The Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a two-seat, single-engine mono-
plane. It was developed from the Piper PA-11. In close to 40 years
of production, over 9,000 were built. Super Cubs are commonly
found in roles such as bush flying, banner towing and glider
towing.
The FMS 1700mm PA-18 was launched in 2019, and its stable,
easy-to-fly and easy-to-operate features have brought full surpris-
es to both new and old pilots. While this trainer has been widely
praised, FMS has been constantly asked whether it is possible to
reduce the size of the aircraft, including the aircraft itself and the
packaging, while maintaining its stability and operating controlla-
bility as much as possible, so that it can be picked up like a board-
ing suitcase.
With the 1300mm PA-18, FMS has answered the above question.
The 1300mm PA-18 also adopts a two-section main wing and
horizontal stability structure, but at the same time, the fuselage is
also two-section, which greatly facilitates players' transportation
and carrying. It can be hidden in the corner of a car trunk, ready to
be used at any time.
Thanks to its functional flaps, high-lift airfoil, rugged landing gear
and oversized pneumatic rubber tires- the 1300mm PA-18 Super
Cub has impressive short take-off and landing (STOL) perfor-
mance, allowing it to operate from just about any terrain.
In addition, the assembly steps of the 1300mm PA-18 are still
simple and convenient, and the assembly and disassembly of the
entire aircraft can be completed with just a few screws.
For pilots wanting to get the genuine bush-plane experience, the
PA-18 Super Cub can be equipped with floats.
The latest 1300mm PA-18 could be a great start to enjoying
versatile, fun and exceptionally relaxing flight.

ImportantESCandmodelinformation
The ESC included with the model has a safe start. If the motor battery is connected to the ESC and the throttle stick is not in
the low throttle or off position, the motor will not start until the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position. Once the
throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position, the motor will emit a series of beeps. Several beeps with the same tune
means the ESC has detected the cells of the battery. The count of the beeps equals the cells of the battery. The motor is now
armed and will start when the throttle is moved.
The motor and ESC come pre-connected and the motor rotation should be correct. If for any reason the motor is rotating in the
wrong direction, simply reverse two of the three motor wires to change the direction of rotation.
The motor has an optional brake setting. The ESC comes with brake switched off and we recommend that the model be flown
with the brake off. However, the brake could be accidentally switched on if the motor battery is connected to the ESC while the
throttle stick is set at full throttle. To switch the brake off, move the throttle stick to full throttle and plug in the motor battery. The
motor will beep one time. Move the throttle stick to low throttle or the off position. The motor is ready to run and the brake will
be switched off.
Battery Selection and Installation. We recommend the 11.1V 2200mAh 25C Li-Po battery. If using another battery, the battery
must be at least a 11.1V 2200mAh 25C battery. Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimension and
weight as the 11.1V 2200mAh 25C Li-Po battery to fit the fuselage without changing the center of gravity significantly.

Before getting started, bind your receiver with your transmitter.
Please refer to your transmitter manual for proper operation.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, DO NOT install the
propeller assembly onto the motor shaft while testing the
control surfaces. DO NOT arm the ESC and do not turn on the
transmitter until the Transmitter Manual instructs you to do so.
Tips: Make sure all control sticks on your radio are in the
neutral position (rudder, elevator, ailerons) and the throttle is in
the OFF position. Make sure both ailerons move up and down
(travel) the same amount. This model tracks well when the left
and right ailerons travel the same amount in response to the
control stick.
Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft
control surface moves correctly. See diagrams right.

Controlhornandservoarmsettings
ChecktheC.G.(Centerofgravity)
60mm-70mm
The table shows the factory settings for the control horns
and servo arms. Fly the aircraft at the factory settings
before making changes.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage pos-
itions for the desired control response.
When balancing your model, adjust the battery as necessary
so the model is level or slightly nose down. This is the correct
balance point for your model. After the first flights, the CG
position can be adjusted for your personal preference.
1. The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for your
model is(60-70mm) from the leading edge of the main wing (as
shown) with the battery pack installed. Mark the location of the
CG on top of the wing.
2. When balancing your model, support the plane at the marks
made on the bottom of the main wing with your fingers or a
commercially available balancing stand. This is the correct
balancepointforyourmodel.Makesurethe model is assembled
and ready for flight before balancing.

Findasuitableflyingsite
Performtherangecheckforyourplane
Monitoryourflighttime
Find a flying site clear of buildings, trees, power lines and
other obstructions. Until you know how much area will be
required and have mastered flying your plane in confined
spaces, choose a site which is at least the size of two to three
football fields - a flying field specifically for R/C planes is best.
Never fly near people - especially children, who can wander
unpredictably.
As a precaution, an operational ground range test should be
performed before the first flight each time you go out.
Performing a range test is a good way to detect problems
that could cause loss of control such as low batteries, defective
or damaged radio components, or radio interference. This
usually requires an assistant and should be done at the actual
flying site you will be using.
First turn on the transmitter, then install a fully-charged battery
into the fuselage. Connect the battery and install the hatch.
Remember, use care not to bump the throttle stick. Otherwise,
the propeller/fan will turn and possibly cause damage or injury.
Note: Please refer to your Transmitter Manual that came with
your radio control system to perform a ground range check. If
the controls are not working correctly or if anything seems
wrong, do not fly the model until you correct the problem. Make
certain all the servo wires are securely connected to the
receiver and the transmitter batteries have a good connection.
Monitor and limit your flight time using a timer (such as on a
wristwatch or in your transmitter if available). When the
batteries are getting low you will usually notice a performance
drop before the ESC cuts off motor power, so when the plane
starts flying slower you should land. Often (but not always)
power can be briefly restored after the motor cuts off by
holding the throttle stick all the way down for a few seconds.
To avoid an unexpected dead-stick landing on your first flight,
set your timer to a conservative 4 minutes. When your alarm
sounds you should land right away.

Beforeflyingthemodel
Flyingcourse
While applying power, slowly steer to keep the model straight.
The model should accelerate quickly. As the model gains flight
speed you will want to climb at a steady and even rate. It will
climb out at a nice angle of attack (AOA).
Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your plane. It is
ideal for you to fly at a sanctioned flying field. If you are not
flying at an approved site always avoid 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. Consult laws and
ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. After
takeoff, gain some altitude. Climb to a safe height before trying
technical manoeuvres, including high speed passes, inverted
flight, loops, and point rolls.
Land the model when you hear the motor pulsing (LVC) or if
you notice a reduction in power. If using a transmitter with a
timer, set the timer so you have enough flight time to make
several landing approaches.
The model’s three point landing gear allows the model to land
on hard surfaces. Align model directly into the wind and fly
down to the ground. Fly the airplane down to the ground using
1/4-1/3 throttle to keep enough energy for proper flare. Before
the model touches down, always fully decrease the throttle to
avoid damaging the propeller or other components. The key to
a great landing is to manage the power and elevator all the
way to the ground and set down lightly on the main landing
gear. After a few flights you will find the model can be set down
lightlyon the mains and you can hold the nose wheel off
balancing themodel on the mains until it slows and gently
settles the nose.
Repairs to the foam should be made with foam safe adhesives
such as hot glue, foam safe CA, and 5min epoxy. When parts
are not repairable, see the Spare Parts List for ordering by item
number.
Always check to make sure all screws on the aircraft are
tightened. Pay special attention to make sure the spinner is
firmly in place before every flight.

BrushlessESCIntroduction
This function supports switching the motor rotation to decelerate when the airplane landing to the ground. The factory
default is OFF, the 1Pin signal wire is completely invalid at this time. If you need to turn it on, using Phone App or trans-
mitter to program it “ON”, plug the 3Pin signal wire into the throttle channel, and plug the 1Pin signal wire into any
2-stage switch channel of the receiver, then turn on the transmitter 2-stage switch. The SMR function is turned on now,
you can change the forward and reverse directions of the motor by flipping the 2-stage switch of the transmitter.
1. SMR Function: OFF/ON
2. Brake Type: OFF/Soft/Mid/Hard
3. Timing: Auto/Low/Mid/High(5°/15°/25°)
4. Motor Rotation: CW/CCW
5. SR function: ON/OFF
The synchronous rectification function makes ESC with higher driving efficiency and more energy-saving.
6. Battery cells: Auto/2S/3S/4S/5S/6S
7. Low Voltage Cutoff Threshold: OFF/NIMH50%/NIMH60%/3.0V/3.2V/3.4V/3.6V
For example: using 3 lithium batteries and setting 3.0V as the low voltage cutoff value, then the low voltage protection threshold
is: 3*3.0 = 9.0V
8. Low Voltage Cutoff Type: Reduce Power/Cut Off Power
Reduced power: When the voltage drops to the set low-voltage protection threshold, the ESC will reduce power to 70%.

After the programmable item selected, then you will hear several tones in loop as follows on each programmable item, set the
value matching to a tone by moving throttle stick to top position when you hear the tone, then the motor will emit special tone
like “123”, means this value is set and saved.
For example: If you want to set the motor rotation, when you hear four short tones of "Beep", moving the throttle stick to the
bottom position within 2 seconds, means you enter the motor rotation menu. One short tone of "Beep" is forward direc-
tion(CW), two short tones of "Beep" is reverse direction(CCW). If you want to set to reverse direction(CCW), moving the
throttle stick to the top position when you hear the two short tones of "Beep", then you will hear a special confirmation tone
like “123”, which means the “CCW” is set and saved.
Keeping the throttle stick at top, you will go back to programming mode and you can select other items; or moving the stick
to bottom within 2 seconds will exit program mode directly).
Tones Programmable items

1. Start-up protection: If the motor fails to start normally within 2 seconds after pushing the throttle to start, the ESC will cut
off the output power, and you need to make the throttle calibration again, then ESC can be restarted. Possible reasons:
disconnection or poor connection between ESC and motor, the propeller or motor is blocked by other objects, the gearbox is
damaged, etc.)
2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over about 110℃, the ESC will automatically reduce the output
power for protection, but will not fully shut down the power, reduce it to 70% of the full power at most to ensure the motor has
enough power to avoid crashes.
3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will reduce the output power if throttle signal is lost for 1 second, will cut off output
to the motor if the throttle signal is lost over 2 seconds. If the throttle signal recovers during power down, the ESC will immedi-
ately resume throttle control. In this way, the ESC will not protect when the signal loss less than 2 seconds, only when the
signal lost is over 2 seconds or longer time.And the ESC will reduce the output power gradually instead of cutting off it imme-
diately, so the player has certain amount of time to save the plane, taking into account safety and practicality.
4. Over load protection: The ESC will cut off power or restart automatically when the load increased a lot suddenly, possible
reason is the motor blocked.

Die Piper PA-18 Super Cub ist ein zweisitziges, einmotoriges
Flugzeug. Sie wurde aus der Piper PA-11 entwickelt. In fast 40
Jahren Produktionszeit wurden über 9.000 Exemplare gebaut.
Super Cubs werden häufig für Buschflug, Bannerschlepp und
Segelflugzeugschlepp eingesetzt.
Die FMS 1700mm PA-18 wurde 2019 auf den Markt gebracht
und viele Piloten begeistert. FMS wurde daraufhin immer wieder
gefragt, ob es möglich sei, das Modell so weit wie möglich zu
verkleinern, so dass es wie ein Koffer mitgenommen werden
kann.
Mit der 1300mm PA-18 hat FMS eine Antwort auf diese Frage
gefunden. Die 1300-mm-PA-18 verfügt über eine zweiteilige
Fläche, ein zweigeteiltes Höhenruder und auch einen zweiteili-
gen Rumpf um den Transport zu erleichtern.
Dank der funktionellen Klappen, des robusten Fahrwerks und
den überdimensionalen Gummiluftreifen verfügt die 1300 mm
große PA-18 Super Cub eine beeindruckende STOL-Leistung
(Short Take-Off and Landing), die es ihr ermöglichen, auf nahezu
jedem Terrain zu operieren.
Darüber hinaus sind die Montageschritte der 1300mm PA-18
immer noch einfach und bequem, und die Montage und Demon-
tage des gesamten Flugzeugs kann mit nur wenigen Schrauben
durchgeführt werden.
Für Piloten, die ein echtes Buschflugzeug-Erlebnis haben wollen,
kann die PA-18 Super Cub auch mit optionalen Schwimmern
ausgestattet werden.
Merkmale:
• Vorinstallierte kugelgelagerte Schubstangen für erhöhte Präzi-
sion
• Leistungsstarker 3536-850KV Motor mit 40A ESC sorgt für
ausreichenden Schubkraft für jede Situation
• CNC-Metallfahrwerk für nicht ganz so perfekte Landungen
• Überdimensionierte Gummiluftreifen für den Einsatz in jedem
Gelände
• STOL-fähig (hebt in weniger als 3m/10ft ab)
• Vorinstallierte Navigations- und Landescheinwerfer
• Zweiteiliger Rumpf
• Zweiteiliger Flügel und Höhenleitwerk für einfachen Trans-
port
• Flügelholme aus hochfester Kohlefaser
• Großer Akkuschacht
• Robuste Zweiblatt-Nylon-Propeller
• Funktionelle Klappen
• Optionale Schwimmer
