damage to people and property.
7. Check plane responds properly to control inputs.
8. Re-check all your control surfaces, airframe, screws and undercarriage etc.
9. If there is no interference on the RC controls then the plane is ready to fly.

FLIGHT

Take-off:
1. Place the model into wind and hold in some elevator, slowly increase the throttle, use the rudder to
keep the Cub flying straight. Slowly ease off some of the elevator and let the tail of the Cub rise
slightly until it is running on the main wheels only, a small touch of up elevator will see the Cub
become airborne.
2. Try and fly straight into wind gaining height, once at height and you are comfortable with the flying
attitude of your plane then adjust the trims for hands off flying. If trimmed correctly the Cub should
fly straight and level at about 50% throttle.
3. Be careful not to over control the plane, just keep the turns gentle and steady and fly at a safe
height as you get used to the Cub's flying characteristics. As you get used to it you should start to
make gentle circular climbs. As you become more familiar with your H-King Navy Cub and your flying
confidence develops the more manoeuvres you can try and perform.
Flight:
1. The plane should fly level at around 50% throttle.
2. The flight time will be prolonged if you are economic with the power, the Cub does not want
to be flown about at full throttle all the time.
Landing:
Now your first flight is coming to an end, it's time to land. Make sure you do a practice approach. After
this approach start your landing pattern beginning with a downwind leg, reducing throttle to slow the
Cub to a suitable speed. Turn onto your base leg part of the circuit, use your rudder elevator and
ailerons to fly a co-ordinated turn. Turn onto final approach keep flying the Cub straight using the
rudder to adjust yaw control, the elevator controls your attitude and the throttle controls your altitude.
Using this method, the Cub is easy to control. Slowly decrease throttle and slowly fly the Cub onto
its main landing gear, when the Cub settles cut the throttle and slowly apply some up elevator.
