Sport Cub S DX6 = Success!!
Five days ago I test flew the Horizon Hobby RTF Sport Cub S, and the flights did not go well. See my video below:

I was not happy with the flight and was puzzled, as usually these E-Flite planes fly very well. I thought about it, and a commenter wrote in that perhaps the problem lay with the transmitter supplied with the Cub.
The Cub instructions show how I can bind this airplane's receiver to other Spektrum transmitters, so I decided to do another flight, this time with the Spektrum DX6 transmitter.
The next flight went perfectly with the DX6. The AA3X worked smoothly and I flew with SAFE off. There are some tips and techniques with both binding the transmitter and assigning channels for the SAFE operation, and I discuss this in the video.
In short, if you have problems flying the Sport Cub S with the supplied transmitter, do try to fly it with a regular Spektrum transmitter. I am super happy with the model now.
