We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the
quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends
on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way
guarantee the performance of your completed model,
and no representations are expressed or implied as to the
performance or safety of your completed model.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED
Radio Control System
The Piper Super Cub comes with the servos installed, so all
that is required is a 4-channel transmitter and receiver. The
Tactic ™ TTX404 2.4GHz spread spectrum 4-channel radio
control system (TACJ0404) is included with the RTF (ready
to fl y) version of the Piper Super Cub, so this same radio
system is ideal for your RXR version, too.
❏
Tactic TTX404 2.4GHz 4-channel system (TACJ0404)
❏
(8) AA batteries will be required to operate the
recommended transmitter (FUGP7308).
❏
A 6" [152mm] servo extension wire (HCAM2000) will also
be required.
Battery and Charger
Your Piper Super Cub was designed for the Flyzone 1300mAh
11.1V LiPo battery (HCAA6310). Other batteries similar in
size with the same voltage and capacity may also work, but
they may not fi t properly in the battery compartment or have
the same kind of battery connectors. In addition to a battery,
a LiPo battery charger is also required and there are several
that will work (depending on your budget and requirements).
A safe, economical charger is the Great Planes ® 3S
(3-cell/11.1V) LiPo Smart Charger (GPMM3318). The Smart
Charger includes adapters to charge from a 110V wall outlet
or a 12V DC outlet from a car. The Smart Charger charges
at a rate of 800mA, which works out to a charge time of an
hour-and-a-half (1300mAh divided by 800mA = 1.625 x 60
minutes = 97 minutes). But some pilots prefer to have several
batteries and charge them faster so they can fl y more. For
charging up to four batteries faster (60 minutes) all at the
same time, the Great Planes PolyCharge4
™ DC-powered
LiPo charger (GPMM3015) is recommended. But unlike the
included ElectriFly charger, the PolyCharge4 does not have
an internal LiPo cell balancer which is a critical component in
making sure your LiPo batteries charge effi ciently and evenly.
So, for each LiPo battery you wish to charge simultaneously,
one Great Planes Equinox
™ LiPo Cell Balancer (GPMM3160)
will also be required. Finally, the PolyCharge4 does not have
AC capability, so if wall-charging is a priority a separate A/C
12-Volt power source must also be purchased separately.
A suitable power supply for the PolyCharge4 is the Great
Planes 12V 12A DC power supply (GPMP0901).
Required Assembly Tools
Other than common hobby tools this is the list of adhesives
and building supplies that are required to fi nish the Cub.
❏
Small needle-nose pliers (HCAR0625) or hemostats
(BRUR1302)
❏
#1 Phillips screwdriver (DTXR0174)
❏
Thread-locking cement (GPMR6060)
❏
Small crescent wrench
❏
Great Planes stick-on lead weight (Optional, GPMQ4485)
