Congratulations on your purchase of the HobbyZone® Zone 1 Super Cub LP. Your Super Cub LP comes with everything needed to get you in the air, and because it’s a Zone 1 product, it is specifically designed for you to be able to teach yourself to fly. You will only need to thoroughly read the instruction manual, attach the wing, tail and landing gear, and then charge the flight battery prior to your first flight. ground, and they tell the on-board computer that the plane is flying correctly.
The charger included with your Super Cub LP uses unique circuitry that ensures an accurate charge every time and protects your Li-Po battery from the dangers of overcharging. This charger continually monitors the battery and automatically stops charging when the battery is fully charged. DC Li-Po Balancing Charger Features • Charges 3-cell lithium polymer battery packs at 1.
Landing Gear Attachment 1. Remove the battery cover and install the included 8 AA batteries. 1. L ocate the included wire landing gear. 2. Be certain that you observe proper polarity when installing the batteries, and then replace the cover on the transmitter. 2. S lide the landing gear into the allotted slot on the bottom of the fuselage. 3. To test the transmitter’s function, turn on the switch on the front of the transmitter. The LED should glow brightly. 4.
1. Locate the wing and strut screws that are included. 2. Place the wing so that it is centered on the top of the fuselage. 3. Use the included rubber bands to secure the wing by attaching two bands straight across the top of the wing, where each end is attached to each set of wing hold-down rods, and criss-crossing two diagonally across the top of the wing. 4.
. Attach the clevis from the rudder pushrod into the outermost hole of the control horn on the rudder, and slide the clear rubber sleeve down over the clevis. 7. Attach the clevis from the elevator pushrod into the outermost hole of the control horn on the bottom of the elevator. Slide the clear rubber sleeve down over the clevis. Again, refer to the instructional video for a more detailed explanation. Tail Control Test 1. M ake certain the throttle slider is in the “off” position.
6. If your airplane is not responding, DO NOT FLY IT! Please refer to the Troubleshooting section at the back of this manual for more information. If you still need assistance, call the Horizon Hobby Support Team at 1-877-504-0233. 7. When you are satisfied your airplane is set up properly, you can unplug the flight battery and then turn off the transmitter. This should be done every time you have finished flying.
Choose a Calm Day 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. We know you want to fly your Super Cub LP as soon as you have it. However, flying in too much wind can place your aircraft in jeopardy. On your first flights, make sure that the winds are no more than 5-7 mph (8-11km/h). The site should: • Have a minimum of 300 feet (90 meters) of clear space in ALL directions. • Be clear of pedestrians.
Prior to your first flight, you will need to perform a range test. Two people are needed to do this—one to hold the airplane and one to hold the transmitter. Anti-Crash Technology (ACT) Warning: T he person holding the airplane needs to make sure the propeller will not come in contact with any clothing, hair, or parts of the body. 1. One person holds the transmitter while the other person walks 100 paces away with the Super Cub LP. 2. Be sure the throttle slider is in the “off” position. 3.
released the steering stick and returned it to neutral. With ACT Without ACT If, with ACT on, you enter into a threatening dive, you will notice the following: • You will hear the motor power decrease as the ACT programming overrides your input. This slows the speed of the airplane and will reduce the risk of a crash. • The ACT software will give up elevator input to help pull the nose up and out of the dive.
Your Super Cub LP is equipped with a third channel for pitch control (elevator). Pulling back on the transmitter stick will cause the nose of the airplane to raise and allows for tighter turns, shorter runway takeoffs, flares for landing, a better climb rate and the ability to perform aerobatic maneuvers, such as loops and stalls.
Your Super Cub LP can be launched by way of a runway takeoff (ROG). However, this is not recommended for inexperienced pilots. Flying 1. Make sure your landing gear is properly installed. 2. Stand behind your Super Cub LP and point it directly into the wind on smooth asphalt or concrete. 3. Apply FULL power via the throttle slider and adjust the control stick as necessary to keep the aircraft headed directly into the wind. 4.
7. It may be helpful to fly in smooth large ovals at higher altitudes so you can get used to steering the plane with the nose coming at you. Flying with the plane coming toward you takes some practice and is one of the hardest things to get used to when you first begin to fly.
Auto Cutoff: When the battery gets low enough, this feature will automatically shut off the motor and save enough battery power to maintain control of the tail so you can land correctly and safely. If the motor cuts off, prepare to land immediately. If you are gliding down and have some time to rest the battery, you may re-arm the motor by moving the throttle slider back to off and then advancing it again. This will only allow the motor to run briefly, and may allow you to better adjust your landing.
Optional Floats Repairing Minor Damage Once you are an accomplished pilot and you are ready for the next exciting challenge, you may want to try the thrill of float flying. The Super Cub LP has the mounts installed for the optional HobbyZone Super Cub LP floats (HBZ7390). Refer to the float manual for installation and tips on float flying. If you happen to crash, and part of the tail or wing breaks, it can be repaired by using packing tape to cover the missing pieces.
Warnings and Safety Checklist 1. Read and follow this manual and the included DVD completely, observing all instructions and safety directions. If you do not do this, serious injury and damage can occur. Think about safety first. 2. Keep the propeller away from all body parts at all times! Beware of loose clothing or hair becoming entangled in the propeller. 3. Never fly when it is too windy or you may lose control of the airplane.
Success Tips 1. Don’t fly in winds over 7 mph (11km/h). First-time pilots should get help from an experienced radio control pilot during first flights. 2. Choose your flying field carefully— grass and soft ground with a 600foot (183-meter) diameter of open space is optimal for flying and will lengthen the life of the Super Cub LP. Make sure there are no obstacles that will get in your way when flying, such as trees or buildings.
