This is the cheapest smart plane with floats that is also easy to fly for beginners that we own. This is the HobbyZone Sport Cub S 2. You can get this plane RTF (ready to fly = everything you need in the box) or BNF (bind and fly = need your own transmitter). We love this RC airplane which is why it has stayed in our collection for years. We finally decided to try out the optional float set! Let us know what you think in the comments!

I have a UMX Turbo Timber with those same floats on it for snow in the winter. Lots of fun!
This guys the bob ross of flying planes lmaoooo 😂
Just ordered the floats about an hour before your vid.
My 10yr old son and myself started flying some foamies a few months back and saw your review of the Sport Cub and decided to get one.
We have become confident enough to get the floats for a really calm day.
Thanks for your vids!!!
I love little float birds.
Between you and flight test ..you guys are beat plane ppl out there ..love the content as always and this looks my first plane 😆
Just flew this plane today without the pontoons. It's very light and docile and a lot of fun to fly and so easy to land.
Great choice for float week. How fun. Can't wait to see the rest of the line up.
You guys are able to just make everything fun out there! Nice time!
Best couple on CZcams :) Nice floating little plane too.
In order to get you plane to role first get slow then increase the angle of attach very rapidly (briskly is the word). Full elevator to induce a stall and then full rudder in the direction that you want to role. Some air planes need aileron input in the same direction of the role. It does not hurt to point directly into the wind and hope for a gust at the same time. It wont role unless one wing is fully stalled and the other has some air moving over it. A blast of throttle as it breaks will sometime pull it around if there is no wind. Recovery is just like recovering from a spin... add throttle, point the nose down and use opposite rudder. With the cub you will lose some altitude but that is the only way I know to role a plane with floats that has limited power. It looks sloppy but it works.
It's the only plane I've flown so far and I love it. Did a double roll the other night for the first time. Tried to do it again and crashed but it was fine. Might upgrade to something w/ bigger and more consistent batteries next year. Working my way up. Thanks for posting this.
Yup, AMA allows me to fly in confidence.
Float Week, awesome addition to the channel. Cool flying little plane. Be nice to see “The Beaver” on floats. Looking forward to seeing more of these float planes. Thanks again for the great video. God bless.
I’m going to like this week a lot. God bless you guys
We are so happy to bring Float Week to the world for the first time ever!! 👍😁😎⚓️
I don't usually watch your PLANE videos because I think they're PLAIN LOL but I like these it really FLOATS my BOAT
This is my first plane and I can't say enough about how great it is to learn and fly. For under $200, it's amazing. I just bought another one and floats. Can't wait to try it out on water. Just don't try to fly when it's windy!
WooHoo!!! Great Flight Nate! So excited for this float plane week!! Thank you!
I absolutely,unquestionably,unanimously,ADORE my SportCub S2.🤗
yall most fun to watch...great to see mates getting along makes these enjoyable
You guys are great, wholesome people!
Bought a UMX Timber X for the first club float fly I was going to and it worked out great! I was the smallest plane there but I had fun and got to fly so it was all good. It was nicknamed Tiny Timber...thanks for the videos!
Excellent! I love float flying!!! I've had that little Sport Cub on floats for about 7 years. Great little plane! As for the no wind? Not true. I've flown mine on days when bigger planes couldn't get up. Just need onshore wind. Crest a wave, punch it through the trough and ski jump it off the next crest. Time landing to back of wave coming back to shore. It's fun. Challenging, but fun.
Great new testing category! I can’t wait to see the additional choices.
So much fun to watch! Very excited for this FLOAT WEEK! JP♥️⚓s
Awesome airplane Nate and Abby and looks great in air too 😃😎❤
Thanks Don! Hope you are having a great week! 👍😁😎⚓️
Yes pumped for float week! Love your content! I just got into the hobby a few months ago and just recently found a Icon A5 new in box at local hobby store and have been flying it off a near by pond great fun! Can’t wait to watch upcoming videos.
I’ll be watching all week! Can’t wait
lol I love your jokes, Nate! Excellent flight and you could tell with the floats it definitely didn't have the 'control' to do a lot. Still a neat little plane.
Not bad for a little 1S plane, huh!? Thanks for tuning in my friend 👍😁⚓️
What a brilliant video guys keep it up the good hard work 👏👍
Would be a great front yard little flyer for snowy winter season👍
Nice Video - I just recently purchased this model. Now - I'll get those floats - thanks for the demo. Unfortunately - where I am right now on vacation- the nearest lake is in the flight path to a small mountain airport. Hmm - I think this plane is fine for a non- precision landing with the floats in the grass - albeit a little rough - I just love the float plane look - looks so scale! Hats-off to FLOAT PLANE WEEK! FDW
I bought this for xmas for my kids. It's perfect. three mode settings: Beginner, Intermediate and Expert. Super easy to fly and learn the basics.
That’s awesome Pablo!! Really glad to hear you guys are having fun with it 👍😁😎⚓️
That is a neat plane. Floats well. Really neat reflection.
This is going to be an exciting week of videos I don’t think you’ve ever done a float week I’m looking forward to it!!😃
Cool video ..Very neat to see it land and taxi on the water watching how the pods are creating the soft water waves behind the plane.🛩👍🏻😃
Abby and Nate y'all rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Very cool that your doing Float Week, just wish it was more than a week
Awesome guys...I can't wait.i have three float planes and love them.♥️✈️♥️✈️ The guy across the river from you.
It’s so satisfying to fly now if that could be the timber c that would be amazing
Is this plane STOL?
I need to take off/land in my neighbor’s swimming pool, and there’s Italian cypress planted around their backyard.
I may use the hovercraft with a clamping device to pluck the inflated floating toys out of the pool to make more room.
The floating giraffe will be a piece of cake! The floating donuts with sprinkles might be a challenge.
Love your guys’ channel! I had the same issue with my sport cub S2 trying to land close to the dock. It was a breezy day and I had to go swimming to fetch it, with a crowd of spectators watching lol not fun.
About time to have a float week! :-)
uhh... I am impressed... the Twin Otter will most likely be part of that game, but which one can compete too? 🤔I remember... Carbon Cub S and Turbo Timber (X).... i guess... it will be exciting who will make it to the win
I am excited for float week, This scaled up scratch built Polaris handles nice on the water.
Next umx timber x on floats !
Gorgeous spot to fly or just hang out sobhappy for you guys. I have one of these planes but sadly my son wrecked the proof and they are on back order until any day bow. So amazed at how easy to fly it is compared to planes 15 plus years ago when they were all wood frame skinned planes. The smart mode is a godsend
Thanks to this video, i decided to get into this hobby and bought this plane with the floats.
Now to find a suitable body of water and a park in phoenix
Very awesome!! Hope your first flight goes very well!! Remember, wait for a very calm wind day! 👍😁😎⚓️
Flying in calm air is almost essential for the Sport Cub S 2, even without floats. It is a fun little plane.
Thats what i started on that also sparked my addiction lol
Great videos great channel
I just got mine a couple days ago, wheeled version...Can't wait to get out and try it!!
It flies amazingly well, especially for a little 1S plane. Woot! 👍😁😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors I have a whole variety of ground vehicles but this is my first hobby grade plane....It's been too windy here the past few days
Your weather beautiful, we have 16-20 mph wind and pouring rain right now.
I bought the kit for my S2 but took them off. It's a hair to heavy and seemed to mess with the CG a little. As you said it barley taxis while floating too. Looks amazing and getting the floats on was a bit tedious. Glad you had some successful flights! Might have to look for a larger plane with floats/ will be keeping an eye on float week!
Hand launching maybe - resembling an aircraft carrier's catapult!! Thanks for the info - Ill be getting the floats and testing the CG too! I did read that installation was tedious too! FDW
Looks like fun!!!
amazing how well it flies on only a 1s battery!!
YAY!!! Float fly! 🙂
What!?
Me n the other dude asked for 1...
And NOW we get a whole week?
WooHoo!! 👏😁
I like it so cool.
Kinda early squad where you guys at love that idea Float week 😎😎😎😎😎😉😉😉😉⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
The Bob Ross of R/C!
I still have my original Sport Cub S. I have had it for 8 years and it still flies.
Same here!
Good job. Just bought this plane. Thank you for praise for God.
🙏✝️💯❤️⚓️
Thats a sweet lil plane on floats i will get it next time im at hobby shop. My Maule-7 on floats to me is the most sexy airplane out there. Just my opinion but they are gorgeous on floats.
Great idea about having a "Float Week". 👍 Looking forward to your next video.
I use the same floats on my UMX TT. Found the floats actually work better for me on the snow than they do on the water. You really do benefit by having rudered floats on a plane.
Hey, maybe a "Snow Week" using floats and skis?
Thank you very much 😍😍😍🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice flight ..🔥😎
Thank you!! 👍😁😎⚓️
Cool little slow flyer on pontoons.. definitely no twin otter..
Can't wait to see what's next
One of the go-to airplanes for me. I have three, only one of which is inop due to me trying to reinstall the motor and then super-gluing the motor rotor. :)
Sounds like something I would have done 😉 Happy Flying Chris! 👍😁😎⚓️
I bought the Cessna 182 and floats for it too! I'm a bit skeptical about it as the water where I'm at is never this calm as yours!
I have repaired this plane so many times and I hope to get some pontunes and fly this this weekend so I hope my first water flight goes well 😅
Good luck!! Happy Flying 👍😁😎⚓️
Excellent 👍😉🇲🇫🐓
I like the landing plop lol
What is your impression if the fms ranger 1220 mm rtf
COOL!! FLOAT Week or it could be BLOAT week!!😂 NICE flight NATE...could you land THIS floater on the dock? How about touch and go's? Self righting?! I'm hoping to see the Twin Otter (if you still have it)!! GREAT job Saylors AND thanks for the SNEEZE cut!! 💟👍😘
Nate try that in the snow in winter 🛫🛬🛩🌨🌨🌨❄️❄️❄️❄️
Now that you have the kayak will you be doing a video on Rc sail boats?! Really hope so!!
I dread taking my RC boat out further than 10 feet still.
The sport Cub doesn’t handle the wind when it’s on floats quite like the UMX turbo timber does, but the floats fit the scale of the sport Cub much better. The slightly larger size of the turbo timber makes it look a little goofy with the floats on.
I love the floats on my little Cub but be careful on landing because it can flip over. I dried out the plane and got it back up in the air after a few hours. Have canoe nearby.
The river was low on water from a drought. . I walked across water the other day myself! It's for real!
Small little cruiser that just floated through the air. Nice flying Nate. If a plane has floats does it make it a boat❓ if a boat has wings does it make it a plane❓so is it a boat plane or a plane boat. Captain Sully proved that a plane can float just like a boat. But a boat in the sky I've never seen with my eye. All these refrains are straining my Brain 🧠. 🤔😆😆🥴🥴. Nice day on & above the water. ⚓⚓👍💛💜💚👍🤔😆🥴👍⚓⚓.
My kinda plane ✈️
Cool :)
Thanks Adam! 👍😁😎⚓️
Can you change the mode of the transmitter?
Could you talk more about AMA? I just bought my first plane. An aeroscout s2. I see my local rc airfields in my country require an AMA membership. I got the 3 month trial to get started. But I see a bunch of stuff about insurance and I don’t really understand what that means? My plane is now insured?? Please if you can make a video or point me in the right direction that would be awesome! Their website doesn’t really spell out the details very well.
I had one of these, they are super fun to fly and super easy, however after practicing with safe mode off It took one too many nose dives and got totaled lol.
Ahoy there Saylors. I have a pair of 2nd hand Eachine/Volantex/Sonik RC Sports Cub 500's so converted one to have floats similar to your HobbyZone one. I did have to buy and fit the additional rear bracket and substitute the plane's undercarriage wire for the forward fixing wire of the float set but it still worked out cheaper than trading up to a HobbyZone Sport Cub S or the more powerful Eflite UMX Carbon Cub SS. It looks awesome with floats but performance is certainly reduced, as I think you also found. I've had it go astray a couple of times now so it only gets airborne when flying conditions are perfect. Did you follow the floats' instructions and move the rudder control horn hole position to give extra authority for turning with the floats attached? 😉
You need to fly the e flight Maule 1.5 meter with floats
How do you get the floats? Is it included with the plane or you have to buy it separately?
Kinda started out like an airboat 🤔🤷♂️ still a great little plane. 👍🤘
I just got a brand new eachine mini p-40 and flew it in a tree about 5 meters up, hope ill get it back :((
I hope you get it back too, those eachine planes are awesome! Got one too. :)
@@davidsapir3764 Thx! they are really good btw!
I got this as my first plane today and want to buy floats now I did two back flips in my first flight
be careful. The electronics can get really messed up if you get water in them
@@STEVEJELLY the wind picked it up and then my receiver stoped working and it flew away it’s Ben gone for like two weeks it’s in a neighborhood somewhere 💀💀💀
@@jonahmichlig1121 lmao 💀
@@jonahmichlig1121 If u ever get another plane, look up what a fail safe is and how to set it up
You should try the flite test beaver or widgeon
On water? Don’t their planes fold in half from a little morning dew?
I live on lake with no good hard surfaces to take off and land. havnt flew in 20 yrs, and wasnt very good then. I usually get gliders cause slow and easy to learn. Do you recommend this Cub S2 for my scenerio with the floats to learn? thanks
yes I do it is a great plane to buy but keep in mind THE MOTOR IS BRUSHED so you have to replace it once every two months depending on how much you fly, it’s worth it though I much more recommend the arrows pioneer and you can put the floats on it with a mod
Those landings! 😂😂😂
Don’t worry. Everyone In that plane have their health insurance pay for and up to dated!😅
Not having a steerable rudder really hurts that surface handling sadly. All other aspects seem like heaps of fun!
What do you mean no steerable rudder? Nate said the same thing but the rudder is clearly moving (then Nate says "rudder input is actually very helpful"). If not he would not be able to steer the airplane on the water at all. Do you mean a steerable rudder in the water like a boat has? It has no rudder in the water at all. How many float planes have rudders in the water? Sorry, I'm a novice.
@@dl1027 Great observation dl1027. I didn't catch him saying that about the rudder. To answer your question, many float planes have a steerable water rudder system on the float. This kind of system would definitely be a boon to this model.
You had some serious Bob Ross vibes starting this video. Either that of a golf announcer.
I’ve been told this many times, lol. Fully unintentional, but I’ll take that and roll with it 👍😁😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors Bob Ross is pretty good company to keep
My sport cub s2 burned a hole in itself after I plugged in the battery don’t worry if it happens to you take it your local hobby shop if you have one they should swap it for a new one
We always recommend buying through our link. They have amazing customer support, and you earn points! Plus, you are helping to support our channel 👍😁😎⚓️
Did you see the boat behind you
No more brushed motors... Thanks!
This has a brushed motor.
