It is recommended in the instructions that the Super Cub 

LP controls be set for softer responses and at the outer 

holes of the control surfaces.  However, once you get 

used to the flight characteristics and want to 

perform more aerobatic maneuvers (with ACT off), you 

can change the amount of throw that is permitted by 

moving the clevises to the inner holes of the control 

horns.  After making any adjustments, always turn on the 

transmitter, center the transmitter trim levers and make 

sure the control surfaces are even.  Make the proper 

adjustments to make the surfaces even, if they are not 

(see Step 7).

Note:   By making these changes, the controls will be 

much more responsive.  However, this makes the 
airplane much less forgiving and it will be easier 
to stall.  Remember, crash damage is not covered 
under the warranty.

Aerobatic Flight

Your Super Cub  comes equipped with HobbyZone’s 

exclusive X-Port

 feature. This allows you to add the 

Sonic  Combat Module

 (HBZ4020) to your Super Cub 

for incredible aerial combat. With the SCM, you can 

engage in aerial combat with other X-port equipped 

aircraft. When you successfully “hit” another SCM 

equipped aircraft, a high-pitched sound is emitted.  

This signals the other aircraft’s motor is disabled for 

approximately 10 seconds, while the ability to steer is 

maintained. This allows the opportunity for a safe landing 

or a counterattack. Simply attach the SCM on the 

designated space on the bottom of the fuselage. The 

firing button is at the top of the transmitter. When the 

button is pushed, a high-pitched sound signals the SCM 

has been activated.

The Aerial Drop Module

 (HBZ6023) attaches to the 

exclusive X-port tray included with your Super Cub. 

Simply plug-in the ADM, then attach it to the clip on the 

bottom of the X-port snap-on tray. The ADM allows you 

to drop either streamer bombs or a parachute jumper, all 

of which are included in the ADM.

Note:  Never plug the white balance lead of the battery 

into the X-port socket. If the balance plug of the 
battery is plugged into the X-port, it will damage 
the receiver/ESC unit.

Note:  Refer to page 30 for transmitter switch used to 

operate X-Port.
