• It takes approximately 30–40 minutes to charge a fully dis-

charged (not over-discharged) battery. As the battery nears 

full charge, the LED light will begin to blink. When 

the battery is fully charged, the LED light will blink 

approximately every 20 seconds or will go out entirely.

Note:  The Li-Po battery included with your J-3 Cub will arrive  

partially charged. For this reason the initial charge may 

only take 15–20 minutes.

Note:  You can expect to charge the Li-Po flight battery 

approximately 15–20 times before it will be necessary 

to replace the AA batteries in the charger. Replacing 

the included batteries with alkaline batteries will result 

in more charge cycles than with the included batteries.

Note:  If LED remains on for longer than 40 minutes 

while charging and/or 5 seconds after removing the 

Li-Po flight battery, please replace the AA batteries in 

the charger.

This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to 

interference from many sources outside your control. This 

interference can cause momentary loss of control so it is 

advisable to always keep a safe distance in all directions around 

your model, as this margin will help avoid collisions or injury.

Age Recommendation: 14 years or over. This is not a toy.  

This product is not intended for use by children without
