Although the J-3 Cub is a taildragger, landing is
straightforward with no tricky tendencies. Just cut the
power to a reliable, low idle and the big Cub will naturally
bleed off airspeed. Maintain a "nose down" attitude during
descent, then level off before touchdown. For your first
landings, plan to land slightly faster than stall speed and on

the main wheels, as this is the easiest way to land your

Cub. Upon the final approach, if you find that you must add
power, do so gradually. With a little practice, slow, 3-point
landings will be a breeze and you'll be winning the spot

landing contest at your local fun-flys.

Have a ball! But always stay in control and f l y in a

safe manner.

GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!
