Technical Performance
The HobbyZone Tail Set for the Carbon Cub S+ 1.3m is engineered to maintain the precise aerodynamic characteristics that make the Carbon Cub series such a popular and capable trainer aircraft. The tail assembly includes the vertical stabiliser and horizontal stabiliser components that work together to provide stable, predictable flight handling. These components are constructed from durable materials selected to withstand the regular wear and tear of recreational flying whilst maintaining their structural integrity over hundreds of flights. The manufacturing tolerances ensure that when installed, the tail set provides perfect alignment with the fuselage, which is critical for maintaining straight and level flight without requiring constant trim adjustments. The assembly integrates seamlessly with the standard Carbon Cub S+ 1.3m airframe, with all mounting points matching the original specification precisely.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the HobbyZone Carbon Cub S+ tail set compatible with other Carbon Cub models? — This tail set is specifically designed for the Carbon Cub S+ 1.3m model. While the HobbyZone Carbon Cub family shares many similarities, it's important to check your aircraft's manual or contact our customer service team to confirm compatibility if you own a different variant such as the Carbon Cub S or Carbon Cub S2, as tail components may differ between models.
- How difficult is it to install this replacement tail set? — The installation process is straightforward and designed to be accessible to pilots of all experience levels. The tail set mounts to the fuselage using standard attachment points, and most pilots can complete the installation in under an hour without specialist knowledge. We recommend consulting your Carbon Cub S+ instruction manual for specific guidance on removal and installation procedures.
- What causes tail damage on RC aircraft? — Tail damage commonly occurs from hard landings, ground collisions during takeoff or landing, or contact with obstacles during flight. Having a spare tail set on hand means you can quickly swap out the damaged components and get back to flying, making it a worthwhile addition to your spares collection.
- Will this tail set affect the flight characteristics of my Carbon Cub S+? — No, this genuine replacement tail set is manufactured to identical specifications as the original equipment, so it will not affect your aircraft's handling, stability, or performance. Your Carbon Cub S+ will fly exactly as designed once the repair is complete.

- Can I use this tail set as an upgrade or just for repairs? — This component is a direct replacement for the standard Carbon Cub S+ 1.3m tail assembly.
