1. Press Ctrl+E on your keyboard.

2. After the engine starts, you need to apply the brakes. Use the period key on
your keyboard or a button defined for the brakes on your stick. (1)

3. Use the throttle control to bring the engine to its idling speed of about 600
rpm

4. Move the Cub around on the ground. Pull the stick all the wayback.

5. Advance the throttle to about 1500 rpm.

6. When you�re moving, you can reduce the throttle to 1300 rpm.

7. The runway is the lighter brown area at Post Mills

8. Steer the Cub to the right side of the runway and then use full left rudder to
turn 180� so you�re facing in the opposite direction from where you
started, lined up as best you can in the center of the runway.

9. After you�ve turned around, taxi forward for just a bit. You are now at the east
end of the Post Mills airport.

10. Set the trim to give us a particular angle of attack as we climbed.

11. Now advance the throttle to full forward. Keep the stick full back,

12. Now push the stick forward, and the tail should rise. You�ll suddenly be able
to see where you�re going.

13 When the airspeed reaches 55 mph, gently pull back on the stick, and the Cub
will lift off . Now let go of the stick.

14. The Cub should settle in to climb at about 60 mph.

15. Congratulations! You�re flying.

Experiment with trim

trim sets the airspeed the airplane will naturally return to when left to its own
devices.

1. Pull back on the stick until you see 50 mph on the airspeed indicator. Now let
go.

2. The airplane should return to 60 mph eventually.

You can manually set it to 60 mph with the stick and then let go, and it should
stay there.

3. Now push the stick forward, and let the airspeed grow to 80 miles an hour. Now
let go.
The airplane zooms back upward and it eventually settles down on 60 mph.

4. Now reduce the power to 1900 rpm. Th e Cub should settle down and fly level.
You�ll know you�re flying level when
the altimeter hands stop moving. And, since you have not changed the trim, you
will be flying level at 60 mph.
5. Now reduce the power again to 1500 rpm. The Cub will descend. Th e airspeed in
the descent will be�what a surprise�60 mph.

Use stick to change airspeed

Changing the trim setting changes this airspeed. In the real airplane, you would
move the stick forward or backward
to change the airplane�s angle of attack. When you did this, you would feel
pressure on your hand from the
stick trying to return to the neutral position established by the trim. If you
wanted to keep the new angle of attack,
you would adjust the trim handle until all the pressure was off your hand. Th en
you could let go of the stick, and it
would stay put.

Using joystick buttons for trim up, 1 on the numeric pad, or the mouse, adjust the
trimmed nose up one click at a
time. Th e airspeed decreases from 60 mph to 55, then to 50, and then to 47ish.
Somewhere shy of 45 mph, you will be
at maximum nose-up trim. Th e Cub will be climbing slowly.

If you were to adjust the throttle at any point, the Cub would try to maintain 47
mph but climb more steeply (if
you opened the throttle) or descend (if you closed the throttle).

6. Bring the power back to 1900 rpm so that the Cub is fl ying level again.
