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. 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 (excerpt)

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 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 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.

3. At all flying sites, a straight or curved line(s) must be

established in front of which all flying takes place, with the

other side for spectators. Only personnel involved with flying

the aircraft are allowed at or in the front of the flight line.

Intentional flying behind the flight 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 flying site except in

accordance with the frequency sharing agreement

listed [in the complete AMA Safety Code].

CHECK LIST

During the last few moments of preparation your mind

may be elsewhere, anticipating the excitement of the first

flight. Because of this, you may be more likely to overlook

certain checks and procedures that should be performed

before the model is flown. 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! )

Check the C.G. according to the measurements

provided in the manual.

Be certain the battery and receiver are securely

mounted in the fuse. Simply stuffing them into place

with foam rubber is not sufficient.

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.

Confirm that all controls operate in the correct direction

and the throws are set up according to the manual.

Place your name, address, AMA number and

telephone number on or inside your model.

Cycle your receiver battery pack (if necessary) and

make sure it is fully charged.

If you wish to photograph your model, do so before

your first flight.

Range check your radio when you get to the flying field.
