Making Adjustment to the Control Surfaces
1. Any changes necessary to bring both
the rudder and elevator to neutral
(zero degrees) should be able to be
done by using the trim levers on the
transmitter. To do this, place the
control stick at center, and use the
slider button below the stick to
adjust the rudder (vertical surface)
until it is fl ush with the stationary
section of the rudder assembly. To
adjust the movable section of the
elevator so that it is fl ush with the
stationary section of the elevator
assembly, use the slider button to
the left of the control stick.
2. After this, if you fi nd you are not able
to get the control surfaces fl ush with
each other, do not fl y until things
have been corrected.
3. If corrections are needed, and moving
the trim lever(s) is not adequate,
you will need to:
a. Turn on the transmitter.
b. Insert the battery pack into the
fuselage and plug the battery into
the lead from the airplane.
c. Return the trim levers to center.
d. Remove the clevis from the control
surface horn and adjust the length of
the pushrod by turning clevis the
appropriate direction. Turning clock-
wise makes the pushrod shorter and
counterclockwise makes it longer.

Choose a Large, Open Grass Field
Step 9
In order to have the most success,
and to protect property and your
Super Cub, it is very important to
select a place to fl y that is very open.
The site should:
• Have a minimum of 300 feet
(90 meters) of clear space in
ALL
directions.
• Be clear of pedestrians.
• Be free of trees, buildings, cars,
power lines, or anything that could
entangle your airplane or interfere
with your sightline.
• Remember, your Super Cub can reach
speeds of up to 30 mph (48 k/h), so it
can cover ground quickly.
• Plan on fl ying in an area that gives
you more space than you think you
need, especially with fi rst fl ights.
