Great job HH. You hit the ball out of the park [again] with this one.

OMG THIS JASON GUY AGAIN, I WATCHED HIS EFLITE ULTIMATE VIDEO A WEEK AGO AND YOU GUESSED IT ORDERED ONE, NOW THIS 💸💸💸💸

Very informative and sold! My Habu arrives later this week! So exciting!

Nice concept Jason and Horizon Hobby!!! Would love to fly this with my friend who’s “learning to fly” , sent him a link for it, thanks as always guys👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼🔥🔥

Looks great! Nice work Horizon Hobby!

Thank you for this extremely informative and well explained video. Wow does the RTF Habu check all the right boxes, and it's nice to see it comes with a respectable controller.

Great job Jason 👍✈️♥️

Must’ve been a lot of science to optimize the Habu airframe to fly as a beginner aircraft. As a DIY RC aircraft designer, I salute you!

Man that’s so cool

Great tutorial Jon

Hi Jason. I love the plane. I would like to know the ready to fly weight of the aircraft.

I have a question on the LAS. When you flare for a landing, at perhaps 1/4 throttle, an aircraft will normally want to gain altitude and then stall, unless you reduce throttle to prevent this. With the LAS installed, does the pilot still need to reduce throttle or will the 'Flight Controller' take care of all that? So do you just come in at say 1/4 throttle with maybe a 10 degree angle of descent, and then just let the aircraft do it all? Thank you.

For someone who has drone experience but zero rc plane experience, would you recommend a traditional trainer such as the Apprentice or Carbon Cub as a 1st plane or go with this Habu? My end goal would be flying jets so starting with something like this would be nice. Oh, I plan on putting in a lot of sim time before my first flight of anything.

What is the cutoff voltage? Just got a dx6e and don’t really know what the voltage means

Hope that Horizon will sell retracts EFLG110 again, because fit perfect in this model .

Thank you

What receivers is the LES sensor compatible with? I'd love to add that functionality to a different non-Eflite plane.

@HorizonHobbyProducts

The Spektrum LAS (Landing Assist Sensor) is only compatible with the Spektrum Flight Controller installed in the RTF version of the Habu STS (and also the Spektrum Flight Controllers installed in the Apprentice STS and the HobbyZone Carbon Cub S 2). The Flight Controller is only currently compatible with the Spektrum 4650C "SRXL2 DSMX Receiver with Connector Installed" ( www.horizonhobby.com/product/srxl2-dsmx-receiver-with-connector-installed/SPM4650C.html ). And it's not currently possible to install the LAS and corresponding Flight Controller/Receiver in other models because they cannot be programmed by the user.

I would love a vtol airplane that takes off like a drone, but has the flight time of around 25-30 min like a plane. I'm surprised drones seem to have longer flight times than a lot of planes available.

If I bought the airplane now would I get the use dongle?

can you put jet noise whisles in it

Got it thanks

I like this. My DX9 should work just fine with the BNF one.

Hi guys, I recently bought my Habu. Sometimes (in trainer mode) it suddenly points down the nose and doesn’t respond to up elevator input. Any ideas why this is happening?

How much does it cost for the ready ready fly version could you please tell me

great, now i need one asap so i can have the rf-trainer sim

Hi, I just got this rtr habu but I want to fly it with my dx6 radio. I have the dx6 programmed finished ready to bind but should I bind it with a bindplug on the 3230B or just press the bindbutton on the serial receiver 4650? Just want all fuctions to work properly safe flightmodes etc as the stock dxs radio has... /Pierre

Both methods will work! But many people find it's easier to use the bind plug because they are more familiar with that.

No longer comes with battery, charger or RealFlight. What a bummer. Did the price come down when you removed those? I see it's on sale for $330 now. ($50 off)

Too bad RF Trainer isn’t released yet! Son wanted to start flying ASAP, so we had to pony up the extra $$ for the full version. No patience!

Can you bind to a dx6 radio and still have all the same features

@HorizonHobbyProducts

3 жыл бұрын

Yes! You will just need to program the transmitter accordingly to assign the Flight Modes to a 3-position switch.

Can anyone confirm that the RTF Version is still shipping with the RealFlight Trainer version and the wireless dongle? Some online retailers still have it listed in what's included, but the Horizon Hobby site does not.

Our current stock still includes RF Trainer Edition and the wireless dongle, but stock arriving in the future will no longer include them (starting ~3 months from now).

Hi. I have another question for you... My son has been flying with the simulator that came in the rtf habu and we bound the dxs to the real flight dongle so my question is do we need to bind the dxs to the habu before first flight now or is it still bound to the plane after we bound the dxs to the simulator ? /Pierre

You can have multiple receiving devices bound to a single transmitter so you should not need to bind it to the airplane again.

Yes! The RTF version includes a 3S 4000mAh 30C battery and it will also fly on a 3S 3200mAh 30+C battery. Or you can install a 4S 3200mAh to 4000mAh battery for more power!

What about landing asist how do you activated

@anybodysguess960

3 жыл бұрын

Good question. In both landings in the other video using LAS, one shows using the remote while the other landing shows him putting the controller on the ground to allow it to land. I’m thinking you just have to lower the elevator all the way and it will kick in

@HorizonHobbyProducts

3 жыл бұрын

The LAS (Landing Assist Sensor) is optional, and when it's installed/connected it works automatically in the Beginner and Intermediate modes when the airplane is within a few feet of the ground. The LAS is turned off/not activated when you are in the Experienced mode.

"safety issues" is a polite way of saying your "battery can, and will, explode if you charge over 4.2 volts per cell or discharge it less than 3.3 volts per cell"

No BNF Basic option for this one due to the added cost associated with the flight controller (which includes a barometer that offers the "invisible floor" functionality, makes upgrading to the LAS and other functions possible) and serial receiver included in the RTF version. Those cost more than an AR636 or AR637T receiver, and would have made the price for a BNF Basic version about $60 more than the PNP version. That said, we do plan on providing an AR636 model file that includes AS3X and SAFE Select tuned for the Habu STS so anyone who has a spare 636 and would like to install it in the PNP version can. We may also offer a Habu STS setup for the AR637T, but the 636 is our priority for now since so many people already have those receivers on hand.
