SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always perform a range check before each first flight of the day or after a particularly hard

landing, or after your radio control system has been repaired.

Check your airplane’s control surfaces before take off to ensure they are operating in the

correct direction.

Never fly your airplane from the street or at night.  Always fly your airplane in a safe

manner and preferably at a dedicated R/C model flying site.

When the transmitter voltage meter enters the red portion of the scale, replace the

transmitter batteries with a fresh set.  If you’re flying when this occurs, land immediately.

If the radio control system begins to glitch or act unusual, land immediately.

Before you fly, always check to make sure that your frequency is clear.  Never turn on the

transmitter if someone else on your frequency is flying at the time.  No two radio control
systems that are on the same frequency can operate nearby at the same time.  If this occurs,
both pilots will lose control of their models.  The frequency number is shown on the crystal
mount on the front of the transmitter.  Listed below are the channel numbers and frequencies.

The Cirrus DPR-5FM radio control system operates on 72Mhz.  The 72Mhz

frequency band is for AIRCRAFT USE ONLY.  Listed below are the channel
