Next I made a climbing turn back toward the field and with the Cub flying straight and level I fed in full DOWN elevator. After the nose dropped I seemed to lose control of the airplane: the motor cut off. After my initial panic I realized that the ACT had taken command of the airplane. The nose brought itself back up to the horizon, and as soon as the airplane was back into a normal attitude the motor came back to life and all was well again. The ACT program seems to do what you SHOULD do with this airplane if it begins to get away from you: bring the throttle to about one third power and release the stick.
The Positive stability that is built into this cub is what makes it a great first airplane: it literally flies itself. I took the airplane back up to ‘Training Altitude’ and tried to put it into every unusual attitude I could think of. Each time I did simply bringing the throttle back and letting go of the stick resulted in the Cub returning to straight and level flight.
