Excellent advice for beginners as always a great video
Thank you! Hopefully it will help people understand the differences from what looks like the same product. The durability of the XCub is really impressive and it is by far the most durable plane I have ever flown. The flight characteristics of the Sport Cub S2 align better with how I expect a Cub to fly, but the plane is more fragile. I think the Apprentice STOL might be the best compromise as it is more durable than the Sport Cub S2, but flies more like a larger model than the XCub, but also is pricier. The awesome thing is that a beginner has options now on how to get started on the hobby in terms of price point, subject matter, and size. When I started, there were very few options.
The Xcub looks like the volantex sport cub 500, maybe you should compare those 2. They’re exactly alike, trust me.
It isn't the Volantex Sport Cub 500. They look similar, but they aren't the same airframes. The XCub 450 AS3X and SAFE tuning was done by the Horizon air development team.
@@BRGT350 The brush motor sounds the same if I’m not wrong. The sport cub 500 has a more flexible gear than the XCUB.
similar size brushed motor and gears, which sounds a lot like my other 1S brushed planes. They all sound about the same.
14:08 i have an AeroScout mini and am saving up for the XCub 450mm as my first experience with 4ch
Take a look at the Apprentice STOL as it might be a better option. It has better durability compared to the Sport Cub S and a better flying experience than the XCub. Plus it is a little bigger and can handle wind better. You can't go wrong with the XCub, but wanted to give you another option that wasn't in the video. The AeroScout mini wasn't as good as the 1.1m, which is an outstanding trainer.
@@BRGT350 that one is WAY to expensive for me
I’m limited to around $100 us/$150 au
Also it needs to have the durability off teh Xcub, has to have SAFE and can't be much bigger that the mini scout
sounds like the XCub is going to be perfect for you. It is a good plane and I am enjoying flying it and having others try it out.
The orange one is a recolored Volantex. Comparing these 2 is just not the same crop of apples. Neither here nor there. the Xcub was sold out instantly and is Not available again till after October.
It isn't Volantex. I am 100% sure of it. These will continue to be popular and I expect them to be tough to get for a while. I would agree that comparing the two isn't a fair comparison, which is also why I wanted to compare them. On paper or looking at them on the website, you might think they are more similar than they are.
No, it's not a Volantex cub , it's made by top rc, and it has a shorter wing span .
Richard is correct.
Would that be a Swift Boat PRB08046 on your top shelf? Nice
yep! sure is! I picked up last year and I really enjoy it. I wanted a nice scale boat to use on my pond and the Swift Boat is perfect for that. I can turn on the lights and go out for an evening patrol. The detail on it is awesome! It is like a scale model. Also on the shelf is a 1/10 version of my Ford Mustang and Ford Focus.
