HobbyZone® Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Cleetus McFarland Special Edition – Available at Aerobertics
Experience the thrill of flight with the HobbyZone® Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Cleetus McFarland Special Edition, exclusively available at Chez Aerobertics! This iconic RC airplane combines the best-selling Carbon Cub S 2 platform with the legendary trim scheme of Cleetus McFarland’s full-scale CubCrafters Carbon Cub. Cleetus, a renowned YouTuber, first captured hearts in 2009 flying a HobbyZone Super Cub on floats, and since then, he has personally chosen multiple Carbon Cub models for himself and friends to enjoy the skies.
Learn, Fly, and Master the Skies
Equipped with Horizon Hobby’s exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, this scale replica makes learning to fly simple and safe, even for first-time pilots. With Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced flight modes, you can adjust stability and control to match your skill level. Lost control? Panic Recovery mode instantly brings your aircraft back to steady flight at the push of a button.
Versatility Meets Performance
The durable EPO airframe houses a powerful brushless motor paired with a 30A telemetry-capable ESC, providing real-time power system data including motor RPM, battery voltage, current, and approximate flight time. The taildragger landing gear with oversized “tundra” tires makes it easy to take off and land on grass, dirt, gravel, or pavement. For the ultimate adventure, optional floats (sold separately) allow for seamless takeoffs and landings from water.
Upgrade Your Flight Experience
Take your flying to the next level by upgrading to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology, which adds AutoLand, Virtual Fence, and Holding Pattern features. The optional Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) ensures smooth, perfectly flared landings every time. With optional functional flaps, you can improve slow-speed handling and achieve shorter takeoffs and landings (requires 7+ channel computer transmitter; sold separately).
Ready-To-Fly and Bind-N-Fly Options
Aerobatics and Beyond
Once you’ve mastered the basics, the Carbon Cub S 2 is capable of loops, rolls, inverted flight, and more, making it a thrilling choice for pilots at every level. With the included Spektrum DXS transmitter, you can even explore other BNF aircraft in the “Next Step” lineup, such as the E-flite® T-28 Trojan 1.1m and the Valiant 1.3m.
Aerobertics – Where Flying Dreams Take Off
At Aerobertics, we are passionate about bringing you RC aircraft that inspire confidence, skill, and pure enjoyment. The Cleetus McFarland Special Edition Carbon Cub S 2 is the perfect combination of performance, versatility, and fun – making it the ultimate choice for beginners and seasoned pilots alike.
Bind-N-Fly Basic Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly (transmitter, battery and charger sold separately)!
Telemetry Capable
The Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Cleetus McFarland Special Edition features a telemetry-capable ESC that delivers real-time power system-related telemetry data to compatible transmitters. This includes approximate flight battery power remaining via multiple LEDs and audible alerts from the DXS transmitter included with the RTF Basic version. It will also provide motor RPM, current, overall battery voltage, and more to Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, the NX6, 8 and 10, the iX12, iX20, and others) while you fly.
Durable Design
Construction with advanced EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe tough enough to handle everyday flying punishment without getting bent out of shape. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them with a variety of compatible glues and/or tapes, a full line of replacement parts is readily available.
Easy Assembly
The Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m Cleetus McFarland Special Edition arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, servos, flight controller, and receiver installed. All you need to do is finish some quick and easy final assembly without using glue or special tools, and you'll be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!
Versatile Gear Options
Thick grass, gravel paths, and dirt trails; you can fly from these and many other surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size to handle. The robust landing gear uses oversized tires to absorb the bumps of rough surfaces and ensure excellent prop clearance. You can install the optional float set (HBZ7390, sold separately) using the included hardware in just a few minutes, allowing you to fly from lakes and ponds.
Optional Flaps
Functional flaps allow improved slow-speed handling and shorter takeoffs and landings. This feature requires a 7+ channel computer transmitter, a flap servo, and a servo extension (all sold separately).
Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Smoother Landings
The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is easy to install and provides automatic “flare” control to help inexperienced pilots “grease” landings by minimizing or eliminating bouncing (works over many/most surfaces and offers optimum performance when flying over/landing in grass).
Holding Pattern
This beneficial SAFE Plus-exclusive feature essentially allows you to “pause” the flight by putting the airplane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When you activate the system with a quick button press, the aircraft automatically returns to a position above the GPS initialization point and circles until you cancel the command with another quick press. It's a great way to safely hand the controls off to a friend or regain visual contact if you ever lose sight of the model.
Virtual Fence
It's easy to accidentally let an RC airplane fly too far away, but with Virtual Fence, worry no more. It creates an invisible boundary that the airplane won't fly past. When the aircraft reaches this boundary, it will automatically turn around and fly back toward the GPS initialization point. Then, it will “wag” the wings to let you know when you have control again.
Beginner Mode
In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch and bank angle limits to prevent over-control, resulting in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the aircraft automatically returns to level flight on its own, allowing you to relax and enjoy just 'steering' the airplane through the sky. This flight mode also makes it easier to take off and land.
