Runway Takeoff (ROG)
Your Mini Super Cub can be launched by way of a runway
takeoff (ROG). However, this is not recommended for
inexperienced pilots.
1. Make sure your landing gear is properly installed.
2. Stand behind your Mini Super Cub and point it directly
into the wind on smooth asphalt or concrete.
3. Apply FULL power via the throttle and adjust the control
stick as necessary to keep the aircraft headed directly
into the wind.
Flying
1. After you have launched your Mini Super Cub, it will
begin climbing at full throttle. With the throttle advanced
all the way forward, your Mini Super Cub should not need
any elevator input to climb steadily.
2. Make adjustments on the throttle stick and control
stick that are necessary to keep your aircraft heading
directly into the wind. Do not attempt a turn until you
have reached a minimum of 50–100 feet (15–30 meters)
of altitude (about as tall as a four-story building).
3. Control range is 1300 feet, so if you fly beyond that,
you will lose control of your airplane. At that distance,
4. If the battery is fully charged, your Mini Super Cub
should lift off the ground in approximately 30 feet
(12 meters). Apply some up elevator by pulling back
on the stick, and the plane will lift off of the ground in a
shorter distance. Remember, only a small amount
of up is needed. Too much will cause a stall after your
aircraft has left the ground.
however, you would likely lose sight of your airplane
before you'd lose control.
4. Don't let your airplane get too far downwind from you.
Always fly with the airplane UPWIND from you. Failure to
do this could result in a fly-away! Remember, the wind is
stronger as your plane flies higher in the air. It's ok to fly
higher, just be cautious and watch how your plane reacts
to the wind. Most of the time, you can fly at higher alti-
tudes at half-throttle. This is great for smooth, easy flying
when you're first learning to fly and it also conserves
battery power.
