 3. By moving the right control stick left, the left 

aileron must move up and the right aileron must 
move down. If they do not, change the position of 
the aileron servo reversing switch on the transmitter. 
When the right stick is moved all the way to the left, 
the trailing edge of the left aileron at the inward 
side should move 

up 3/16" [5mm]

. When the right 

side stick is moved all the way to the right, the left 
aileron should move 

down 3/16" [5mm]

.

 4. The set screw in the prop adapter should be 

checked and tightened 

before

 each fl ight.

 

 5. To start the motor, the throttle stick must fi rst 

be “OFF”, all the way down when switching on 
the transmitter and plane. Then move the stick all 
the way up and hold it there for 5 seconds. Then 
return the stick down. This will “arm” the motor. 
The motor will now operate when the throttle stick 
is moved up. 

NOTE:

 Arming the motor must be 

done each time after the airplane has been turned 
OFF! (Arming of the motor is a sefety feature that 
prevents inadvertant starting of the motor if the 
transmitter is switched on with the throttle stick in 
any position other than full off.)

CHECK THE BALANCE OF THE MODEL

Note: Although your J-3 Cub comes balanced from 
the factory, the balance point should be confi rmed 
using the following procedure. This section is VERY 
important and should NOT be omitted. A model 
that is not properly balanced will be unstable and 
possibly unfl yable.

 1. After the battery pack is charged, open the battery 

hatch. Insert the battery pack inside the fuselage. Do 
not plug the battery pack into the connector inside 
the fuselage. Close the battery hatch.
