3. To land the Piper J-3 Cub, fl y down wind, past the
landing area. Gently turn into the wind and reduce
the throttle so that the airplane starts to come down.
Adjust the throttle as needed to reach the landing
area, but not fl y past it. Always land into the wind.
4. Just before landing, at about 1 foot above the
ground, apply a little up elevator to fl are (raise the
nose of the airplane). This will cause the airplane
to slow and settle to the ground.
Caution: If, during a rough landing, the propeller
on the Piper J-3 Cub should become jammed and
cannot rotate with the throttle in the run position,
the battery and speed control will become very
hot. Immediately move the throttle stick down to
stop the motor. If you fail to do this, the motor,
speed control and/or battery will be damaged.
AFTER THE FLIGHT
Switch off the airplane. Then, switch the transmitter
off. Unplug the battery from the airplane and
remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Allow the motor and battery to cool before
recharging. Check the airplane over to make sure
nothing has come loose or may be damaged.
REPAIRS
Even the best R/C pilots in the world damage their
airplanes every now and then. In the unfortunate
event that you damage your airplane, repairs are
fairly simple to make yourself. If there are any
cracks in the wing or fuselage, apply 6-minute
epoxy or white glue to the broken areas and hold
together with clear packaging tape. Let the glue
cure, leaving the tape in place for added strength.
