12 Warning! Important Safety Precautions # First time flyer should never fly by himself / herself. Assistance from experienced flyer is absolutely necessary. # Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly pre-adjusted aircraft. # PIPER J - 3 CUB 8S is specially designed to be powered by C or C engine, using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact, over powered engine may cause severe damage and injuries. # Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get too close to a running propeller. # If you find wrinkles on the covering as a result of weather changes, you can use hot iron to remove the wrinkles. Please begin with lower temperature setting and gradually raise the temperature until the wrinkles are gone. Too hot an iron may damage the covering. Don't use hot iron near the seams or edges, hot iron will melt the glue and shrink the covering at the same time, causing the seams to pull away. # Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary. P.

13 LINKAGE CONNECTOR HW7050 & HW7060 Drill mm hole at servo horn. Insert linkage connector into servo horn. Shoulder Make sure shoulder of screw is cleared from servo horn. Add washer to reduce play if necessary. Tighten up the round nut against the shoulder. Apply CA or permanent thread locker. After fastening the round nut, make sure that the linkage connector can rotate freely.
