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.
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 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 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!
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.
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 !
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.
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 RUclips... 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. 😊👍
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
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
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!!!
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.👫. 😊😊. ⚓⚓👍👍🌈💗🌈👍👍⚓⚓.
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!
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..
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).
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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!
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!
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 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 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?
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.
@@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!
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?
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 🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸
Howdy, so quick question, I bought this plane for my wife and I, I've flown before but it has been 10+ years since I touched a plane. Anyway she was flying and it hit the ground and now it seems like the elevator is getting stuck or hung up. It's a short pause when you pull up resulting a nose dive. Has anyone experienced this issue and is there a simple fix?
i realize this is an old question, but double check the servo motor gear cogs on the control board and make sure the cogs aren't getting snagged up. Do this after you ensure that the control rod isn't getting hung up on the side of the plane or something. Also check the control horn attached to the elevator.
Can you guys give me a suggestion? I bought this plane new and the batteries it came with don’t attach to the terminal on the plane. Is there a difference in batteries and did they give me the wrong one?
I just want to make this comment about the plane for potential future buyers. This plane is great I admit. But for those interested in getting for some BRAND NEW to the hobby I’d suggest a different plane. I bought this for my father in law on Christmas. He was so excited to fly an rc plane he’d always wanted one. He asked me to take the maiden voyage since I have time with drones just never a plane. I was able to fly it fairly well. There was very little wind but enough to push the plane upwards as it flys. He tried it and flew it straight into a tree. I got it out for him and let him try again. He flew it low for a little while but the low winds like to push the plane upwards. He got scared and wanted to bring it down and push the sticks down not realizing that down it up and once it flew high enough to lose controller signal (which wasn’t very high to me I think) it got full throttle and flew in a circle. But it never came back down just continued the circle. And as it did this the wind pushed it further and further away. I chased it about a mile before it flew behind some houses and thick forest that I’d never be able to get though. He was very disappointed to watch his new plane fly away. Long story short maybe find something that tries to fly back into range when it goes out of signal range. I hope the videos on the future show flight range and what it does when the plane loses signal. This was sad to watch a brand new plane disappear
@@maxmoffat3471 the remote that comes with the plane are like bare basic and bound to that plane. They aren’t the fancy ones. I’ve got one of those controllers you’re thinking of but I use that for my drones. Got all the switches and multiple channels and stuff

Wow that's a cool park flyer! Abby did an amazing job! Tricks and all!
Hey I just got my UMX Turbo Timber today!
I loved the challenge of trying to achieve negative ground speed with the horizon hobby UMX series. loved those planes
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.
Same happened to me, only I didn't get it back, it's so light and not too powerful to counter wind
Great job, Abby
Gotta get me one of those
It has a multi color for, “think of returning your plane” and red it’s, “land now”
I really like that plane,great video and awesome flying Abby
Thanks a lot Island!! 👍⚓😎
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.
Man Saylors you're killing my wallet! yes, just ordered this one.
Hey, this plane is truly worth every penny in our opinions! Happy Flying 👍😎⚓
Nice plane, great park flyer for sure
You two have way too much fun.. carry on.

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
Wait .... You have to remember stuff? Nuts! 😁
I got one for indoor fly, can’t wait to try it. I am used to a Conscendo Evolution at the club’s field, so I should be fine.
Where are you able to fly indoor?

@@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.
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.
Nice little airplane 😎 great job Abby looks awesome in the air 👌😎 videos
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
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.
The panic button is a gyroscope technical term hehe
No it's not. It's all on a circuit board. There is no gyroscope.
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!
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!
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!
I like it. Great flying Abbie. 👍✈️😊
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.
what is the maximum distance can I move the plane away with the original transmitter
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?
Thanks for a great and informative video! I will be ordering one tomorrow from Horizon Hobby.
Fantastic first plane !!!
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?
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.
What's the difference between this one and the first one?
Telemetry is the Main Difference 👍⚓😎
Love you guys super jealous lol
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!
Nate or Abby how long will it take tell I feel comfortable about upgrade to faster planes Thank you from Ohio.
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! 😎
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
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
It's already on backorder
I live in Vermont . Hope to be able to fly in May.
Is it brushed motors?
Yes, this uses a brushed motor.
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?
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 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
Luv this plane... can y'all get ur hands on the kaiju from red cat i bet u will like it...
To Jack, UK cost ,in May this year was £156 including one extra battery.
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.
Do the propellers break off when landing or hitting trees ect? My previous planes propellers would always break when landing.
So what exactly is telemetry and what is the difference between this and the non telemetry ? Thanks guys 😊
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 !
I'm a beginner with no fling time. Thinking of buying that model. 🤔 where to find for $99. ??
Thanks you guys i like watching you on RUclips im realy interested in buying a beginers plane i have mot flown before but im interested to get started
Very cool. 👍😁
I really want one of these
What is the flight time of this plane ?
And how long does it take to charge te battery?
Howdy, so quick question, I bought this plane for my wife and I, I've flown before but it has been 10+ years since I touched a plane. Anyway she was flying and it hit the ground and now it seems like the elevator is getting stuck or hung up. It's a short pause when you pull up resulting a nose dive. Has anyone experienced this issue and is there a simple fix?
i realize this is an old question, but double check the servo motor gear cogs on the control board and make sure the cogs aren't getting snagged up. Do this after you ensure that the control rod isn't getting hung up on the side of the plane or something. Also check the control horn attached to the elevator.
Almost any usb socket,usually 5 volts.
Hold up! Marshall Majorette? Marshall University? Happen to be flying at Tri-State Model Flyers?
Lol, yeah 😁⚓
Can you guys give me a suggestion? I bought this plane new and the batteries it came with don’t attach to the terminal on the plane. Is there a difference in batteries and did they give me the wrong one?
Early squad where you guys at (:
Can the RTF transmitter of the Sport Cub be used with the RealFlight Trainer Edition for Steam, do you know what Steam is?
Very nice flying Abbie
I just want to make this comment about the plane for potential future buyers. This plane is great I admit. But for those interested in getting for some BRAND NEW to the hobby I’d suggest a different plane. I bought this for my father in law on Christmas. He was so excited to fly an rc plane he’d always wanted one. He asked me to take the maiden voyage since I have time with drones just never a plane. I was able to fly it fairly well. There was very little wind but enough to push the plane upwards as it flys. He tried it and flew it straight into a tree. I got it out for him and let him try again. He flew it low for a little while but the low winds like to push the plane upwards. He got scared and wanted to bring it down and push the sticks down not realizing that down it up and once it flew high enough to lose controller signal (which wasn’t very high to me I think) it got full throttle and flew in a circle. But it never came back down just continued the circle. And as it did this the wind pushed it further and further away. I chased it about a mile before it flew behind some houses and thick forest that I’d never be able to get though. He was very disappointed to watch his new plane fly away.
Long story short maybe find something that tries to fly back into range when it goes out of signal range. I hope the videos on the future show flight range and what it does when the plane loses signal. This was sad to watch a brand new plane disappear
Does the plane come with a remote?
@@maxmoffat3471 mine came with one. You can get the option to get a plane without remote and you bind you own
@@T3CHNOskillz ok thank you was just wondering since the remotes are like 400$ 😅
@@maxmoffat3471 the remote that comes with the plane are like bare basic and bound to that plane. They aren’t the fancy ones. I’ve got one of those controllers you’re thinking of but I use that for my drones. Got all the switches and multiple channels and stuff
@@T3CHNOskillz what’s so much better about the expensive remotes?
