Getting Started with Your Carbon Cub S-2

  1. Battery & Binding:
    • Charge the 3S 2200 mAh LiPo on the USB charger until the LED turns solid (these items sold separately).

    • Check all linkages and control surfaces for secure connections.
    • Verify prop nut tightness and gear mounting bolts.
  3. First Flight:
    • Select Beginner Mode, apply gentle throttle, and allow SAFE® to keep the Cub level.
    • Practice straight-and-level flight, gentle turns, and throttle-on/Throttle-off approaches.
  4. Skill Progression:
    • Switch to Intermediate Mode for more agile handling once comfortable.
    • Advance to Experienced Mode to explore loops, slow flight, and advanced maneuvers.
