Parkzone Sport Cub S2 Parkflyer RC Plane on Windy Day with Fun Extras!

This was a very fun video to make and I did it with my flying buddies John and Shawn. There are a few things that you wouldn't expect to find in an RC Plane video in here, so be sure to watch the entire video to get the full experience. That is unless you don't like Hot Rods or appreciate the USA's National Symbol.Show more

The video is just the second I have posted of me flying the Parkzone Sport Cub S2 Parkflyer, which was modeled after the Cub Crafters Sport Cub. I believe the specific model is the CubCrafters CC11-100 Sport Cub S2.

On the Parkzone website, they describe this plane this way:

"The full-scale Cub Crafters Sport Cub is an inspired reinvention of the Piper Super Cub that is introducing a whole new generation of aviators to the wonder and excitement of back country flying.

The ParkZone® Sport Cub park flyer is a fantastic recreation of this aerial adventure machine that will open a new world of possibilities for RC pilots too. Constructed of durable, lightweight Z-Foam™ material, it shares many of the same aerodynamic features that give the full-scale version its light wing loading and superb short field abilities. Oversized tundra tires for flying off grass and other rough surfaces are included. Those in search of the ultimate RC bush flying experience have the option of adding floats and functional flaps.

This Plug-N-Play or PNP version can be flight-ready in the time it takes to install a receiver and charge a battery."

I call BS on that last part because it took me a very long time to get it all to work together without breaking the plane upon assembly, but the rest sounds about right.

This is a more advanced alternative to the Hobbyzone Super Cub LP as it is BL and has ailerons, which is basically a really big version of a Hobbyzone Champ trainer plane in the form of a Piper Cub (Piper PA-18 or Piper J-3 Cub).

This looks like a big version of the BNF E-flite UMX Carbon Cub. That too has flaps and an attractive trim scheme. And really it is a lot like a little bit smaller version of the E-flite Carbon-Z Cub.

The main motivation for this purchase was due to the success of my recent E-flite UMX B-17 videos and even more successful E-flite P-51 Mustang videos. Ultimately I enjoyed flying the park flyer sized plane A LOT more, so when Horizon Hobby had its big sale recently, this was the only plane this size that I hadn't already bought.

While this plane is no longer available, it has been largely replaced by the E-flite Timber, which was successful enough to have them make a UMX Timber. That was so successful that the have now made an E-flite Turbo Timber. You can't make this up! lol
