Getting Started

If you want to fly, but aren't sure where to start, Hub City Hobby has a wide selection of beginner-friendly airplanes. For younger pilots, try the HobbyZone Mini Super Cub, which combines compact dimensions with full-size fun for an unforgettable flying experience! The Mini Super Cub features HobbyZone's revolutionary Anti-Crash Technology, a three-channel FM radio system, a 7.4V Lithium-Polymer battery with quick charger, and a "Learn to Fly" DVD. Everything you need is included – even four "AA" batteries for the transmitter – all for under $100.00!

Adult beginners will want to check out HobbyZone's full-size Super Cub LP, which combines classic styling with extreme ease-of-use. The Super Cub requires virtually no assembly and comes complete with great features like Anti-Crash Technology and HobbyZone's X-Port, which lets you use optional accessories like the Aerial Drop and Night Flight modules. Once you've mastered the basics of flight, add the optional Float Set and learn to take off and land on the water!

If you'd rather start with a gas plane, Hangar 9 has two great options: the P-51 Mustang Mk II PTS, and the Alpha 40 DSM2 Trainer. Each of these planes can be ready to fly in under an hour, and includes pre-installed Spektrum 2.4GHz radio equipment and a factory-tuned Evolution engine. All you'll need are fuel, a few basic items of field equipment, and a place to fly!

Advanced Options

Once you've mastered the basics, the real excitement starts! No matter what appeals to you – speed, scale performance, or extreme aerobatics – Hub City Hobby has an airplane to suit your style.

If you want to be on the cutting edge of radio control aviation, you'll want to look into electric flight. With recent advances in brushless motors and lithium battery technology, electric powered aircraft have come a long way in a short time. We carry a complete line of electric flight essentials, including Li-Po batteries, brushless motors, brushless speed controllers, foam-safe adhesives, and much more.

If you enjoy hearing the roar of a small engine, Hub City Hobby has an excellent selection of O.S., Evolution, and Saito engines, Omega and Cool Power fuel, plus electric starters, fueling supplies, and everything else you need to keep your gas-burner in the air!
