EN Super Cub S Flying In Beginner mode, when properly trimmed, your aircraft will climb at full throttle without use of the elevator stick. • The aircraft flies 7 minutes or more on a battery charge, using proper throttle management. • If the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery. • Make small and steady control stick movements for smooth control of your aircraft.
EN Super Cub S Optional Transmitter Setup If using any DSMX transmitter other than the included DXe (3 pos gear switch) the radio will have to be configured correctly for the SAFE system to work properly. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for more information about transmitter setup. If you are using a 2 position switch for SAFE flight modes, only Beginner and Experienced modes will be active.
EN Super Cub S Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) NOTICE: Repeated flying to when the motor pulses will damage the battery. For your first flights, set a timer for 7 minutes to avoid flying until the motor pulses. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights once you have flown the aircraft. • The aircraft protects the flight battery from accidental over-discharge by applying LVC, removing power supplied to the motor. • LVC causes the motor to pulse, but power remains to steer the aircraft.
