HobbyZone Super Cub DSM Electric Ready To Fly RC Airplane

The HobbyZone Super Cub DSM is the best way to learn how to fly. The Super Cub helps pilots learn the basics of throttle, steering and pitch control using the exclusive HobbyZone Anti-Crash Technology (ACT). And beyond being a great way to learn how to fly, the Super Cub DSM includes a sophisticated Spektrum DX4e 4-channel 2.4GHz DSMX transmitter, which supports both Spektrum DSM2 and DSMX receivers.

HobbyZones Super Cub RTF has proven to be the best way for beginners to learn the skills needed to fly radio controlled models even if they are doing it on their own without an experienced RC pilot to help. Now the new Super Cub LP RTF improves on the original with a Li-Po battery for longer flight times and an interesting new color scheme. The Super Cub LP includes everything needed to fly the model and in as little time as it takes to charge the battery. It is also a very durable airplane able to survive some of the mishaps related to beginners first flights. The Z-Foam construction is easily repaired with common adhesives so the model will be back in the air within minutes.

The DX4e boasts the best 2.4GHz RC technology available. And the best part is it can also be used with other RC aircraft as a pilots skills progress. That includes many exciting Bind-N-Fly® airplanes and helicopters from E-flite, ParkZone and Blade. The trainer port on the back of the DX4e lets beginners buddybox with a flight instructor who also has a DSM2 or DSMX transmitter from Spektrum or JR. And they can also connect to the Phoenix R/C Pro Flight Simulator and fly on their PC.

How Anti-Crash Technology (ACT) Works: Smart- Trak was, and is still, revolutionary, and there are still pilots taking their first flights with Smart-Trak equipped airplanes. Smart- Trak prevents pilots from over controlling a plane by reacting to stick inputs, but ACT actually sees the sky and ground and makes the appropriate control surface adjustments.

While Smart-Trak helps keep beginners out of trouble, there isnt much that can help pull a plane out of a death spiral, unless the pilot releases both sticks, allowing the plane to return to normal level flight. One can think of ACT as a smarter Smart-Trak. ACT actually works to pull a plane out of a dive that could potentially lead to a crash. In the event that the Super Cub is placed in a steep nosedive or death spiral, ACT will not only reduce the throttle input, it will add opposite rudder input to help level the plane out. These changes cause the nose of the plane to rise, pulling the plane out of a dive. When the plane has returned to a level flight path and the pilot returns the steering stick to neutral, control of the plane is returned to the pilot. This is the major difference between Smart-Trak and ACT. Where Smart-Trak tried to predict and react to conditions, ACT sees whats going on and responds. While it all sounds complicated, it works flawlessly.
