In order to have the most success, and
to protect property and your Super Cub
LP, it is very important to select a place
to fly that is very open.
The site should:
• Have a minimum of 300 feet
(90 meters) of clear space in ALL
directions.
• Be clear of pedestrians.
• Be free of trees, buildings, cars,
power lines, or anything that could
entangle your airplane or interfere
with your sightline.
• Remember, your Super Cub LP
can reach speeds of up to 30 mph
(48km/h), so it can cover ground
quickly.
• Plan on flying in an area that gives
you more space than you think you
need, especially with first flights.
600 feet
We know you want to fly your Super
Cub LP as soon as you have it. How-
ever, flying in too much wind can place
your aircraft in jeopardy. On your first
flights, make sure that the winds are no
more than 5-7 mph (8-11km/h).
To check the wind conditions:
• Tie the red ribbon to the transmitter
antenna.
• Hold the transmitter so the antenna
is parallel to the ground.
If the flag hangs down, it is calm enough
to fly. If the angle between the antenna
and the flag is less than 20 degrees, it
is too windy and you need to postpone
your flight.
