , but its the middle of winter in the Midwest . since I wont be trying it out for awhile I'm watching a lot of videos. I like your video the best so far.my question isn't about the plane but whose doing the sound track for your video? love it, it works in perfect.
Thanks. It's "Larger than life" by Pink Zebra
Hey guys, I just got the RTF. Version of this plane with the RTF remote and it is not pairing to the plane at all. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
Looks like a nice plane but would be boing for an expericence pilot
Is that a golf course you are flying at? How long is the grass? I really am bummed out about hand launching. Feels like cheating. Gave up on the Champ. Waiting for a Sport Cub S to be delivered.
Jerry Hillman It is a golf course so the grass is pretty short. I'm guessing the grass where I take off/land is around 1/2" . The wheels are pretty small so you'd need short grass!
I am 63 and I loved the music. Who was it
For same reason my plane goes all over the plane it’s always either Nose heavy or tail heavy can you give give me some tips I will try using my own radio instead of the one that come with RTF
Nice video.
Can you teach us how to programming Dx6i to be able to have 3 modes as same as on transmitter in RTF version, please.
The operators manual for SCS has detailed instructions on how to program the DX6i so you can select any of the three modes.
Can this plane do aerobatic maneuvers
This is a great plane, super fun, I have one slight problem though, I can't get this thing to stop stalling out, I'm not sure what it is as I have flown in absolutely still weather and it still stalls for me, any ideas??
+Ph34s4nt I had the same problem. Even with full elevator down trim it still wanted to nose up and linger on a stall if I had less than 50% throttle. I took some needle nose pliers and gently pinched the elevator rod (right where the "U" bend is) so I could actually get the nose to go down. This will make your plane a lot faster so be careful. I think it flies better but a beginner pilot might not like the extra speed. I can see why it was designed this way. It keeps beginner pilots from flying too fast and crashing. True, it does stall more if you don't keep the throttle up, but it does make this plane very easy to fly since it seems to always want to climb.
+Erik Summer I will try it as soon as I can, thank you!
+Erik Summer just to make sure, do you mean that you pinched the U bend closed? If not, what kind of "pinch"
I know exactly what it is. Mine did the same thing. Ur battery is to far back move it all the way forward to make more weight in nose.
How many minutes of flight time do you average with the 150mAh 1S battery?
If you fly conservatively, you'll around 8 mins per battery. If you’re flying full throttle and doing tricks, you’ll get 5 mins. These little batteries are cheap and easy to carry so you’ll want to get more than one.
I have the Hobby zone Champ plane with a DSM2 controller.
Can I use that controller to fly the Sport Cub S ?
Or do you have to buy the Ready to Fly version and get
the controller with the extra switches for
the "panic button" and the select a level switch for beg, int, or advanced ?
Does that one have a switch in the back? I'm pretty sure it'll work but if you don't have the extra channel switch, it can only be flown in beginners mode. Which basically limits your control inputs to help keep the plane stable in flight.
thanks, I went ahead and bought the
ready to fly (with transmitter) today.
It has the extra channel controls built
on the transmitter.
I think so
How about a video that shows from placing battery to 1st flight? For beginners like myself. I've seen hundreds of videos but nothing for 1st timers.
hey erik,, just got the plane with the included transmitter and I love it. but I'm not sure about the functions of the dual rate button.can you help? thanks
It will switch from beginner, intermediate and advanced.
In beginner mode, you'll be limited to making very slight pitch, roll, and yaw. As long as you have enough power the plane shouldn't stall and will almost fly itself. The AS3X will keep the plane level when you let go of the controls.
Intermediate will give you more control authority and will still auto level.
Advanced will have no auto level and will give you full control to do 3D flight. The AS3X will still smooth out bumps in the air but won’t level itself out unless you manually hit the switch.
Hi Great video.
I just bought the RTF version with the control included. Just wondering if the dx6 gives greater range than the standard controller or is range limited to the planes receiver? also have you had to replace a motor ? If yes how did you remove it from the gearbox with out disturbing the gearbox mount into the foam? Cheers mate.
+G Kesbah The dx6 will give better range, but the included remote will work fine. You'll notice it cutting out and that'll be your range. I noticed around 250 feet on the included transmitter. The good thing about the Sport Cub is when it cuts out, it flies so slow and stable that it shouldn't be much of a problem. Or better yet, have a friend walk away with it while you hold the transmitter and you can determine your range that way. I've never replaced the motor. If you do, you will have to replace the gearbox/motor together since they're glued together. My gear has popped out after crashing but I've always been able to just push it back into place. Here's a video showing what it looks like inside: ruclips.net/video/glCCbniUZII/видео.html
+Erik Summer Thx Erick , I bought my plane after watching your video. I became wheelchair disabled 8 years ago and lost the ability to all the sports i enjoyed before. This little plane has brought so much happiness and fun back into my life . I really like the soundtrack playing in your video. Is there a youtube link to this extended/blended version ? I would like to download it. It a really uplifting positive song.
+G Kesbah Hi, yes it's by pinkzebra - ruclips.net/video/LfJnmKre5D0/видео.html Also, if you like the Sport Cub S, you might like the UMX Radian, it's a micro glider and is a lot of fun to fly. It'll stay up for a long time and great for when you want to have a relaxing flight. Here's the video I did on the Radian glider: ruclips.net/video/6RN1FV0w3fE/видео.html
+Erik Summer Thx Eric , great song. I noticed in your radian review you were using the efliteMLP6DSM transmitter towards the end of the video. Was this the cheaper transmitter that randomly cut out? It is the same transmitter that came with my sport cub s and twice i lost all control while in expert mode setting up for a loop , the plane did a dive into the groud and panic button did not respond.. I am thinking of buying a more powerful transmitter but the dx6i is a little bulky and heavy for my weak hands. I have been looking at a dx4e transmitter and wonder if you think a dx4e would give greater range and less likely to cut out compared to the Eflite MLP6 dsm ?? apppreciate your advice.
+G Kesbah I see a lot of people using the neck straps to take the weight off the transmitter, this one is $5 amzn.to/1RHe1el Yes the DX4E would be a big step up. My eflite MLP6DSM worked fine for flying close and slow. I'm not sure if it was interference but it would cut out for a split second several times each flight, which usually isn't a problem if you're cruising slow. Most of the time you wouldn't notice it unless you're pulling aerobatics, at which point I'd upgrade to the DX4E or the DX6i.
I want to get one but cant find any in Canada online, all are us and charge way too much for shipping and border fees
Can you put a full radio control description
Does it come with dx6i setup instructions?? And what are the average flight times??
+Ben Pyka Here are the dx6i instructions: ruclips.net/video/XHgIhxa0-zc/видео.html My flight times were around 8 minutes. If you're doing a lot of aerobatics then closer to 6 minutes.
The operators manual for the SCS has complete step by step instructions how the program the DX6i so that you can have all three flight modes.
I got mine today and I haven't touched the rudder at all, is this a bad habit or is there little point when there are ailerons? I've also noticed I kept bumping the switch and flew most of my first flight in intermediate.
fragmen52_ The AS3X system will actually add some rudder automatically which helps with turns. It's not a badhabit as long as you're not working your way up to more advanced planes. I have a p51 Mustang that needs rudder in a turn or else the tail slips and it takes forever to turn. If you’re sticking with easy to fly park fliers then
rudder wont be that important.
Will this bnf model work with a DX5e?
Are those white triangles on the landing gears in the front necessary?
No, they're mostly for scale looks.
I just got a RTF sport cub, and I noticed that the throttle and rudder are on the left stick, and the airleron and elevators are on the right stick. Is this normal?
Yes, a.ka. "Mode 2" it's the most popular set up here in the US. If it doesn't feel natural to you, it might be possible to switch to mode 1 with the RTF transmitter but it'll take a little programming.
QUESTION: Is the RC for the RTF version Spektrum-compatible? If I buy the RTF version, can I use the RC that comes with it to also fly a UMX Radian??? (The UMX Radian is a BNF plane).
I checked what it's compatible with and don't see the Radian listed. Here's what they say is compatible: Blade® 120, HobbyZone T-28 Trojan S, HobbyZone® Champ S+, Inductrix FPV, 180 QX HD and the Blade mCP S.
Thanks!!! I appreciate it.
Mark Romero It should work, these lists are often just examples.
Hi I forgot to ask if this plane is difficult to roll ?? I can do loops and inverted after a loop but find it hard to roll ?
+len allan It is difficult to roll. It needs a lot of nose up with plenty of speed and even then it struggles. Also it'll only do it in advanced mode. A good step up is the T-28 Trojan which is a little sportier: ruclips.net/video/mOrKivgy8qM/видео.html It uses the same batteries and pretty much the same electronics except it has no AS3X.
off subject but I bought a dx6 gen3 and I'm disappointed with the model downloads like this plane isn't in the downloads seems like they would have every plane n there like the blade sr not in there either for a quick download to transmitter. oh well just wanted to cry I know how to set up helis and planes just woulda been nice to have a quick model download then adjust It from that point on
Good video until the awful music started then I quit, how about commentary instead, much more useful.
I’m so new. So right is right when turning and left is left
Whats the song name when you were flying it?
Just bought my daughter one of these ,we`ve had it flying quite nicely,but I can`t seem to get it out of beginner mode.I have all the screens set up as per the instructions for the DX6i,but it doesn`t seem to affect the flight characteristics.Any chance of showing pictures of the setup screens?
Did you try the "gear/F mode" on the top left? That switch changed mine from Beginner mode to Full Control. That was the default settings after binding it, I didn't change any settings on my DX6i.
This might help: www.manualslib.com/manual/836383/Hobbyzone-Sport-Cub-S.html?page=5
Erik Summer thanks Erik,yes I did use the gear and f mode,plus the mix as per the manual.I'll take another look,my daughter is quite happy flying in beginner mode.
thanks for the prompt reply.
Do a unboxing of super cub
Is there an "oh crap" button on the spektrum controller?
+Ashley Craig Good question, by default the "oh crap" switch on the Dx6i is on the top left. (Flaps I think) What that'll do is when on, it'll limit your flying so you don't over bank or pull up/down too much. And when you let go of the controls, the gyro will return the plane to level flight (assuming you have enough power applied). Just make sure to keep up the throttle and the plane will be super stable in calm winds.
If you switch it off, it will only fly with AS3x, which basically corrects for bumps in the air and will let you take full control of the airplane.
Would this plane work with my Tactic TTX650 radio?
It's not easy but it's possible. It's currently out of stock, but this is what you'll need to get it to talk to "BNF" DSMX/DSM2 planes like the Sport Cub S - hobbyking.com/en_us/orangerx-dsmx-dsm2-compatible-2-4ghz-diy-transmitter-module.html
hey can u plz tell me can i bind this plane to a taranis qx7 if so i need help plz binding it
It won't work. Your transmitter needs DSMX
should I get the Apprentice or the Sport Cub S?
They are both easy planes to fly but the Apprentice is much larger! I went with the Sport Cub S because I can fly it almost anywhere. The problem with the Apprentice is you would need a larger field and I'd be much more nervous about hitting someone with the Apprentice vs. the Sport Cub S. Plus I love how cheap the batteries are for the Cub. You can keep flying over and over with just a few batteries that cost less than $10 each.
I'd get the Apprentice. The Sport Cub is really meant for flying indoors or outside on a really calm day with zero wind. If you actually want to learn how to fly, you need a bigger plane that can handle some wind. Otherwise the weather will never cooperate.
i have a dx5e radio. How would the modes work?
Ricardo O I'm pretty sure the switch on the top left will activate full SAFE mode, intermediate, and advanced. Does your switch have 3 positions?
it does but it only feels like there is two positions, but thank you for answering my question
we just got one today me and my dad
+Colt Janes Awesome! Just make sure your first flight is in calm weather and away from trees!
hey i just want to ask what is this plane made out of
It's pretty much all foam with reinforcements in the wing. Most smaller rc planes are made of foam because of its combination of strength and weight.
ok
It's made (literally) of egg carton foam for the wings and control surfaces, and a basic styrofoam for the fuselage. Very flimsy.
Amarion Dawson Foam, but it doesn't get damaged easily.
Would the dx5 work for the sport cub s?
Yes it will :)
How do I pair my controlled to fly with it?
What controller are you using? If it's the one that came with the RTF version then follow these steps. 1. On a flat level surface, turn on the plane. 2. Turn the controller on (with throttle full down) bring the throttle to full then back down to zero. 3. You should see the blinking red light turn solid red inside the plane. Make sure the controller is around 3 feet from the plane, not too close and not too far away.
How many channels are there?
+Justin lloyd This is a 4 channel with tail wheel steering.
thanks
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF SPORT CUB RC PLANE
+Ajmal Rana The BNF or "bind and fly" is $100 if you have a transmitter already. Or the ready to fly version is $130 and you can get it here - amzn.to/1dGK6Ws
steering the plane is easy, but keep it in focus with the cam is hard!
How were you able to fly on a golf course? Nobody playing that day? Did you have to ask permission before you went there? Just wondering cause I just couldn't imagine being able to do that around here. They would call the cops for sure. I hope to be able to fly at a football field or baseball field when no one else is around. Good luck with that.
I only fly my micro planes over there and only after the last golfer has left the course. I'd never go out there while people are playing. No one has ever complained because I'm very respectful of the course and people. Plus this one turns into a park at sunset. Lots of dog frequent the course so I'm the least of their worries. I'll take my bigger planes to flying fields. You wouldn't think so, but there are a ton of trees here in Arizona, making it tricky to find a good spot to fly.
How do you turn it on please let me know
kelsey moore There's no "on/off" switch on the plane. When you plug in your battery, the plane will turn on and bind with your remote.
thank you so much it helped a lot.
Please........that ?....Music! The rest was great!
how well can it fly in Wind ?
+ST Logan Pretty well considering how light and small it is. The AS3X and the large control surfaces do a good job at correcting for gusty winds. If you turn the AS3X off, you'll notice a big difference in how it handles wind. I've flown it in winds around 10 mph, any more than that and it gets sketchy!
Erik Summer excellent ,that is good to hear ..now i am getting one for sure ...thanks
+Erik Summer Out of the box the Sport cub is going crazy in the wind, This is my second sport cub that I own and both are going nuts in the air with very very small wind. I was wondering if both are defects and if you could tell me how to turn on and off as3x, maybe it would fi it
You can not turn off the AS3X, it is always active, no matter what mode (beginner/intermediate/advanced) you are in.
Yes, it just throughout the modes, it limits the 'override' of AS3X
Yep all good ontill the music had to turn off,.
Can only land on good surface.weighs 2 oz.not good in a breeze.
i like the video but that plane is a little to slow for me
+Josh Hansen If you want something faster, you could go with the micro P51 - ruclips.net/video/PzEHFxPAW5Q/видео.html
I just got this plane, lost it within the first minute. Gust of wind made it fly with a mind of its own. Sad..
Whats with this music
it's a good rc plane but it doesn't deserve 129 dollars
Yeah it's really worth maybe $50
You're paying for the SAFE technology (basically a gyro that keeps it flying level) built into it. Yes, it's flimsy foam and does feel cheap but in a lot of ways it makes it more durable. For a small park flyer ready to run with a gyro system, $129 really isn't bad. The Sport Cub is amazingly easy to fly and while it can't handle a lot of wind, you really can't beat it if you're looking for something to fly in a small field.
If you were a beginner and I were to take out that SAFE tech,you would surely find a way to face plant it into the ground.
