" (63.5mm) behind the  

leading edge of the upper wing against the fuselage.

Range Testing the Radio

 1. Be sure to range check your radio before each 

flying session. This is accomplished by turning 
on your transmitter with the antenna collapsed. 
Turn on the receiver in your airplane. With 
your airplane on the ground and the motor 
running, you should be able to walk 30 paces 
(approximately 100 feet) away from your 
airplane and still have complete control of all 
functions. If not, don’t attempt to fly! Have your 
radio equipment checked out by the manufacturer.

 2. Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, 

rudder and throttle) move in the correct direction.

 3. Be sure that your transmitter batteries are  

fully charged, per the instructions included  
with your radio.
