Thank you for purchasing the Model Tech Super Cub ARF. We're confident that the quality of your new aircraft meets and even
exceeds your expectations. Before completing the final assembly of your new aircraft, please carefully read through these
assembly instructions in their entirety. Doing so will ensure your success the first time around!
These assembly instructions are designed to guide you through the entire assembly process of your new aircraft in the least amount of
time possible. Along the way you'll learn how to properly assemble your new aircraft and also learn tips that will help you in the future.
We have listed some of our recommendations below. Please read through them before beginning assembly.
l
Please read through each step before beginning assembly. You
should find the layout very complete and straightforward. Our goal
is to guide you through assembly without any of the headaches and
hassles that you might expect.
l
There are check boxes next to each procedure. After you
complete a procedure, check off the box. This will help prevent you
from losing your place.
l
Cover your work table with brown paper or a soft cloth, both to
protect the table and to protect the parts.
l
Keep a couple of small bowls or jars handy to put the small parts
in after you open the accessory bags.
l
We're all excited to get a new aircraft in the air, but take your
time. This will ensure you build a straight, strong and great flying
aircraft.
