Landing
Aerobatic Flight
When you notice that your
Super Cub LP no longer climbs well
under full power, normally after about
10-12 minutes, the battery is getting
low and it is time to land. Line the
airplane up directly into the wind
toward the desired landing spot. At
about 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters) of
altitude, reduce the throttle gradually
until it is completely shut off. Your
airplane will glide in for a landing.
Auto Cutoff: When the battery gets low
enough, this feature will automatically
shut off the motor and save enough
battery power to maintain control of the
tail so you can land correctly and safely.
If the motor cuts off, prepare to land
immediately. If you are gliding down
and have some time to rest the battery,
you may re-arm the motor by moving
the throttle slider back to off and then
advancing it again. This will only allow
the motor to run briefly, and may allow
you to better adjust your landing. Do
not re-arm the motor more than once.
Warning: Do not attempt to catch the
airplane or injury may occur. Turn
the motor off prior to touchdown
in order to prevent damage to the
wing and/or propeller.
Expert Tip: As you get more experienced at
flying, try adding a small amount
of UP elevator just before
touchdown to “flare” the
airplane. With more and more
practice, your landings will be
smooth and on target.

Reduce power at 10 feet
It is recommended in the instructions
that the Super Cub LP controls be set
for softer responses and at the outer
holes of the control surfaces. However,
once you get used to the flight
characteristics and want to perform
more aerobatic maneuvers (with ACT
off), you can change the amount of
throw that is permitted by moving the
clevises to the inner holes of the control
horns. After making any adjustments,
always turn on the transmitter, center
the transmitter trim levers and make
sure the control surfaces are even.
Make the proper adjustments to make
the surfaces even, if they are not (see
Step 7).
Note: By making these changes, the
controls will be much more
responsive. However, this makes the
airplane much less forgiving and it will
be easier to stall. Remember, crash
damage is not covered under the
warranty.
