PRECAUTIONS
Your Micro Super Cub should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very
much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the Micro Super Cub, if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.
1. Operate the plane according to the instructions. DO NOT alter or modify the model. If you make any modifications,
you void your warranty.
2. Test the operation of the model before each flight to ensure that all equipment is operating properly and that the
model remains structurally sound.
3. Fly only indoors or outdoors on very calm days (with wind speeds less than 5mph) and in large open areas free of trees, people, buildings, or any other obstacles.
4. Although the Micro Super Cub is designed to be successfully flown by the first time pilot, you may still benefit from the assistance of an experienced pilot for your first flights. If you’re not a member of an R/C club, your local hobby shop has information about clubs in your area whose membership includes experienced pilots. You can also contact the National Academy of Aeronautics (AMA) which has over 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Instructor training programs and insured newcomer training are available through any of these clubs. Contact the AMA at the following address or toll-free phone number:
Academy of Model Aeronautics
5151 East Memorial Drive Ph. (800) 435-9262 Muncie, IN 47302-9252 Fx. (765) 741-0057
The R/C model hobby becomes more and more enjoyable as your experience grows. Your chances for success and
graduation to higher levels are very good if you take your time and follow the flying instructions carefully and completely. We hope you enjoy flying your Micro Super Cub.

GLOSSARY
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Battery: Rechargeable battery which is used to power the airplane. LiPo batteries are
lighter and smaller than most other types of rechargeable batteries.
Transmitter (Tx): This is the hand-held unit that sends the signal to the control unit, or receiver (Rx).
Rudder: The control surface on the airplane that turns the plane left and right.
Elevator: The control surface that makes the plane climb and descend.
Servo: The device on the model that moves the control surfaces.
Glide Slope: The proper path for an airplane approaching a landing strip.

INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF THE LIPO BATTERY
Keep hands clear of propeller during battery installation and removal.
Use two fingers to secure connector during battery installation and removal.
Disconnect and remove the battery after use by holding the battery lead with two fingers and removing the battery from the lead with the other hand. Do not yank or jerk the battery from the aircraft. This could pull the TR421 Rx
board loose from the fuselage.
Connect the LiPo to the battery. Press battery into
place to secure.

CHECK THE CONTROL SURFACE DIRECTION
Moving the right stick to the left causes the rudder to move left.
Moving the right stick down causes the elevator to move up.
CENTER THE CONTROL SURFACE DIRECTION
Before flight, center rudder control surface with rudder trim adjustment.
Before flight, center elevator control surface with elevator trim adjustment.
7
REVERSE THE CONTROL THROWS
Unplug the battery from the plane before reversing the control throws. Only perform this procedure if the control surfaces move in the wrong direction.
Press and hold one of the corresponding control surface trim buttons and cycle the power to reverse any control surface.
ARM THE PROPELLER
Keep hands and onlookers clear of the propeller during arming and operation.
Throttle control stick is in the low or minimum position.
ADJUSTMENT OF LINKAGES: ELEVATOR AND RUDDER
To increase or decrease the control throws, follow these steps. Be sure to unpower the model before attempting to mechanically adjust the linkages.
Moving the pushrod outward decreases the control throw
Moving the pushrod inward increases the control throw
Raise the throttle control stick to the maximum or high position. «Beep»
Return the throttle control stick to the minimum position. The motor is now armed.
«Beep Beep»
Use caution when removing and reinstalling the pushrod in the control horn to avoid accidentally disconnecting the linkage from the Rx board.

RANGE CHECK
With the transmitter turned on and the battery plugged into the Super Cub, walk 50' [15m] from the aircraft and check the control functions for proper operation.

FLYING THE SUPER CUB
With the throttle stick in the full up position, hand launch the Super Cub into the wind (or if inside, launch in a direction that will provide you with the largest available space to make your first turn), at a slight upward angle. The Cub can also take off from the ground if the surface is smooth.
When your airplane is moving away from you, moving the right control stick to the left will make your plane turn to the left. Moving the stick to the right will make the airplane turn to the right. A small amount of up elevator (move the right stick down) will keep the plane level during the turn.
Don’t let the airplane get too far away from you. The farther away it is, the harder it is to see what the airplane is doing. When learning to fly, it is best to keep the airplane high enough so that if you make a mistake, you have enough altitude to correct the mistake.

PROPELLER REPLACEMENT
To replace or reinstall the propeller, unpower the model, then hold the motor shaft with needlenose pliers and push the propeller back onto the shaft. Once re-installed, add a drop of CA glue to the propeller to hold it to the shaft.
