4. Einrichtung
4.1. Laden des Akkus
Before your first flight, fully charge the included flight battery using the provided charger. Follow the charger's instructions carefully. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface and never leave charging batteries unattended.
4.2. Sendervorbereitung
Install the required batteries (usually AA) into your transmitter. Ensure the transmitter is powered off before proceeding.
4.3. Aircraft Assembly (Minimal for RTF)
As an RTF model, your PA-18 Super CUB comes largely pre-assembled. You may only need to attach the main wing or other minor components. Refer to any quick-start guides or diagrams included in the packaging for specific assembly steps. Ensure all connections are secure and control surfaces move freely.
4.4. Sender und Empfänger koppeln
Your aircraft and transmitter should come pre-bound. If re-binding is necessary, consult the specific instructions for your transmitter and the Reflex V3 flight controller. Typically, this involves putting the receiver into bind mode and then activating bind mode on the transmitter.
5. Bedienungsanleitung
5.1. Vorflugkontrollen
- Ensure all batteries (aircraft and transmitter) are fully charged.
- Verify all control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, rudder, flaps) move correctly and in the right direction in response to transmitter inputs.
- Prüfen Sie, ob der Propeller fest sitzt und keine Beschädigungen aufweist.
- Überprüfen Sie das Fahrwerk auf Lockerheit oder Beschädigungen.
- Confirm the flight area is clear of people, animals, and obstacles.
5.2. Abheben
Place the aircraft on a flat surface facing into the wind. Gradually increase throttle while applying slight up-elevator to lift off. The PA-18's STOL capabilities allow for short takeoffs.
5.3. Flug
Use the control sticks on your transmitter to maneuver the aircraft. The Reflex V3 flight controller assists with stability, making it easier to control, especially for beginners. Practice gentle turns and altitude changes before attempting more advanced maneuvers.
5.4. Landung
Approach the landing strip into the wind. Reduce throttle gradually and use the elevator to control descent rate. Deploy flaps if desired for a slower, more controlled approach. Aim for a gentle touchdown on the main landing gear, then allow the tail to settle.
6. Wartung
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Fms PA-18 Super CUB.
6.1. Nachflugkontrolle
- Check for any damage to the airframe, wings, and tail.
- Inspect the propeller for nicks or cracks; replace if damaged.
- Ensure all control linkages are secure and free from binding.
- Check the landing gear for any bends or loose connections.
6.2. Reinigung und Lagerung
- Wipe down the aircraft with a soft, dry cloth after each flight to remove dirt and debris.
- Store the aircraft in a safe place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture.
- Remove batteries from the aircraft and transmitter during long-term storage.
