SHOCK CUB 35-55cc Instruction Manual. INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the SHOCK CUB 35-55cc ARTF by SG MODELS . The SHOCK CUB 35-55cc was designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a semi scale airplane which is easy to fly and quick to assemble. The air- frame is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to make it stronger than the av- erage ARTF, yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light.
