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:

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.

PRECAUTIONS
LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERY RECYCLING
ATTENTION: The product you have
purchased is powered by a rechargeable
battery. At the end of the battery’s useful
life, under various state and local laws, it
may be illegal to dispose of this battery
into the municipal waste system. Check with your local
solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling
options or proper disposal.
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known
to the State of California to cause cancer.
● 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.

Do not use the charge feature while flying the Super Cub!
Peel the paper backing from the
adhesive tabs at the ends of the
wing struts.
Press the tabs onto the indents on
the underside of the wing, making
sure that the struts align with the
indents on the fuselage.
Press the other ends of the struts
onto the indents on the fuselage,
being careful not to affect the
angle of the wing.
INST ALL THE WING STRUTS
Keep hands clear of propeller during battery installation and removal.
Use two fingers to secure
connector during battery
installation and removal.
Connect the LiPo to the battery. Press battery into
place to secure.
6
INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF THE LIPO BATTERY
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.

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.
Keep hands and onlookers clear of the propeller during arming and operation.
Throttle control stick is in the low

ARM THE PROPELLER
Press and hold one of the corresponding
control surface trim buttons and cycle the
power to reverse any control surface.
REVERSE THE CONTROL THRO WS
Unplug the battery from the plane before reversing
the control throws. Only perform this procedure if the
control surfaces move in the wrong direction.
9
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.
