HobbyZone Super Cub RTF

"The HobbyZone Super Cub RTF is one of the best,
if not the best, RC trainer planes for self-taught pilots!"

Tons of RC pilots have taught themselves how to fly with the ParkZone Super Cub since it was released in 2006. The Super Cub has been so successful that ParkZone has since released a more powerful ParkZone Super Cub LP.

HobbyZone Super Cub RTF

The ParkZone Super Cub LP is identical to the original ParkZone Super Cub RTF except for the battery pack. The original Super Cub comes with an 8.4V 1000mAh Ni-MH battery pack where as the newer more powerful Super Cub LP is equipped with a 3S 11.1V 1300mah Li-Po battery pack.

Unless you are deathly afraid of Li-Po battery packs or a serious penny pincher, it would be silly to buy the original Super Cub when you can have the more powerful Super Cub RTF for only $10 more!

What makes the Super Cub RTF so popular?

With nearly a 4 foot wingspan, the Super Cub is a very stable trainer airplane with realistic scale features and is offered as a complete package with everything you need to fly at a very affordable price. Really...What else could you ask for?

Stable Flying Characteristics

The ParkZone Cub RTF has the classic characteristics that make for a good RC trainer airplane. The one piece high wing is specifically designed to provide the high lift, low stall speed and stability that a beginner needs for learning to fly.

Tail draggers are known to be a little squirrely on take-offs which is why most RC trainer planes are equipped with tricycle landing gear. Because of the relatively small size and light weight of this RC super cub, steerable tail wheel controls the plane very nicely on take-off's and landings. Since taking off isn't a problem, a tail dragger is actually better in my opinion because landing in thick grass often times damages steerable front wheels. Trust me on this one...


Durable Construction

This RC Super Cub is constructed of a very durable material called Z-Foam™. In addition to being durable, this material is easily repaired by CA glue. I've also found that Gorilla Glue works well with repairing Z-Foam™.


Completeness

HobbyZone goes out of their way to make is as easy as possible for you to get started flying RC. People who've never laid a finger on an RC airplane can easily assemble and fly this airplane. The radio system, motor, esc, batteries, and servos are preinstalled and ready to go.

Both the original and LP versions come with a "Learn to Fly Video" containing assembly instructions and flying tips.

All you have to do is attach the wing, tail, and landing gear with a handful of screws and a couple of rubber bands. Watch the video while your battery charges and you'll be flying in no time!


Hobbyzone Super Cub Parts Readily Available

If you're teaching yourself to fly, the chances are about %99.9 that you will have a mishap or 2, or 3. If you happen to break something that glue can't fix, a full set of replacement parts are readily available. Availability of spare parts is one of the most important things to consider when purchasing an RC airplane of any type, especially when you're learning to fly. All Hobbyzone Super Cub Parts are readily available should you need them.


Anti Crash Technology

The Super Cub RTF is equipped with ParkZone's patented Anti Crash Technology. No, this doesn't mean your new RC airplane is crash proof, but it certainly helps a beginner avoid a crash two. Once you get the hang of flying you can turn the ACT off with a flip of a switch on the transmitter.


Scale Appearance

Let's face it, typical RC trainer planes are not the most attractive looking RC airplanes out there. The ParkZone Super Cub RTF closely resembles a full scale Cub while maintaining all of the characteristics of a good RC trainer. If you're heart is set on a scale airplane for learning to fly, this is definitely your bird!


Powerful 480 Motor

The powerful 480 motor provided the extra punch a beginner needs to pull the airplane out of precarious situations. This powerful motor allows for some impressive climb rates and fast low passes. You'll have to watch the video to see what I mean!


X-Port™ Technology Equipped

HobbyZone's patented X-port technology allows you to transform your HobbyZone Super Cub into a long-range bomber, combat fighter, or a night flying spectacle. My personal favorite one is the Sonic Combat Module™. It's literally like playing laser tag in the air!
