GREAT PLANES Seawind EP Manual de instrucciones

Range Check

When you get to your ﬂ ying site ground check the

operational range of the radio before the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight of the

day. With the transmitter antenna collapsed and the receiver

and transmitter on, you should be able to walk at least

100 feet away from the model and still have control. Have

an assistant stand by your model and, while you work the

controls, tell you what the control surfaces are doing. Repeat

this test with the motor running at various speeds with an

assistant holding the model, using hand signals to show you

what is happening. If the control surfaces do not respond

correctly, do not ﬂ y! Find and correct the problem ﬁ rst. Look

for loose servo or battery connections, damaged wires or a

damaged receiver crystal from a previous crash in another

model. One other possible source of radio "noise" that could

cause interference is the arrangement and relative location

of the receiver, receiver antenna and motor wires. If possible,

remount the receiver in a different location or reroute some

of the wires. Then try the range check again.

ELECTRIC MOTOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Failure to follow these safety precautions may result

in severe injury to yourself and others.

Use safety glasses when running the motor.

Do not run the motor in an area of loose gravel or sand; the

propeller may throw such material in your face or eyes.

Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from

the plane of rotation of the propeller as it is turning.

Keep these items away from the prop: loose clothing, shirt

sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as

pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of shirt or jacket

pockets into the prop.

Always remove the LiPo battery from the plane before charging.

Always use a charger designed to charge LiPo batteries for

charging the LiPo ﬂ ight battery.

Never leave the LiPo battery unattended while charging. If

the battery becomes hot, discontinue charging.

AMA SAFETY CODE (excerpts)

Read and abide by the following excerpts from the Academy

of Model Aeronautics Safety Code. For the complete Safety

Code refer to Model Aviation magazine, the AMA web site or

the Code that came with your AMA license.

1) I will not ﬂ y my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows,

or model ﬂ ying demonstrations until it has been proven to be

airworthy by having been previously, successfully ﬂ ight tested.

2) I will not ﬂ y my model aircraft higher than approximately

400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the

airport operator. I will give right-of-way and avoid ﬂ ying in the

proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary, an observer

shall be utilized to supervise ﬂ ying to avoid having models ﬂ y

in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.

3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the

ﬂ ying site I use, and I will not willfully and deliberately ﬂ y my

models in a careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.

5) I will not ﬂ y my model unless it is identiﬁ ed with my name

and address or AMA number, on or in the model. Note: This

does not apply to models while being ﬂ own indoors.

7) I will not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device

that explodes, burns, or propels a projectile of any kind).

Radio Control

1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground

check before the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight of a new or repaired model.

2) I will not ﬂ y my model aircraft in the presence of spectators

until I become a qualiﬁ ed ﬂ ier, unless assisted by an

experienced helper.

3) At all ﬂ ying sites a straight or curved line(s) must be

established in front of which all ﬂ ying takes place with the

other side for spectators. Only personnel involved with ﬂ ying

the aircraft are allowed at or in the front of the ﬂ ight line.

Intentional ﬂ ying behind the ﬂ ight line is prohibited.

4) I will operate my model using only radio control frequencies

currently allowed by the Federal Communications Commission.

5) I will not knowingly operate my model within three

miles of any pre-existing ﬂ ying site except in accordance

with the frequency sharing agreement listed (in the

complete AMA Safety Code).

9) Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person

touch a powered model in ﬂ ight; nor should any part of the

model other than the landing gear, intentionally touch

the ground, except while landing.
