Throttle Adjustment
7. It may be helpful to fly in smooth
large ovals at higher altitudes so you
can get used to steering the plane
with the nose coming at you. Flying
with the plane coming toward you
takes some practice and is one of
the hardest things to get used to
when you first begin to fly.
Sharp turns: Move the stick in the
direction you want to turn and add a
bit of UP elevator at the same time (pull
back on the stick). The plane will make
a sharper banking turn.
1. When launching, the throttle should
be all the way on.
2. Once you have achieved the
altitude where you want to fly, you
can reduce throttle to about 50%
for cruising. This will also allow for
longer flights.
3. If you want to reduce altitude,
reduce throttle to less than 50%.
4. To increase altitude again, increase
throttle to more than 50%.
Rudder trim: If the Super Cub LP
seems to drift in one direction when the
control stick is in the neutral (centered)
position, gradually move the rudder
trim lever (below the control stick) in the
OPPOSITE direction of the drift. Adjust
until the plane flies straight with the
control stick at neutral.
Elevator trim: If the model “hunts” up
or down, use the trim lever to the left
of the stick to correct this problem. If it
hunts up, slide the left trim lever up one
notch at a time until it flies level. The
model should fly straight with the stick
at neutral. Your Super Cub LP should
have a steady climb at full throttle when
it is trimmed properly.
Note: If you’re flying with the motor off, or at
a slow speed, allow the Super Cub LP a
bit more area for turns.
