HobbyZone Super Cub

HOBBYZONE SUPER CUB (HBZ7100)

No other teach-yourself-to fly model offers as much as the HobbyZone Super Cub. Constructed from lightweight and durable Z foam that is stronger and lighter than most foams, enables the model to fly truer and straighter than most others in its class. The Cub has incredible scale looks and is jam packed with exciting features such as X-Port technology, for use with exciting add on modules such as the Aerial Drop Module, Combat Module, Night Flight Module. It is also equipped with Anti Crash Technology (ACT) that makes teaching yourself to fly easier and safer than before. The Cub has two ACT sensors mounted on the top and bottom of the fuselage that constantly monitor the position of the plane in relation to the ground, and if it looks to be entering a steep dive or possible crash situation it will automatically correct the model’s position, allowing the pilot time to regain control. As more experience is gained the ACT feature may be switched off allowing for increased manoeuvrability. Whilst ACT isn’t a guarantee against crashing it is certainly a cost saving feature for the novice flyer.

Fitted with a powerful 480 motor, the Cub has performance to match its great looks, and it comes complete with everything needed to get into the air in as little time as possible. A 1.2amp variable rate DC charger is included, batteries can be charged and ready for use in under 40 minutes. Scale landing gear with lightweight foam wheels, and steer able tail wheel complete the plane. A speedy assembly is assured and it only requires that the one-piece wing, tail plane and landing gear to be attached. The video CD and fully detailed instruction manual show exactly how this should be done, and if you do this while the battery is on charge, the Cub can be flight ready in about 40 minutes.

KEY FEATURES

The Super Cub has everything you need to go flying in one box. The plane simply needs the landing gear attached, tail plane and wing fitting and the rechargeable 8.4 volt battery (which is also included) charged and installed. The kit includes a HobbyZone a 12 volt DC 1.2 amp variable rate peak charger (Plugs into Cigar Lighter socket) with LED indicator, which will see the main battery pack charged in under 40 minutes . Also included with the Super Cub is fully proportional three channel radio as well as a detailed instruction manual, and a ‘learn to fly’ C.D.

A powerful 480 motor that offers a greater climb rate and power.
X-Port technology
Steerable tail wheel
Anti Crash Technology selectable from the transmitter
Steel wire push rods
Durable Z foam construction
A fully detail instruction manual and ‘How to Fly’ video C.D.
Variable rate 1.2A DC Peak Charger with LED (Plugs into Car Cigar Lighter socket)
Due to UK Regs, This product does NOT come with a Mains Charger.

With X-port the flying experience is taken one step further with the addition of combat and aerial drop capabilities with plug-and-play accessories like the Sonic Combat Module and Aerial Drop Module. With the Aerial Drop Module bombs and parachutes can be released at the press of a button and if more than one plane can be airborne the addition of a combat module on each means the pilots can indulge themselves in the ancient art of aerial combat. The making of a Hobbyzone Ace!

ACT actually analyses the way the plane is flying and ensures it doesn’t fall into a dangerous dive. Two sensors monitor the attitude of the plane in relation to the ground, when its flying level the top sensor sees the sky and the bottom the ground. Together they tell the computer the plane is flying correctly. If it enters a threatening dive, and the top sensor detects ground instead of sky the computer will correct the control input and back off the throttle to help regain control. Once the pilot has gained experience ACT can be switched off.

Adding a third channel for pitch (elevator) control adds greater manoeuvrability and allows pilots to perform aerobatics.

	A good beginners plane. Get this before moving onto others. It's perfect for flying with the children too.	Charles Munday 06/05/08 at 02:40 PM
	It is a brilliant plane and it flys so well and I would recommend it to beginners just like me.	harvey hunt 01/05/08 at 03:39 PM
	The best	jack carter 10/04/08 at 11:53 PM
	The greatest rc plane in the world.	G Carter 16/03/08 at 09:48 AM
	This plane is great for beginners! My dad got one for his b-day and hasnât stopped playing with it since! It crashed into our house but was still ok! Thatâs why I rated it a 5!	Joe Tang 10/03/08 at 08:44 PM
	I've had my cub for a week and just been sat around waiting for the weather to clear. It finally did today and my first flight was awesome, 1 crash and 2 hard landing later im loving it !!	Jimi Thomas 24/02/08 at 07:09 PM
	Nose dived full power into the ground and smashed my cowling and firewall. Had a few crashes after that but now i'm an expert and haven't crashed for months. Perfect for beginners. Best plane money can buy.	J Carter 10/02/08 at 10:04 PM
	Good plane.	stephen n 31/01/08 at 07:23 PM
	I got one of these for Christmas and I've been flying everyday possible! I love it so much I think it's the best present I've ever had!	Sam Kelly 02/01/08 at 11:10 AM
	I think this is the best looking trainer plane I have seen and I can't wait because I think i've got one for Xmas	Alex Rawlings 24/12/07 at 02:42 PM
	I wish I can have one for Christmas.	Nabin Phauja 14/12/07 at 05:21 PM
	Getting it for Christmas from my dad. Can't wait. I've never flown a plane before so this sounds good for me. Delivery was instant....well, the next day and I see other peoples comments are good. So I rate it a 5.	Luke Young 13/12/07 at 11:18 PM
	Skimmed the house, landed in a fence. Hit a goal post. Been chased by a dog and had some rough landings but it's still going strong. Nothing a bit of tape can't fix :-)	David Bowring 05/11/07 at 12:23 AM
	Class plane, easy to fly and can take some hard crashing....I sent mine into a metal fence and a house... still ok!!!	D Liversidge 13/09/07 at 03:05 PM
	This plane is a perfect trainer... I've had mine for a few months, it's had some hard landings but doesn't have a scratch. The anti-crash thing works ok but you'll turn it off after a few flights. Buy a couple of batteries, you'll be lucky to get 10 minutes from a set... You might think this plane is a bit 'tame' compared to the other planes SL sell but if you want to learn to fly, swallow your pride, THIS is the one to get!	MattP 09/09/07 at 03:48 PM
	It's very good. I would recommend it to anyone. It has an anti-crash system so you can't crash!	Harvey 21/08/07 at 01:51 PM
	I just have got one but it was too windy today - can't wait till tomorrow!!!!!!!	Dec 12/08/07 at 09:39 PM
	I would recommend this plane to anyone. It is very easy to fly and takes crashes well too!!	Carl Bennet 29/07/07 at 08:32 PM
	best plane ever	asif hassan 22/07/07 at 04:44 PM
	1st class starter plane. It is really easy to fly and gives you a platform to learn from. I think I am ready for a Spitfire now.	Peter Lamb 17/05/07 at 05:25 PM
	This is an ideal starter plane for anyone. I have now mastered the basics and going to invest in a Spit!!!!	J Thomas 03/05/07 at 05:05 PM
