INTRODUCTION

Your new Carbon Cub SS ARF-QB is a scale airplane. The aircraft builds easily, quickly,

and precisely due to its state of the art CAD design, LASER cut technology, and high quality

included hardware. We hope you enjoy building and flying your Carbon Cub SS ARF-QB.

Great care has been taken in both the design and manufacturing of the Carbon Cub SS ARF-

QB to allow for the strongest and lightest construction possible. Only the highest quality ma-

terials from the covering, paint, wood and hardware have been used in the construction of

this model.

The Carbon Cub SS ARF-QB has been individually hand built, covered and painted by

trained and experienced craftsmen with over 30 years of manufacturing experience. Using

CAD design, laser cut technology and jig-built assures accuracy in all stages of production.

The Carbon Cub SS ARF-QB is designed for gas engines in the 100cc gas category. DLE

111cc engine is shown in the assembly instructions. The aircraft was tested with the DLE

111cc and has outstanding performance. The final choice of engine is left up to the builder.

A computer radio is recommended to allow the pilot to take advantage of the full capabilities

of this aircraft.

IMPORTANT Please read through this manual carefully, before starting the assembly of

your new Carbon Cub SS ARF-QB . Inventory and inspect all parts and hardware for any

imperfections or damage. Notify Aeroworks immediately if there are missing or dam-

aged parts.

INTENDED USE

This plane should not be regarded as a toy. This is an intermediate to advanced skill level model and

is recommended for pilots who are beyond the trainer-stage.

1. Open your kit slowly and take care not to dam-

age any parts of the kit. Remove all parts from

their plastic protective covers for inspection.

Before doing any assembly it is recommended

that the windshield be removed. This will aid in

assembling the model. This item will be rein-

stalled when the rest of the model is finished.

Using a Phillips screw driver remove the wind-

shield from the fuselage as shown below.

Removing Windshield

1. Go over all seams and glue joints with thin CA,

this will ensure your model lasts for many sea-

sons to come.

Note: Even if you can visibly see glue on all glue

joints it is still recommended that the joints be

reglued. Due to changes in humidity during the

life of the aircraft glue joints can separate, it is

always recommended that the glue joints be

checked before each flying session.

Checking Glue Joints

2. Use thin CA to reglue any accessible glue joint

as shown below.

1. Check each control surface to ensure that the

hinges are securely glued in place. It is also rec-

ommended that this be done after each flying

session. If a loose hinge is found, please contact

Aeroworks for further instructions.

Checking Hinges

14

1. Two Window hangars have been provided with

your 100cc Carbon Cub SS. These hangars can

be used to hold the windows in the up position

while working on the airplane.

Window Hangars

3. Slide the hook portion of the hangar over the

bottom edge of the window.

4. The straight portion of the hangar will be placed

inside the fuse through the aileron/flap extension

access hole as shown.

2. The window hangar will be placed on the win-

dow and through the cutout in the fuse side as

shown.

15

1. Before starting any assembly or installation of

any decals it is very important to re-shrink or re-

tighten the already applied covering. Due to the

shipping process, heat and humidity changes

from different climates, the covering may be-

come lose and wrinkle in the sun. If you take the

time to re-tighten the covering, you will be re-

warded with a long lasting beautifully covered

model.

TIGHTENING AND RE-SHRINKING THE COVERING

2. Using your covering iron with a soft sock, gently

apply pressure and rub in the covering. If any

bubbles occur, your iron may be to hot. Reduce

heat and work slowly.

3. If bubbles persist, use a small pin to punch

holes in the bubble to relieve trapped air and

reheat.

4. DO NOT use a heat gun near the side windows.

Heat applied directly to these surfaces will cause

the material to deform and bubble.

Aeroworks is not responsible for heat

related damage to windows/windshield

therefore, will not replace any parts

damaged by excessive heat.

16

1. Go over all seams and color overlaps with your

sealing iron.

Note: Even if your models covering has no wrin-

kles out of the box it is still very important to go

over all seams and overlaps to make certain they are

sealed securely. This is especially important at the

leading edges of the wings and stabs. We recom-

mend checking the covering after each flying ses-

sion.

CHECKING SEAMS AND COLOR OVERLAPS FOR GOOD SEAL

2. Use your covering iron to ensure all edges,

seams, and color overlaps are securely sealed.

3. Go over all hinge gaps ensure there are no

wrinkles. Excessive wrinkles in the hinge

line can cause binding and or damage the

covering.

IMPORTANT:

It is the responsibility of the purchaser /

operator to check the covering seams and

overlaps for security and a good seal.

Aeroworks is not responsible for failure of

covering seams or overlaps during flight.

Note: If covering continues to lift apply a small

amount of thin CA underneath the covering.

Then using a clean rag apply pressure to secure.

One of the most important tools in your

flight box is a roll of clear tape. This can be

used at the field for fast and easy repairs of

the covering. Then once you have finished

flying the covering can be permanently

repaired.

1. Your model is covered with Ultracote™ covering.

In case of repairs, the colors are:

2. Layout the servos as shown below. Install the

extensions at this time and double check exten-

sion length.

3. Attach the 48” extension to the aileron servo

lead and secure with Aeroworks Safety Clip.

vibration or light tension. Safety clips available

from Aeroworks.

4. Fasten the pull string from the servo hole to the

male plug of the servo extension.
