AMA SAFETY CODE (EXCERPT)
Read and abide by the following Academy of Model
Aeronautics Official Safety Code:
General
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 to and avoid flying in
the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary an
observer shall be used to supervise flying to avoid having
models fly in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.
3. Where established, I will abide by the safely 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.
4. I will not fly my model unless it is identified with my name
and address or AMA number, on or in the model.
5. I will not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device
that explodes, burns, or propels a projectile or 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 airplane.
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.
3. I will perform my initial turn after takeoff away from the pit
or spectator areas and I will not thereafter fly over pit or
spectator areas, unless beyond my control.
4. I will operate my model using only radio control frequencies
currently allowed by the Federal Communications Commission.
FLYING
The Slow Poke Sport .40 ARF is a fun and enjoyable plane
to fly. It is very predictable when balanced at the
recommended C.G. and the control throws are set at the low
rate recommendation. Set up this way you will find that it
performs most mild aerobatic maneuvers with ease. Move
the C.G. back and step up to the high rate control throws and
you will have a very responsive fun flying model!
The Slow Poke Sport .40 ARF has no bad ground handling
characteristics. Simply line up on the runway, advance the
throttle slowly, make steering corrections as needed with the
rudder and you will be airborne in about 50 feet.
Once airborne you will find that the Slow Poke Sport .40
ARF performs slow flight maneuvers as easily as it performs
at faster speeds. Tight loops, large loops, slow rolls, fast
rolls, inverted flight are all easily done with the Slow Poke
Sport .40 ARF. You will find slow flight especially fun as the
large wing really allows it to slow nicely!
CAUTION (THIS APPLIES TO ALL R/C AIRPLANES):
If, while flying, you notice any unusual sounds, such as a
low-pitched "buzz," this may be an indication of control
surface "flutter." Because flutter can quickly destroy
components of your airplane, any time you detect flutter
you must immediately cut the throttle and land the
airplane! Check all servo grommets for deterioration (this
will indicate which surface fluttered) and make sure all
pushrod linkages are slop-free. If it fluttered once, it will
probably flutter again under similar circumstances unless
you can eliminate the slop or flexing in the linkages. Here
are some things which can result in flutter: Excessive
hinge gap; Not mounting control horns solidly; Sloppy fit of
clevis pin in horn; Elasticity present in flexible plastic
pushrods; Side-play of pushrod in guide tube caused by
tight bends; Sloppy fit of Z-bend in servo arm; Insufficient
glue used when gluing in the elevator joiner wire or aileron
torque rod; Excessive "play" or "backlash" in servo gears;
and Insecure servo mounting.
When it comes time to land the Slow Poke Sport .40 ARF,
you will find it is as predictable to land as it was to fly. Simply
line it up on the runway and slowly decrease the speed.
When you are over the runway, drop the throttle and flare to
a three point landing!
Have a ball! But always stay in control and fly in a safe manner.
