antenna. The antenna should be as far away from the ESC

MOTOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Failure to follow these safety precautions may result

in severe injury to yourself and others.

● Get help from an experienced pilot when learning to operate

electric motors.

● Use safety glasses when running electric motors.

● 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 you run the motor.

● 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.

● The motor gets hot! Do not touch it during or right after

operation.

● When working on your plane, remove the propeller if the

motor battery will be connected.

● Always remove the motor battery from the plane when

charging.

● Follow the charging instructions included with your charger

for charging LiPo batteries. LiPo batteries can cause serious

damage if misused.

Remember: Once the motor battery is plugged in, the motor

could start at any time. If you are working on the model,

remove the propeller.

AMA SAFETY CODE

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.

General

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 qualified flier, 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.

CHECK LIST

During the last few moments of preparation your mind may

be elsewhere anticipating the excitement of the ﬁ rst ﬂ ight.

Because of this, you may be more likely to overlook certain

checks and procedures that should be performed before the

model is ﬂ own. To help avoid this, a check list is provided to

make sure these important areas are not overlooked. Many

are covered in the instruction manual, so where appropriate,

refer to the manual for complete instructions. Be sure to

check the items off as they are completed (that's why it's

called a check list!).

❏

1. Check the C.G. according to the measurements provided

in the manual.

❏

2. Be certain the battery and receiver are securely mounted

in the fuse.

❏

3. If you are using a 72 MHz receiver, extend your receiver

antenna and make sure it has a strain relief inside the fuselage

to keep tension off the solder joint inside the receiver.

❏

4. Balance your model laterally as explained in the

instructions.
