EN Sport Cub S 2 Installing the Flight Battery Your Sport Cub RTF transmitter comes pre-bound to the aircraft, so binding should not be necessary. Keep the aircraft and transmitter away from large metal objects, wireless sources or other transmitters while installing the battery. CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po flight battery from the aircraft receiver when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery.
EN Sport Cub S 2 Control Direction Test 1. Place the aircraft into Experienced mode (Mode switch position 2). 2. Face the aircraft away from you. 3. Restrain the aircraft so it does not escape your control while you are testing your transmitter controls. 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.

EN Sport Cub S 2 Takeoff Hand Launch Use the Beginner mode for takeoff in 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. Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h) Climbs at 100% throttle. 100% Ground Launch • Take off from a hard and level runway. • Use the rudder control to keep the aircraft rolling straight.
EN Sport Cub S 2 Flying In Beginner mode, when properly trimmed, your aircraft will climb at full throttle without 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.
EN Sport Cub S 2 Landing Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h) 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.
