Model Flying Precautions

Pre-flight Checks

1.

Always range check your model before any flight (especially when flying a new model for the first

time). Follow your radio manufacturers guidelines for performing  this check.

2.

Check all screw

s, 

bolts and mounting points are firmly secured, including control horns

and

 

clevises.

3.

Only fly with fully charged batteries (both in your radio and model). Failure to do so could result

in loss of control, damage to the model and/or persons/property around you. Check your

batteries are fully charged.

4.

With the model powered up (

t

ransmitter on first, then receiver/model) check that all surfaces are

free from damage/obstructions, moving 

freely and 

in the correct directions with 

the 

stick input.

5.

Inspect the model and prop for any damage that may have occurred during transit and listen for

any unusual sounds from the electronics when powered up. If in doubt, do not fly.

6.

With the model held securely and the prop free of obstructions, increase the throttle just slightly

to confirm the rotation of the prop is correct. The model should want to pull straight forward with

throttle.

7.

If this is your first flight with the model double check the C/G is at the correct  position. If not adjust

battery position inside model accordingly.

8.

If you are an inexperienced model pilot seek the help and assistance of an experienced pilot to

perform these final checks and to test flying the model for you.

Select your flight area carefully. Always choose an open space that is unobstructed from trees

 

and buildings and away from crowed areas. Avoid flying in areas with roads, electric/telephone

 

poles/wires and water near by or within close proximity to full size air traffic.

Do not fly this model in poor weather. High winds, low visibility, inclement temperatures, rain and

storms are to be avoided.

Never attempt to catch this model whilst in flight. Even a slow moving model can cause harm to

 

yourself and

 

other

s

 and risks damage to the model.

This model is recommended for children no younger than 14 year old. All children, no matter

what

 

age, should always be supervised by a capable and responsible adult when operating this

model.

Always unplug your model battery when not in use. Never leave the battery installed in the

model.

Remember to keep clear of the propeller at all times when your flight battery is connected.

Before flying, always turn on your transmitter first then plug your flight battery into the model.

After flying, always unplug your flight battery first then turn off your radio transmitter.

Exercise caution when charging your batteries and follow in full your battery manufacturers

safety guideline when doing so.
