Control Functions
The Super Cub MX comes nearly completely assembled. All the control surfaces have been
pre-connected. Check that the direction of movement is correct for each of the control func-
tions. This is accomplished by first turning on your transmitter (make sure that your throttle
stick is at the bottom position) and then plugging in your charged 1-cell flight battery. Leave the
throttle stick in its off position. The motor will not be activated until the throttle stick is cycled
from the bottom to the top and back to the bottom. Flip the PASS switch located on the right
shoulder of the transmitter away from you, into the Assist Off position. In this position the con-
trol surfaces will only move when the sticks on the transmitter are moved. With the transmitter
sticks in their neutral positions the control surfaces on the aircraft should be neutral.

Arming the Motor
The left stick on the transmitter controls the throttle function. When the transmitter is on and
the aircraft flight battery is plugged in, the electronics will be active but the motor will not be
armed. To arm the motor, cycle the throttle stick from the OFF to the ON position and then back
to OFF. You will hear an arming tone and the next time that the throttle stick is raised the motor
will start.
In normal flight operations, always turn the transmitter on first and then power up the aircraft.
Keep the aircraft still for 3-5 seconds to allow the gyro to properly calibrate before flying. Cycle
the throttle OFF/ON/OFF to arm the motor. When finished flying always unplug the flight
battery first and then turn off the transmitter.
Servo Reversing
If a control surface is moving in the wrong direction the servos operation will need to be re-
versed electronically.
Follow these steps to reverse a servo:
• Turn on the transmitter and plug the flight battery into the airplane.
• Flip the PASS switch to No Assist (Switch toward rear of transmitter).
• Do not arm the motor.
• Hold the control stick for the function that you want to reverse all the way till it stops.
• Hold the control stick in place until you see the control surface change directions - within
3 to 5 seconds.
