No other teach-yourself-to-fly airplane on the market offers as much as the HobbyZone Super Cub. Jam packed with features, it boasts incredible scale looks, 3-channel control, a ready-to-fly design, and X-Port expandability.
HobbyZone’s Innovative Anti-Crash Technology
The latest breakthrough in RC flight, Anti-Crash Technology™ (ACT) makes teaching yourself to fly easier and safer than ever before. With ACT, anyone can fly.
Here’s how it works:
Two sensors on the Super Cub.,one on the top and one on the bottom of the fuselage, monitor the position of the plane in relation to the ground. When the plane is flying level, the top sensor sees the sky, while the bottom sees the ground, and they tell the onboard computer that the plane is flying correctly. If the plane enters a dive and the sensors detect that the plane’s orientation is incorrect, the system will automatically correct the control inputs and help prevent the plane from crashing, allowing you time to regain control. ACT lets you fly without worry. And once you’ve gained experience with your Super Cub, you can turn ACT off for more complete control and increased maneuverability.
Two optical sensors, as part of the Anti-Crash Technology system, monitor the flight path of the plane. If the plane enters a dive, Anti-Crash Technology helps to pull the plane out of the dive.
HobbyZone Super Cub Features
- Unlike most planes for entry-level pilots, the HobbyZone Super Cub has realistic scale features that are appealing to those pilots who want a teach-yourself-to-fly product that looks like a real airplane
- A powerful 480 motor that offers great climb rate and power, and is more powerful than most motors on other teach-yourself-to-fly planes
- A 1.2A variable rate DC peak charger (HBZ1026)is included in the Kit. Please note that the international versions do not come with a wall charger.
- X-Port technology that allows pilots to use add-on accessories, such as the Aerial Drop Module
- Steerable tail wheel - allows pilots to more easily make turns while navigating on the ground, and makes takeoffs and landings more controlled
- Two flight modes - ACT can be left on or turned off to allow pilots to be able to learn with ACT and then fly without it, once experienced, to do more advanced aerobatic flying
- Steel wire pushrods provide more precise manipulation of the control surfaces for added responsiveness and a more durable control component
- Durable Z-Foam construction - an extremely durable foam that is lighter and stiffer than most foams, and allows the plane to fly truer and straighter out of the box. It is easily repairable with CA, and is the same material that is used in the F-27B Stryker and Typhoon 3D from ParkZone Detailed instruction manual and video CD educate pilots who are new to RC about flying, repairs, batteries, chargers, and replacement parts
- One-box purchase, so everything that's needed to get into the air is included, even AA batteries for the transmitter
- A ready-to-fly design that allows users to get in the air quickly after simply attaching the wing, tail and landing gear, and installing the rechargeable 7-cell 8.4V 1000mAh Ni-MH battery pack
- An easy-to-install, one-piece wing that provides incredible handling in the wind and smooth flight, and a conventional tail design
- A 3-channel radio system that makes it easier for pilots who are new to RC to teach themselves how to fly with a 3-channel airplane, thanks to ACT.
- Additionally, the third channel allows for pitch control so that pilots can make tighter turns and have a wider range of maneuvers, as well as the option to make pitch trim adjustments while the plane is in the air
The conventional tail design helps to make it easier for pilots to transition to other 3-channel aircraft once they have mastered basic flight with the Super Cub. The steerable tail wheel makes navigating on the ground easier.
The Super Cub has a realistic trim scheme - all the way down to the N number, which is used on full-scale aircraft.
Four black stripes are easy to see on the underside of the wing, and help determine the orientation of the plane while it's in flight.
