4. Move the sticks on the transmitter to ensure the aircraft responds as shown.
5. If the aircraft responds as shown, move the SAFE® mode switch to Beginner mode (Position 0) to prepare to fly.
   Refer to the Binding instructions and Troubleshooting Guide in this manual for more information. If you need more assistance, contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support department

Mode 2 shown

SAFE® Control Direction Test

Perform the Control Direction Test to ensure the aircraft responds correctly to your transmitter. Once you are sure the aircraft responds correctly, move the aircraft as shown to ensure the SAFE system moves the control surfaces in their proper direction. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Contact Horizon Hobby Product Support.

The SAFE system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time after the flight battery is connected. Once the SAFE is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. SAFE will remain active until the battery is disconnected

Before Your First Flight

Before attempting to fly this aircraft for the first time, we recommend using the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator (RFL1205, sold separately), along with the MLP6C transmitter included with the RTF version to learn and practice the basics of flying. The included transmitter may be connected to a PC for simulator use with a standard USB-C cable. Featuring six popular Horizon Hobby trainer aircraft and built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons, new pilots can learn to fly successfully by practicing on a PC at home or on a laptop just about anywhere else!

We also encourage you to connect with experienced RC pilots in your area through hobby shops or at designated flying fields. And for those located in the United States, we recommend joining a national organization such as the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The AMA can provide information on local clubs, instructors and established flying sites in your area in addition to insurance coverage. Visit www.modelaircraft.org for more information.

Takeoff

Hand Launch

Use the Beginner mode for takeoff in the first flights. Get help to hand launch your aircraft so you can concentrate on flying. If you must hand launch the aircraft alone, hold the aircraft in your dominant hand and the transmitter in your other hand.

Ground Launch

• Take off from a hard and level runway.
• Use the rudder control to keep the aircraft rolling straight.
• Turn the aircraft only after it is high off the ground.

Flying

In Beginner mode, when properly trimmed, your aircraft will climb at full throttle without the use of the elevator stick.

• Set a flight timer for 6 minutes.
• If the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.
• Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hardest things to do when learning to fly. To practice piloting the aircraft, try flying in large circles high off the ground.

Adjusting Trim in Flight

Familiarize yourself with your transmitter’s controls and the aircraft’s response before flying by performing the recommended Control Direction Test. Press the trim buttons on your transmitter to adjust how the aircraft flies. If the aircraft’s nose drifts while the sticks are at neutral (centered) and the throttle is at 50%, press the trim buttons:

• Upper button to stop up drift
• Lower button to stop down drift
• Left button to stop right drift
• Right button to stop left drift
• Left button to stop right roll
• Right button to stop left roll
  If you press a trim button until no beep sounds and the aircraft does not fly straight and level, land and manually adjust the trim as described below.

Manually Adjusting Trim

Press the trim buttons to return to center (3 beeps will sound), then use a pair of pliers to carefully bend the metal U-Bend:
Only adjust the elevator to the neutral position immediately after powering on and before SAFE has been activated by advancing the throttle.

• Narrow for negative adjustment (Down elevator/aileron or rudder left)
• Widen for positive adjustment (Up elevator/aileron or rudder right)

Landing

Fly to your runway, keeping the aircraft pointed into the wind and the wings level. Bring the aircraft down by lowering the throttle to 25%.  Near the ground, fully lower the throttle and pull back on the steering stick.

CAUTION : Never catch a flying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft.

After Flying

1. Lower the throttle stick completely and do not move the steering stick. Wait at least 5 seconds.
2. Disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft. Keep hands away from the propeller.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Fully charge the aircraft battery.
5. Remove the battery after charging is complete.

NOTICE : When you are finished flying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot,  enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
NOTICE : Always disconnect the battery from the aircraft before powering off the transmitter or injury and damage may result.

Repairs

Repair this aircraft using foam-compatible CA(cyanoacrylate adhesive) glue or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA glue as other types of glue can damage the foam. When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for
ordering by item number. For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the back of this manual.

NOTICE : Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the aircraft until the accelerant fully dries.

Settings for Control Horns

The illustration shows factory settings for linkages on the control horns. After flying, if you want to modify the control throw, carefully adjust the linkage positions for the desired control response.

Motor Service

CAUTION : DO NOT handle propeller parts while the flight battery is connected. Personal injury could result.

Assembly And Disassembly

Disassembly

1. Disconnect the battery from the ESC/receiver.

2. Carefully cut the tape and decals on the side of the fuselage and behind the canopy to remove the top of the fuselage.
   IMPORTANT : Removing tape or decals can remove paint from the fuselage.

3. Hold the prop shaft using needle-nose pliers or hemostats.

4. Turn the propeller counterclockwise (facing the front of the model) to remove. Turn the propeller clockwise to install.

5. Carefully remove the damaged spinner and glue from the propeller.

6. Hold the nut (A) on the end of the prop shaft using needle-nose pliers or hemostats.

7. Turn the gear on the shaft clockwise (facing the front of the model) to remove the nut.

8. Gently pull the shaft (B) from the gearbox (C) and make sure the washer (D) and two bushings (E) are not lost.

9. Disconnect the motor from the ESC/receiver.

10. Gently push the motor out of the gearbox and remove the motor through the top of the fuselage behind the ESC/receiver.

NOTICE : DO NOT remove the gearbox from the aircraft. Damage to the aircraft will result.

Assembly

Assemble the aircraft using the instructions above in reverse order.

• Correctly align the prop shaft gear with the pinion gear on the motor.
• Connect the motor to the ESC/receiver so that the powered motor turns the propeller counterclockwise (facing the front of the model).
• Make sure the propeller size numbers (130 x 70) face away from the motor (see illustration).
• Attach the spinner to the propeller using foam-compatible CA (Cyanoacrylate adhesive).
• Assemble the fuselage using clear tape.

Optional Floats

To fly this aircraft off the water, install the optional E-flite® Float Set (EFLUA1190, sold separately). A rear float mount is included with the aircraft. Install it in the open slot on the bottom of the fuselage using foam-compatible CA. Refer to the float manual for installation instructions.

• Taking Off on Water
  • To take off on water, steer with the rudder and slowly increase the throttle.
  • Keep the wings level on takeoff. Hold a small amount (1/4–1/3) of up elevator and the aircraft will lift off once flying speed is reached. Avoid rapidly increasing the throttle, as torque from the motor may cause the aircraft to roll to the left when on water.
• Landing on Water
  • To land on water, fly the aircraft to a couple of feet off the surface of the water. Reduce the throttle and add up the elevator to flare the aircraft. When taxiing, you must use some throttle to create a propeller blast over the rudder to steer, as there is no water rudder.
    Avoid taxiing crosswind if there is a breeze, as this can cause the aircraft to flip over if the wind gets under the upwind wing. Taxi 45 degrees into the direction of the wind (not perpendicular to the wind) and use an aileron to hold the upwind wing down. The aircraft will try to face into the wind when taxiing. The wind naturally turns the aircraft to face into the wind.

Re-Binding the RTF Transmitter

Your Sport Cub RTF transmitter comes pre-bound to the aircraft. If you need to re-bind your aircraft, follow this binding table.

Binding Procedure

1. Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the aircraft. 3
2. Ensure the transmitter is powered OFF.
3. Connect the flight battery to the aircraft and turn the aircraft upright. The receiver LED will begin to flash (typically after 5 seconds).
4. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle is in a low position.
5. Put the transmitter into bind mode by pushing the left control stick vertically into the case (until it clicks) while powering ON the transmitter. Release the transmitter stick.
6. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the end of the manual.
7. Disconnect the flight battery and power the transmitter off.
