HobbyZone Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Cleetus McFarland Special Edition RTF Basic RC Airplane
Description:
The HobbyZone® Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Cleetus McFarland Special Edition blends the proven performance of the best-selling Carbon Cub S 2 with the unmistakable color scheme of Cleetus McFarland’s full-scale CubCrafters Carbon Cub. A well-known automotive and aviation YouTuber, Cleetus McFarland has been connected to HobbyZone aircraft since the early days of his channel, with one of his first videos in 2009 featuring a HobbyZone Super Cub on floats. Since then, he has owned and flown numerous Carbon Cub models, making this Special Edition a natural collaboration.
Designed to help nearly anyone learn to fly, this scale aircraft is equipped with Horizon Hobby’s exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology. SAFE® reduces the risk of overcontrol and loss of orientation, allowing new pilots to build confidence quickly while still giving experienced flyers room to grow. The durable EPO airframe houses a powerful and efficient brushless motor, a telemetry-capable ESC, and factory-installed flight electronics including the receiver, flight controller, and servos.
Oversized tundra-style tires and a steerable tailwheel give the Carbon Cub S 2 excellent ground handling and allow takeoffs and landings from a wide range of surfaces such as asphalt, grass, dirt, and gravel. For even greater versatility, optional floats (sold separately) can be installed to enable water operations. Pilots can also upgrade the aircraft with optional SAFE Plus® GPS-based features and the Landing Assist Sensor (LAS), further simplifying flight and landings. Whether you’re brand new to RC aviation or looking for a highly capable and forgiving scale trainer, this Special Edition Carbon Cub offers exceptional versatility and ease of use.
HobbyZone® aircraft are engineered to make learning to fly approachable and enjoyable, even for those with no prior RC experience. Every model is designed with advanced technology and thoughtful engineering to support pilots as they progress at their own pace. The Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Cleetus McFarland Special Edition exemplifies this philosophy, offering a smooth and confidence-inspiring flight experience from the first takeoff.
SAFE® technology allows pilots to choose between Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced flight modes instantly, tailoring the aircraft’s response to skill level. Panic Recovery can be activated at any time to return the model to stable flight with the push of a button. The rugged landing gear and oversized tires expand the number of locations where you can fly, while optional floats add the freedom to operate from water.
A 30-amp telemetry-enabled ESC provides real-time power system data such as battery voltage, motor RPM, and current to compatible Spektrum™ transmitters. The system can also display approximate remaining battery power through LED indicators on the included DXS transmitter. Pilots may further enhance the aircraft with optional SAFE Plus® GPS features like AutoLand, Virtual Fence, and Holding Pattern, as well as the Landing Assist Sensor for smoother, more consistent landings.
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes nearly everything required to get airborne—excluding only the battery and charger—making it an excellent choice for beginners and those seeking maximum convenience. A Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic version is also available for pilots who prefer to use their own Spektrum transmitters and existing batteries. Both versions feature factory-installed electronics and a rugged EPO airframe that assembles quickly without glue or specialized tools.
The RTF Basic package also includes the RealFlight® Trainer Edition RC flight simulator, allowing new pilots to practice flying at home on a compatible Windows® PC using the included DXS transmitter via USB-C. With built-in training lessons, multiple aircraft models, unlockable flying sites, multiplayer capability, and adjustable conditions like wind and float flying, the simulator provides a valuable training tool that accelerates learning and builds confidence.
As pilots advance, the Carbon Cub S 2 is capable of performing aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, rolls, and inverted flight in Experienced Mode. The included transmitter, battery, and charger can also be used with a variety of “next-step” Bind-N-Fly aircraft, allowing pilots to grow their fleet without replacing their equipment.
Inspired by Cleetus McFarland’s passion for aviation and engines of all kinds, this Special Edition Carbon Cub is a faithful scale representation of his personal aircraft—bringing that excitement and personality to RC pilots around the world.
