Flight; Landing; Repair - GREAT PLANES J-3 Cub Instruction Manual

The FlatOuts J-3 Cub can fly fast or slow depending on how
you choose to fly it. For slow flight you will want to fly in a
"High Alpha" or slightly nose high attitude using the power of
the motor to drag it through the sky. You can achieve high
alpha flight more easily flying at an aft C.G. When flying the
FlatOuts J-3 Cub you will find that you will use the rudder for
most all of the turning of the airplane. The ailerons will be
used primarily to level the wings.
Landings are best completed by making your approach with
the airplane in a nose high attitude and "dragging" the
airplane to the ground.
Damage to your plane is inevitable when flying indoors.
However, the simplicity of this model allows it to be repaired
quickly at the flying site. Be sure to put some thick foam-safe CA
glue and CA activator in your field box. You will be able to be
back in flight in a matter of minutes should repair be necessary.
Make a copy of this identification tag and put it on or
inside your model.

Enjoy solo sport flying or exciting combat with another flat
fighter – indoors or out! Made of lightweight, precolored
foam, the FlatOuts Hellcat and Zero indoor ARF models
demand little time, effort or expense – and they're a perfect
way to use your .40 glow trainer experience to learn indoor
piloting skills. Both have a low parts count and factory-
applied trim scheme, so you can have your Hellcat or Zero
flight-ready in as little as 1 to 2 hours. Precut slots in the
foam panels are ready for easy installation of linkages and
radio gear. The wing of each has a Jedelsky-type airfoil
design to improve lift and slow flight characteristics. It also
incorporates a round carbon-fiber spar to keep weight low
and increase strength. Both models include prop, prop
saver/adapter, streamers, and factory-installed motor and
gearbox. Hellcat – GPMA1121, Zero – GPMA1122
ElectriFly Reactor ™ 3D EP ARF
With its generous wingspan, the Reactor 3D electric ARF is
easy to handle and track indoors or out. The wing's ultra-thin
airfoil allows radical attitude changes and gentle handling on
approach. Oversized ailerons, adjustable pushrods and
short, direct linkages combine for crisp, powerful response.
The structure is factory-built from interlocking, laser-cut
balsa parts, with covering already applied, and the
fiberglass cowl and plastic wheel pants are painted to
match. Magnetic "latches" on the cowl and battery hatch
eliminate the need for screw fasteners and offer clean looks
