Airplane automatically returns to level flight when the control sticks are released. Makes it easier to take off and land. Intermediate: More freedom in pitch and bank, but still prevents significant over-control. Experienced: No pitch or bank angle limits - allows flexibility to fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, stall turns. PANIC RECOVERY: Switch to Beginner Mode and release the sticks if you lose control in Intermediate or Experienced modes. SAFE technology automatically returns airplane to level flight. Read more Uniquely Optimized Jets are typically faster and harder to fly than most of their prop-driven counterparts, which made it impossible for first-time, and even low-time, RC pilots to fly them – until now! The unique and optimized airframe design of the Habu STS improves low speed handling and slow speed performance to finally make it possible to learn to fly radio controlled (RC) airplanes successfully with a jet. High Power The factory-installed brushless power system features a 70-amp telemetry-capable ESC plus a specially-tuned motor and 10-blade 70mm fan that delivers an abundance of thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or more power and speed with an optional 4S battery without the need for any modifications or upgrades. Durable Design Construction with advanced EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe that's tough enough to handle everyday flying punishment without getting bent out of shape. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement parts is readily available. Read more Easy Assembly The Habu STS 70mm EDF RTF arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, servos plus the flight controller and receiver installed. All you need to do is finish some quick and easy final assembly, without the use of glue or special tools, and you'll be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! Capable Gear The wide-stance tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel and oversized tires offers improved ground handling for easier take offs and landings on a wide variety of surfaces from paved runways to grass and even dirt. Optional Landing Assist Sensor for Smoother Landings The Spektrum Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) is easy to install and provides automatic "flare" control to help inexperienced pilots "grease" landings by minimizing or eliminating bouncing (works over many/most surfaces and provides optimum performance when flying over/landing in grass).

  • Looks cool, be great if it would fly
Style: RTF Ready-To-Fly
Received the Habu sts.. Put it together today all the while charging the battery. Battery charged and placed in plane to check controls. Nothing happened. The plane beeped and wings did one movement then stopped. Attempted to test controls and nothing worked. Attempted to bind controller to plane and again nothing. Supposed to be ready to fly but no. Now I could be doing something wrong but went through instructions four times. Also was supposed to come with dongle for hookup to computer and that never came. I will make a few adjustment to see if it will work but as of right now not happy spending that kind of money and not getting what I thought I would. ... show more

  • It's a great concept
Style: RTF Ready-To-Fly
I love that it's for a first jet owner someone's got to be the one. Although I never (after watching several videos on this product) it was almost self flying but something for me went wrong on mine I got it up to the height they recommend for safe flight and then it just took a nosedive straight to the earth and I couldn't stop it or pull out of it . Otherwise it's an awesome jet I think mine had a problem with it cuz I was very careful to follow everything I read a d watched on it so the company was giving me a refund and I'm going to just get another one hopefully it works the way described cuz my first plane (the apprentice) is lots of fun . I still recommend to anyone who wants to go jet this is the one you should start with horizon is the only one that I know that has a nety for the first jet RTF model ... show more

  • In spite of what ANY recent review says.....UPDATE
Style: RTF Ready-To-Fly
Horizon Hobby has confirmed with me today the DONGLE and TRIAL SIM are no longer available with this. All they'll say about the recent reviews to the contrary is that those reviews are independent and do not represent Horizon Hobby. So in looking for an alternative (a separate purchase of the dongle) I've not been offered any avenue to pursue. Not a great start. It's still unassembled as I ponder it's usefulness given the experience so far. *The ones with the free offer were limited time but some are still out there. The box will clearly tell you. Local shops may still have them. I found one. The dongle and Trainer software are great. If it weren't for the fact the battery wouldn't charge on the one I ordered I may have not discovered this. Check local. They might still be waiting on the shelf for you.* ... show more

  • Great package but a bit expensive IMO
Style: RTF Ready-To-Fly
I had to return the original one do to box damage but that was the carriers fault not the manufacturer. However I have had a chance to fly this plane and its everything I expected. Would be 5 stars but going with 4 for price. Its a bit expensive and there's no bnf version. You either have to get pnp or rtf. I really believe this could be your first plane, definitely a great first edf but its still hard to beat the apprentice as a first plane. But if your absolutely set on a edf as your first plane then I would recommend the habu sts. The rtf package really is great as you get everything including a free code for the real flight sim but I think $350ish would be a better price. ... show more

  • Over priced. Transmitter Laughable
Style: RTF Ready-To-Fly
It does have the Safe Select and (3) levels of expertise as marketed, and after an upgrade in transmitter where sub-trim and dual rate/expos can be set it takes off easily and virtually flies itself. However it tends to glide and drift as it is so cheap and light. The paint, what there is of it, is pathetic. First thing I did is actually put real paint and clear coat on it to protect it and add durability. The transmitter is a toy. You will absolutely need an upgrade. This plane is wayyyy overpriced! It is cheaply made in every aspect from wheels to landing gear. A shame because I bought the Eflite A10 twing 64mm for $150 less and it is 10x the product as the Habu toy. First landing with the Habu, with optional LAS and the front wheel, so sloppy it wobbles all over, literally fell off! I got it back in the air before it could wipe out, then had to coast it into a thick mesquite tree because the wheel was laying on the landing strip. Next time out I brought it in, greased the landing (LAS does not work BTW) and sure enough the wheel fell off again, breaking the steering linkage. (2) flights and (2) landing gear mishaps. No fun driving out to the strip only to get (1) flight in. My advice? Spend $500 on a decently built product. Freewing has a lot of them, or carefully shop Eflite products. This product is probably worth $150, especially after an additional $300 for a decent transmitter. #notworthit ... show more

  • Put the time in on the simulator
Style: RTF Ready-To-Fly
I highly recommend putting at least 40 hours on the simulator or when you can fly inverted and you have mastered flight then take your plane out for a simple flight

  • Take your time and practice when ever you can.
Style: RTF Ready-To-Fly
Great plane flys great and looks good in the air all the reviews are true . Safe works well when learning. And the sim helps to it just does not account for wind. So fly in calm weather till you get better .
