Description

ADVANCING ELECTRIC FLIGHT E-flite aircraft are developed by experts who love electric power and flying as much as you. They know the kind of quality and performance you desire most and combine exacting standards in design with the best materials to build state-of-the-art aircraft – from top-of-the-line trainers to a wide range of sport and scale models. Visit the Store Visit the Store The original Carbon-Z Cub was ground-breaking and created a new category for large-scale, electric-powered models. Based on a platform that was known for legendary versatility, its lightweight and exceptionally strong, composite-reinforced and hollow-core design was mostly factory-finished and assembled so it was easier for more pilots to go "BIG" than ever before. The E-flite Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m is an updated and refined version of the original, equipped with a long list of new features for improved flight performance, capabilities and convenience so you can enjoy a giant-scale flying experience unlike any other. Features The E-flite Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m makes it easier than ever to enjoy a truly unique and versatile giant-scale flying experience. Based on the original Carbon-Z Cub, it's equipped with an abundance of new convenience, capability and flight performance-improving features. An updated wing design with drooped tips adds wing and aileron area for significantly improved slow speed handling, performance and control. The modified flap design allows them to travel both ways for full-span aileron and other mixing options, and thumbscrews make it easier to install and remove the two-piece wing without tools. Articulated and shock-absorbing landing gear, equipped with even larger oversized tundra-style wheels with softer tires, offers better ground handling that soaks up the bumps of rough surfaces. The push-button released, top-mounted hatch offers convenient and easy access to the battery compartment – which now holds a quick-release, multi-position battery mounting tray that fits 4S to 6S 3200–7000mAh batteries. An improved motor design featuring an additional bearing, plus a propeller molded from material that better maintains balance and stiffness, results in smoother and more reliable power system performance. The composite-reinforced, hollow-core airframe arrives mostly factory-finished and assembled, and the installed digital, metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped linkages deliver crisp and precise control. So whether you fly it slow and scale, or perform beyond-scale vertical takeoffs and aerobatics, the Carbon-Z Cub SS will offer unexpected levels of versatility, capability and performance you'll enjoy flight after flight! In The Box Needed to Complete The E-flite Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m makes it easier than ever to enjoy a truly unique and versatile giant-scale flying experience. Based on the original Carbon-Z Cub, it’s equipped with an abundance of new convenience, capability and flight performance-improving features that make it better than ever! The Carbon-Z Cub SS features an updated wing design with drooped tips that adds wing and aileron area for better slow speed handling, performance and control – similar to the Plane Booster Wing Tip Set CubCrafters offers for many Cub models. Plus the modified flap design allows them to travel both ways for full-span aileron and other mixing capabilities. Even with its giant-scale 84"/2.1m wingspan, the Carbon-Z Cub SS is easy to store and transport because of the two-piece wing. And now it's more convenient than ever because no tools are required for field assembly/disassembly with the new thumbscrews. There are even decorative gas caps and antennas that snap onto the thumbscrews for added scale detail. The new articulated and shock-absorbing landing gear, which is equipped with even larger oversized tundra-style wheels with softer tires, offers better ground handling that easily soaks up the bumps of rough surfaces. An improved mounting design for the main gear makes it stronger than before, and fully-molded top and bottom landing gear covers deliver a more scale-like appearance. An optional float set (sold separately) that includes a servo and functional water rudder, plus a new mounting/strut set (also sold separately) that attaches with a more secure rear mount and cross braces. Installation is easy, and you have the option to switch between floats and wheels in minutes. 6S LiPo recommended if taking off from water.

  • 💰 May be too expensive for beginners

Should I Buy It?

  • The size of the airplane makes it very easy for me to see at 80 years old.
Excellent example of a Piper J3 aircraft. It is my second one as I flew the first one through a tree and it did not survive very well. My depth perception fooled me into thinking I was on my side of the tree, lol. A beautiful airplane that will provide many hours of fun.

  • Just a very bad product
Sure, the RC Aircraft is big and beautiful, but that's where it ends. My first problem had to do with the battery tray, it wouldn't' latch into position until I removed the base assembly and modified it. My second problem is with the battery compartment size itself, and the length of the ESC connector wire, it is impossible connect the battery to the esc without causing damage to the fuselage. I feel now this is the dumbest purchase I've ever made, I mean $500 for a piece of foam, and no technical support from the supplier. The instructions are poorly written and out of order. Good Luck, hope this helps someone The vortex generators have now fallen off of the model, just something else for you to take into consideration with this product. ... show more

  • So cool, doesn't seem to break easy.
This thing is awesome but don't buy it as a first plane. It has been so frustrating and I still have not gotten set up a way I like. (Using tx16-s). Missing a lot of features without getting a spectrum controller so ill have to do that as im not savvy enough to get everything to work right like SAFE. Beautiful and well built. Has survived many crashes... ... show more

  • Mostly Great!
If they would have changed the way the struts attached, I would have given a perfect 5 stars. It flies amazing. Really great plane. I would recommend it anyone except a beginner because it's not cheap.

Relaxing, predictable easy plane to fly. Did an air filled tire swap, and fly it often. Love mine.
