Step 3 J-3 Cub Instruction Manual Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone® J-3 Cub BL. Your J-3 Cub BL has come with everything needed to get you in the air—all in one box! You will only need to attach the wing and landing gear, as well as charge the battery prior to flight. We at ParkZone are committed to giving you the most enjoyable flight experience possible. In order to have a safe and successful flight, we ask that you do not fly until you have read these instructions thoroughly.
Step 4 continued You must charge the included Li-Po battery pack with a Li-Po specific charger only (such as the included charger). Never leave the battery and charger unattended during the charge process. Failure to follow the instructions properly could result in a fire. When charging, make certain the battery is on a heat-resistant surface. Charging the Aircraft Battery: 1. The 12V DC 2S Li-Po balancing charger provides a charge current of .8 amps. The typical charge time for the included 7.
Step 7 Making Adjustments to the Control Surfaces 1. Any changes necessary to bring both the rudder and elevator to neutral (zero degrees) when the transmitter stick is centered should be possible using the trim levers. 2. If you find this is not the case, do not fly until this has been corrected. Step 10 3. If corrections are needed, you may have to adjust the length of the pushrod by removing the clevis from the control surface horn and turning the plastic clevis as necessary.
Step 13 Runway Takeoff 1. Prior to attempting a runway takeoff, you should have had several successful flights of hand-launching the J-3 Cub BL. 2. Make certain the aircraft battery is fully charged. 3. Turn on the transmitter. 4. Plug in the aircraft battery. 5. Stand behind the J-3 Cub BL and take note of the wind so that you can take off directly into it. Make certain you are on smooth asphalt or concrete. Step 14 6.
Step 16 Using Elevator Your J-3 Cub BL is equipped with a third channel for elevator (pitch control). Pulling back on the stick provides up elevator. This allows for shorter takeoffs, better flares for landing, better climb rates, and more effective turns. However, pulling too far back on the elevator to climb too quickly will cause the airplane to enter a stall (make the nose of the plane come down). To avoid crashing from a stall, always maintain enough altitude to recover.
Warnings and Safety 1. Read and follow this manual completely, observing all instructions and safety directions. Otherwise, serious injury and damage can occur. Think safety first. 2. Keep propeller away from body parts, even when it isn’t spinning, as it could be turned on by accident. Beware of hair becoming entangled in the propeller, especially while launching the J-3 Cub BL. 3. Do not fly when it’s too windy or you may lose control and crash, causing injury or damage.
WARNING: For your safety, when checking the startup function of the ESC or making programming changes, please remove the propeller to prevent any potential injury. You should always treat the motor and propeller as live and dangerous, remembering that it could start at any time, and keep any body parts, clothing and tools clear of the propeller arc. NEVER LEAVE THE BATTERY CONNECTED WHEN NOT FLYING THE AIRCRAFT AND ALWAYS REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE MODEL BEFORE CHARGING AND WHEN FINISHED FLYING.
