Range Test Your Radio
1. Before each flying session range check your radio. This
is accomplished by turning on your transmitter with the
antenna collapsed. Turn on the radio in your airplane.
With your airplane on the ground, you should be able
to walk 30 paces 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, throttle,
rudder) move in the correct direction.
3. Be sure that your batteries are fully charged per the
instructions included with your radio.
Adjusting the Engine
1. Completely read the instructions included with your
engine and follow the recommended break-in
procedure. At the field, adjust the engine to a slightly
rich setting at full throttle and adjust the idle and low
speed needle so that a consistent idle is achieved.
Before you fly, be sure that your engine reliably idles,
transitions and runs at all throttle settings. Only when
this is achieved should any plane be considered ready
for flight.
