1.  Align the two screws and holes in the tow 

plate with the holes in the mount on top of 
the fuselage. The hole for the tow line in the  
bracket should be toward the back of the 
aircraft (see illustration). 

2.   Fully tighten the screws on the fuselage. Make 

sure that you do not over tighten the screws.

3.   Tie the tow line to the tow plate using a non-

slip knot after installing the tow plate. 

Towing with the Carbon Cub is only recommended 
for advanced pilots. When towing a sailplane with 
the Carbon Cub, be sure to fl y in a large, open 
space. 

The Carbon Cub is designed to tow the E-fl ite

®

 

UMX

™ 

ASK-21 (EFLU1280) sailplane from a smooth 

runway. A tow line (approximately 28 feet (8.5 m)
long) is included with the UMX

™

 ASK-21 or is 

available separately (EFLU1257).

1.  Position both aircraft near each other on your 

runway, facing into the wind.

2.  Tie the tow line to the tow plate on the Carbon 

Cub. Tie the other end of the tow line to the 
release mechanism under the nose of the 
E-fl ite UMX ASK-21 (see tow mechanism 
installation in the UMX ASK-21 manual). 

3.  Space the aircraft apart so there is no slack in 

the tow line. (If there is slack, it can result in 
damage to one or both of the aircraft.) 

4.  Ensure that the tow line is above the Carbon 

Cub’s horizontal tail so the Carbon Cub can 
pull the sailplane into the air safely.

5.   Quickly apply power to the Carbon Cub once 

both pilots are ready for takeoff. 

6.   Keep the Carbon Cub on the ground until the 

sailplane is off the ground and is 2–3 ft (0.9–
1.2 m) above the Carbon Cub. 

7.   Slowly apply elevator to lift the Carbon Cub off 

of the ground. Be sure to keep the Carbon Cub 
under the sailplane until you have reached your 
release altitude.
