SECTION 21: PREFLIGHT CHECK AND SAFETY
●
Completely charge the transmitter and receiver batteries before your first day of flying.
●
Check every bolt and every glue joint in the airplane to ensure that everything is tight and well-bonded. This should
include all of the control surface hinges as well.
●
Double-check that you've installed and tightened all of the servo horn retaining screws.
●
Double-check that the receiver and battery pack are properly secured into the fuselage. There's nothing worse than the
battery pack coming loose during flight.
●
Double-check that the fuel tank is properly secured into the fuselage.
●
Double-check the balance of the airplane.
Do this with the fuel tank EMPTY.
●
Check the control surfaces. They should all move in the correct direction and not bind.
●
Make sure that you've installed 1/4" long pieces of clear vinyl tubing over the clevises to prevent any chance of them opening
during flight.
●
If your radio transmitter is equipped with dual rate switches, double-check that they are on the low-rate setting for your first
few flights.
●
Check to ensure that all of the control surfaces are moving the proper amount in both low and high rate settings.
●
Check the receiver antenna. It should be fully extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage. Do not cut the receiver antenna
shorter or the range of your radio control system will be greatly reduced.
●
Properly balance the propeller. A propeller that is out of balance will cause excessive vibration, which could lead to engine
and/or airframe failure, and it will reduce engine efficiency and power.
●
You should complete a successful range check of your radio equipment prior to each new day of flying, or prior to the first flight
of a new or repaired model.
●
You should perform your initial turn after take- off away from the flightline and/or spectator area.
●
When flying at a flying field with established rules, you should abide by those rules. You should not deliberately fly your model
in a reckless and/or dangerous manner.
●
You should not knowingly operate your R/C radio system within 3 miles of a preexisting model club flying field without a
frequency sharing agreement with that club.
