EN The E-flite Carbon-Z Cub ® ® hank you for purchasing the E-flite Carbon-Z Cub aircraft. Like the full-scale Carbon Cub SS airplane available from Cub Crafters, in your hands is a remarkTCarbon-Z ably versatile airplane designed by World Aerobatic Champion, Quique Somenzini, to deliver a pleasure cruiser with incredible muscle.
EN AS3X System Horizon Hobby has always made RC sport, scale and unique aircraft with the kind of performance experts appreciate. First used in Blade® ultra micro flybarless helicopters, MEMS sensor technology within the Artificial Stability--3 axis (AS3X) System has been specifically tuned for airplanes helping invisibly correct for turbulence, torque and tip stalls.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding WARNING AGAINST COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS: If you ever need to replace your Spektrum receiver found in a Horizon Hobby product, always purchase from Horizon Hobby, Inc. or a Horizon Hobby authorized dealer to ensure authentic high-quality Spektrum product. Horizon Hobby, Inc. disclaims all support and warranty with regards, but not limited to, compatibility and performance of counterfeit products or products claiming compatibility with DSM or Spektrum.
EN Battery Installation Battery Selection • We recommend the E-flite 3200mAh 22.2V 6S Li-Po battery (EFLB32006S30). Refer to the Optional Parts List for other E-flite batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-flite Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage without changing the center of gravity a large amount. A 1.
EN Arming the ESC and Receiver Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight battery requires the steps below. AS3X The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time. Once the AS3X is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected.
EN Landing Gear Installation Required Adhesives: Thread Lock D C B Assembly 1. Install 2 tundra tires (A) on the main strut (B) using 4 wheel collars (C) as shown. Ensure the set screws (D) are aligned with the flat spots on the strut. Apply threadlock and tighten. A 2. Compress the legs of the strut assembly and insert the top of the assembly into the slot (E) in the bottom of the fuselage. The strut is fully installed when the L-bend (F) is completely recessed in the fuselage. 3.
EN Rudder Installation Required Adhesives: A Thin CA Assembly 1. Slide the rudder’s CA hinges (A) in the hinge slots (B) of the vertical tail. 2. Install the screw (C) in the rudder mount. 3. Rest the aircraft on its nose, holding the tail up so the thin CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) will flow into the slots. B 4. Bend the hinges by turning the rudder left, then carefully apply thin CA to each hinge in the right side of each slot. 5.
EN Horizontal Tail Installation 1. Slide the horizontal tail tube (A) into the hole in the rear of the fuselage. 2. Install the 2 piece (left and right) horizontal tail as shown. Ensure the control horn faces down. 3. Install 4 screws (B) in the front and rear holes in the bottom of the horizontal tail. A 4. Attach the ball link (C) to the elevator control horn’s outermost hole using the included nut (D) and screw (E). 5.
EN Motor and Propeller Installation 1. Correctly align and connect the motor wire colors with the ESC wires. B 2. Install the motor (A) with pre-installed X-mount (B) on the fuselage using 4 screws (C) and 4 lockwashers (D). 3. Install the collet (E), and back plate (F) on the motor shaft (G). A 4. Install the cowling (H) on the fuselage using 2 screws (I). 5. Install the spinner back plate (J), propeller (K) and nut (L) on the collet. Use a tool to tighten the nut.
EN Wing Installation Before each flight, ensure all wing connectors and fasteners are secure. Assembly Assemble both wings using the following steps. (Only the right wing shown) A 1. Install 6 vortex generators (A) in the wing channels (B) by using doublesided tape (C). C 2. Install the vertical bracket (D) on the wing mounts using 2 screws (E) and 2 lock nuts (F). B TIP: DO NOT overtighten lock nuts on the screws. Ensure the vertical brackets can pivot freely on the wing mounts. 3.
EN Wing Installation continued Installation 1. Slide the wing tube (A) into the fuselage. B 2. Install the left and right wing (B and C) over the wing tube and into the wing slot of the fuselage. A 3. Connect the servo connectors (D) to the respective connectors on the fuselage (connectors are marked AIL or FLAP). D FLAP 5. Install the 2 wing struts on the fuselage mount (G) using 2 pins (H) and 2 R-clips (I). AILE 4.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery (EFLB32006s30) installed in the middle of the battery compartment. 120mm back from leading edge at the root. Control Direction Test Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the proper direction or reverse a servo.
EN Control Surface Centering IMPORTANT: Perform the Control Direction Test before performing control surface centering. Control Surface Centering and Adjusting a Linkage While AS3X is inactive (before advancing the throttle), mechanically center the control surfaces. IMPORTANT: Correct operation of the AS3X system requires sub-trim and trim at 0. • Turn the linkage clockwise or counterclockwise until the control surface is centered. • Attach the linkage to the servo arm or control horn after adjustment.
EN Transmitter Setup IMPORTANT: The AR635 receiver’s default setting in this aircraft is normal mode. We recommend that you do not change this setup. Refer to the receiver manual for more information. A programmable DSM2/DSMX six-channel (or better) transmitter with Dual Rates is required for flying this aircraft with flaps and the optional tow release. The Spektrum™ DX6i, DX7s, DX8, DX10t, DX18 and JR® X9503, 11X or 12X transmitters may be used. Below are Quique’s recommended settings for Servo Travel.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. Flying Field Always choose a wide-open space for flying your aircraft. It is ideal for you to fly at a sanctioned flying field. If you are not flying at an approved site, alwaysavoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields.
EN Post Flight Maintenance 1. Disconnect flight battery from ESC (Required for Safety and battery life). 5. Repair or replace all damaged parts. 2. Power off transmitter. 6. Store flight battery apart from aircraft and monitor the battery charge. 3. Remove flight battery from aircraft. 7. Make note of flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights. 4. Recharge flight battery. Optional Tow Release Installation This aircraft is designed to tow 2- to 3-meter sailplanes.
EN Optional Camera Mount Installation The optional camera mount (EFL1045023) is sold separately. IMPORTANT: Consult local laws and ordinances before installing and operating any type of photograph-capable or video recording device in this product. A 1. Carefully cut a slot (the size of the tab on the camera mount) in the top of the fuselage centered between the wings as shown. 2. Secure the mount on the fuselage by using epoxy. Make sure the mount is secure before installing a camera.
