The HobbyZone® Champ Anniversary Special Edition is a tribute to 25 years of HobbyZone and 40 years of Horizon Hobby excellence. At Aerobertics, we’re proud to offer this enhanced version of a classic that has taught countless pilots to fly.
Whether you're completely new to radio-controlled aviation or already have experience, the Champ SE is designed to help you build confidence in the air. Thanks to Horizon Hobby’s exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, the aircraft actively helps you avoid overcontrol, loss of orientation, and crashes. Switch between Beginner and Experienced modes with a simple button press to match your skill level and grow with the aircraft.
This Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes everything you need in one box: from the Spektrum MLP4DSM 2.4GHz transmitter to the 1S 150mAh LiPo battery, USB charger, and even AA batteries for the transmitter. There’s no additional purchase necessary, making it a perfect all-in-one solution for first-time flyers or those looking for a convenient, reliable aircraft.
Don’t be fooled by its beginner-friendly design – the Champ SE also delivers a fun flying experience for seasoned pilots. Its powerful electric motor provides long flight times and enough performance for basic aerobatics like loops and stall turns. Its ultra-micro size makes it ideal for flying in smaller spaces such as backyards, parks, or indoor courts.
Durable construction with advanced EPS foam means it can handle the bumps of learning, and repairs are easy with common foam-safe adhesives. At Aerobertics, we also stock a full range of spare parts, extra batteries, and optional accessories such as higher-capacity LiPo batteries and multi-port chargers.

Learn to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology
If this is your first RC airplane, revolutionary and Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology prevents overcontrol and crashes. It also offers multiple flight modes to deliver more control and capabilities at the flip of a switch/push of a button as your skills progress:
Beginner Mode
In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch (up/down) and bank (left/right) angle limits that prevent overcontrol, which could lead to a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the airplane automatically returns to level flight, allowing you to relax and enjoy simply “steering” the aircraft through the sky. Best of all, takeoffs are as simple as giving full throttle and letting the airplane fly off a suitable surface or giving it a quick hand launch, and landings are as easy as lowering the throttle and letting it glide to a landing on its own.
Experienced Mode
This flight mode has no pitch or bank angle limits, so you have complete control! You can even perform basic aerobatic maneuvers, including loops, stall turns, and more.
