HobbyZone Super Cub • Instruction Manual
Landing
1. The Super Cub flies for approximately 10–12 minutes on one battery charge.
When the model climbs slower at full throttle, land the model and recharge
the battery.
2. Decrease the throttle and bring the model down to landing by pointing the
model’s nose into the wind, aligned with the length of your chosen runway.
3. When the model is approximately 10–15 feet (3–4.5 meters) above the
ground, slowly decrease the throttle until the throttle is fully off.
4. Carefully glide your model into landing, using little or no moves of the elevators
and rudder.
5. Use only very small amounts of throttle as needed to maintain control.
6. Fully decrease the throttle at landing to prevent damage to the wing and
propeller.
NOTE:
When flying skills are developed, use a little UP elevator (pulling the eleva
-
tor stick back) to “flare” the model. Using flare at landing can bring the model
down smoothly in a small landing area.
WARNING:
Do not catch the flying model in your hands; personal injury
and/or damage to the model can result.
Repairing Minor Damage
When there is minor damage from a crash:
• Use packing tape to cover small holes.
• Repair foam parts with foam-compatible CA.
• Replace a bent or broken wing, fuselage and tail before flying again.
• Buy replacement parts using
