EN Battery Charging 9 Battery Charging Process Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery while you inspect the aircraft. The flight battery will be required to confirm proper aircraft operation in future steps. This Charger may be connected to a 1.5A AC Power Supply (US Only, HBZ1004), sold separately. NOTICE: Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured. 1.
EN Receiver Selection and Installation The Spektrum AR636 receiver is recommended for this airplane. For an AR636 receiver purchased separately, download the setup for the ParkZone® Sport Cub from www.spektrumrc.com and load it in the receiver, before installing the receiver in the aircraft. If you choose to install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 4-channel full range (sport) receiver, or 5 or more channels with flaps.

Tip: Threadlock may be required to keep the collar on the strut. 2. If desired for scale appearance, install the left and right fairings (E) (marked L and R) on the respective sides of the strut. A C H I 3. Turn the latch (F) and open the battery hatch. 2.5 X 10mm (4) Bag A 4.
EN Wing Assemby and Installation Assembly 1. Install the vortex generators (A) in the wing channels (B) by using doublesided tape (C). CAUTION: DO NOT crush or otherwise damage the wiring when attaching the wing to the fuselage. A 2. Slide the wing tube (D) in the hole in the left wing. C 3. Slide the other end of the wing tube into the hole in the right wing until both wings meet. B 4. Install the wing cover (E) on the top of the wing, aligning the 4 holes as shown.
EN OPTIONAL Flap Installation IMPORTANT: If desired, install the optional flaps before installing the wing. 1. Install a tube on each clevis (Fig. A). A 2. Connect the flap servo (PKZ1090, sold separately) to a servo extension (PKZ5403, sold separately). B Fig. A 3. Connect the servo extension to the AUX1 port of the receiver. Fig. B 4. Power on the transmitter and move the flap or gear switch to the up position. 5. Install the servo arm on the servo at the angle shown (Fig. B). 6.
EN Transmitter Setup IMPORTANT: The AR636 receiver installed in the Bind-N-Fly aircraft has been pre-programmed for operation in this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced or is used in another aircraft. A DSM2/DSMX four-channel (or better) transmitter with dual rates is required for flying this aircraft. The Spektrum™ DX4e, DX5e, DX6i, DX7s, DX8, DX9, DX10t, DX18 and JR® X9503, 11X or 12X transmitters may be used.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is 63 - 66mm back from the leading edge of the wing at the root. Make sure the flight battery is secured using the hook and loop strap. Aircraft CG and weight is based on an E-flite 11.1V 1300mAh 30C battery (EFLB13003S20) installed. 63 - 66mm 2.50 - 2.60 inches back from the leading edge of the wing at the root. Control Direction Test Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move in the proper direction.
EN AS3X Control Direction Test Elevator AS3X Reaction Aileron The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time after the flight battery is connected. Once the AS3X is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected. Aircraft movement Rudder Perform the Control Direction Test to ensure the aircraft responds correctly to your transmitter.
EN Flying Tips Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and trim fully. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor. Range Check your Radio System After final assembly, range check the radio system with the aircraft. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual. Takeoff Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind).
EN Motor Service Disassembly Assembly CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery from the aircraft before removing the propeller. 1. Remove the screw (A) and spinner (B) from the collet (C). 2. Remove the spinner nut (D), propeller (E), spinner backplate (F), backplate (G) and collet from the motor shaft (H). You will need a tool to turn the spinner nut. 3. Remove the 3 screws (I) from the cowling (J). Carefully remove the cowling from the fuselage. Paint may keep the cowling attached to the fuselage.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Aircraft will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Extra propeller noise or extra vibration Possible Cause Throttle not at lowest position or throttle trim too high Solution Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Make sure throttle servo travel is 100% or greater Throttle channel is reversed Motor disconnected from ESC Damaged propeller and spinner, collet or motor Reverse throt
