GREAT PLANES J-3 ElectriCub Manuel d'instruction
Note: Depending on battery choice, you may have to
remove the cross brace in the battery compartment to allow
the battery pack to fit. This does not adversely affect the
performance of the Mini Cub ARF.

Chargers

The best type of charger to use is a peak charger, because
it charges the batteries until they are fully charged, then
automatically switches to a trickle charge mode. The Great
Planes ElectriFly Peak Charger (GPMM3000) is suitable for
nickel-metal hydride batteries, NiCds and transmitter
battery packs.
If you have another type of charger that is not a peak charger,
you will have to calculate the length of time it takes to charge
the batteries yourself, then turn the charger off when the
batteries are fully charged. Overcharging the batteries can
damage them. Before you can calculate the time it takes to
charge a battery pack, you first must know the charge rate you
are going to use. Nickel-metal hydrides must be charged at a
rate of no more than 1/10 of their capacity. For the 650 mAh
batteries recommended for the Mini Cub ARF this would be a
charge rate of approximately 65 mAh. Divide the capacity of
the battery pack by the charge rate to calculate the charge
time. A discharged 650 mAh battery pack charged at 0.65
mAh will take 10 hours to charge.
IMPORTANT: Monitor the temperature of the battery
frequently. If the battery becomes warm, disconnect it from
the charger.
A Great Planes ElectriFly DC Peak 400 Charger
(GPMM3001) is also suitable for charging the battery packs
used in the Mini Cub ARF.
Note: The period required to charge the battery in the
example is for a fully discharged battery. If the battery you
are going to charge is not discharged (and you are not
using a peak-charger), connect it to the motor on your
model. Run the motor until the auto cutoff on the ESC stops
the motor.

assembly without using any glue, then slightly modify or
custom fit the part as necessary for the best fit.

specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.
