PREFLIGHT

Identify Your Model

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

you ﬂ y 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 ﬂ ying sites

and AMA sanctioned ﬂ ying events. Fill out the identiﬁ cation

tag on page 4 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 ﬂ ying, 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 ﬂ ying

with batteries that are only partially charged.

Range Check

Ground check the operational range of your 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 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.

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.
