Congratulations on your purchase of the HobbyZone® Super Cub Floats. These floats add a new level of fun and excitement to your Super Cub. Note: O nly use the floats if you are comfortable flying your Super Cub and have repeatedly and successfully taken off, flown and landed. Flying off water poses a higher risk to the airplane because the electronics can fail if immersed in water. Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.
• Remove contents from the box and inspect for missing parts or any damage. Step 1 Step 1 Assembly • Install the landing gear with the wider top portion into the front holes on the floats. Next install the front spreader wire into the second holes on the floats. Install the rear spreader wire into the third holes on the floats. Finally, install the rear landing gear legs with the narrower top portion into the rear holes on the floats.
• Install the eight 3mm x 10mm Phillips head machine screws into the floats making sure the screws are tightening against the flat spots on the wires. • Install 10 x 8 propeller included with the float kit*. Do not use the 9 x 6 prop included with the airplane as there will not be enough power to successfully fly on floats. *W hen using the 10 x 8 propeller, it is essential that you allow approximately 10–15 minutes between flights in order to allow the 480 motor to properly cool.
Step 2 Success Tips • Install the landing gear straps on the rear float mount with the included self-tapping screws. Note: I f installing the floats on the original red and white Super Cub (HBZ7100), refer to page 9 of this manual for installation of the rear float mount. Prior to each flight, make sure ACT is off and never attempt to fly with the floats with ACT on. When flying with floats always take off and land into the wind.
Success Tips (continued) Installing Floats on the Red and White Super Cub When finished flying off water check all components for water, if any water is in the airplane or around the battery cavity, dry with a paper towel. If installing floats on your red and white Super Cub (HBZ7100), you will need to install the included rear float mount on the fuselage. Check for water inside the floats.
Press hard enough to leave marks in the foam on the fuselage to indicate what foam needs to be removed. Set the rear mount aside, then slowly cut away where the foam is compressed by the rear float mount until the mount is flush with the bottom of the fuselage.
Warnings and Saftey • Do not fly off of water if you are uncomfortable flying the Super Cub on land. Only use the floats if you can fly the Super Cub without having any incidents and can take off and land smoothly and multiple times in a row. • Do not fly in wind over 5–7 mph (8-11km/h) as wind will cause larger waves and make the plane more susceptible to flipping over. Glue the rear float mount into the fuselage using epoxy, making sure not to get epoxy in the screw holes.
Warnings and Saftey (continued) • Always allows 10-15 minutes for the motor to cool between flights when flying with the 10 x 8 propeller. The Super Cub’s 480 motor may be damaged if you don’t follow this warning. Prior to each flight, make sure ACT is off and never attempt to fly with the floats with ACT on. Warranty The Super Cub Floats are guaranteed against any manufacturing defects at the time of production.
