Carbon Cub S+ 1.3M EN In flight Let the aircraft climb at full throttle, into the wind, until the aircraft gets about 300 feet (91m) above the ground, then decrease the throttle to half (50%). Make small and gentle stick movements to see how the aircraft responds. Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hardest things to do when learning to fly. Practice flying in large circles high off the ground.
Carbon Cub S+ 1.3M EN Landing When it is time to land the aircraft, either activate AutoLand mode or land the aircraft manually. Hold for 3 sec. to activate AutoLand mode AutoLand Mode To activate AutoLand mode, press and hold the HP/AL (bind) button for 3 seconds.

Carbon Cub S+ 1.3M EN Landing Manually If it is necessary to land the aircraft manually: 1. Reduce the throttle to around 50% to slow the airspeed. 2. Fly the aircraft downwind past the end of the runway. 3. Turn the aircraft into the wind and line the aircraft up with the runway center line. 4. Decrease the throttle further and begin descending towards the runway, keeping the wings level during approach. Try to have the aircraft at 10ft altitude as it passes over the threshold of the runway. 5.
