Anti-Crash Technology (ACT™) In order to have the most success, and to protect property and your Super Cub LP, it is very important to select a place to fly that is very open. The site should: • Have a minimum of 300 feet (90 meters) of clear space in ALL directions. 60 • Be clear of pedestrians. 0f ee t Your Super Cub LP comes equipped with exclusive Anti-Crash Technology. This software will help prevent crashes due to over-control. The sensors that are located on the fuselage “see” the horizon.
• Never fly at too low of an altitude and expect ACT to save you from a crash. You must maintain an altitude of at least 200 feet (61 meters) for the software to be able to help prevent crashes. • Even when flying with ACT on, if you feel your aircraft is in jeopardy, reduce the throttle immediately and release the stick. You can then add a small amount of up elevator (pull back slightly on the stick), as well, to aid the recovery.
1. Make sure the battery is fully charged. 2. Power on the transmitter. 3. Install and plug in the flight battery. 4. If you are hand launching the aircraft yourself, place the plane in your right hand and the transmitter in your left hand. 5. Use caution and advance the throttle to FULL. 22 6. Take a few steps forward, and launch the airplane DIRECTLY and firmly into the wind, while keeping the airplane and its wings level with the ground. 7.
1. After you have launched your Super Cub LP, it will begin climbing at full throttle. With the throttle advanced all the way forward, your Super Cub LP should not need any elevator input to climb steadily. 2. Make adjustments on the throttle slider and control stick that are necessary to keep your aircraft heading directly into the wind. Do not attempt a turn until you have reached a minimum of 50–100 feet (15.25–30.5 meters) of altitude, about as tall as a four-story building. 3.
Landing Note: I f you’re flying with the motor off, or at a slow speed, allow the Super Cub LP a bit more area for turns. 2. Once you have achieved the altitude where you want to fly, you can reduce throttle to about 50% for cruising. This also allows for longer flights. When you notice that your Super Cub LP no longer climbs well under full power, normally after about 10–12 minutes, the battery is getting low and it is time to land.
Note: B y making these changes, the controls will be much more responsive. However, this makes the airplane much less forgiving and it will be easier to stall. Remember, crash damage is not covered under the warranty. 28 X-Port Your Super Cub comes equipped with HobbyZone’s exclusive X-Port™ feature. This allows you to add the Sonic Combat Module™ (HBZ4020) to your Super Cub for incredible aerial combat. With the SCM, you can engage in aerial combat with other X-port equipped aircraft.
