How to Replace the Prop on a Super Cub LP

The Super Cub LP is a remote-control (RC) hobby airplane manufactured by Hobby Zone. The Super Cub LP utilizes ACT (anti-crash technology) sensors located at the top and bottom of the fuselage to monitor the plane's position in the sky in relation to the ground. Although the Super Cub LP comes equipped and ready to fly, you can customize the plane with special parts, like propellers. Changing the propeller on the Super Cub LP takes about 10 minutes.
