2. With all parts of the model installed (ready to fly), place

the model upside-down on a Great Planes CG Machine, or

lift it upside-down at the balance point you marked .

❏

3. If the tail drops, the model is "tail heavy" and the battery

pack must be shifted forward to balance. If the nose drops, the

model is "nose heavy" and the battery pack must be shifted

back to balance. This model is very weight sensitive. Do not

add any weight to achieve the suggested balance point.

Instead, shift the battery pack forward or aft to alter the C.G.

PREFLIGHT

Identify Your Model

No matter if you fly at an AMA sanctioned R/C club site or if you

fly somewhere on your own, you should always have your name,

address, telephone number and AMA number on or inside your

model. It is required at all AMA R/C club flying sites and AMA

sanctioned flying events. Fill out the identification tag on page 14

and place it on or inside your model.

Charge the Batteries

Follow the battery charging instructions that came with your

radio control system to charge the batteries. You should

always charge your transmitter and motor batteries the night

before you go flying, and at other times as recommended by

the manufacturer.

CAUTION: Unless the instructions that came with your

radio system state differently, the initial charge on new

transmitter batteries should be done for 15 hours using

the slow-charger that came with the radio system. This

will "condition" the batteries so that the next charge may

be done using the fast-charger of your choice. If the initial

charge is done with a fast-charger, the batteries may not

reach their full capacity and you may be flying with

batteries that are only partially charged.

Range Check

Ground check the operational range of your radio before the first

flight 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 fly! Find

and correct the problem first. Look for loose servo connections

or broken wires, corroded wires on old servo connectors, poor

solder joints in your battery pack or a defective cell, or a

damaged receiver crystal from a previous crash.

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 fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air

shows, or model flying demonstrations until it has been

proven to be airworthy by having been previously,

successfully flight tested.

2) I will not fly 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 flying in the

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

shall be utilized to supervise flying to avoid having models

fly in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.

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

flying site I use, and I will not willfully and deliberately fly my

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

5) I will not fly my model unless it is identified with my name

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

does not apply to models while being flown 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 first flight of a new or repaired model.

2) I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of

spectators until I become a qualified flier, unless assisted by

an experienced helper.
