Default RE: Super Cub

I plan to go fly the Super Cub today.

This is what I plan to do:

1. Apply full throttle and hand launch or take off from paved surface while gradually increasing throttle.
2. Pull back gently to give UP elevator once plane leaves the ground and continue flying in a straight line until I reach twice the height of my trees here.
3. Trim the plane as needed.
4. Make very gentle first turn.
5. Hopefully fly.
6. Gently reduce throttle and gradually land, as plane touches down give slight UP elevator to flare for landing.

If anyone has anything to add, please do.

Also, I want to paint this Cub yellow, any ideas?
