TRANSMITTER AERIAL POSITIONING
The transmitter aerial can be angled to optimise the transmitted signal. During operation keep the aerial pointing
upwards at all times. Do not fly with the aerial pointing downwards. Avoid pointing the aerial directly at your
model.
Keep the aerial pointing up–but not
directly at the model
RANGE AND POWER CHECK
▼
It is important to check the transmitter will operate the model satisfactorily at a safe range.
▼
In order to do this place your model on the ground and walk away from the model whilst operating the
swashplate/aileron controls. Have an assistant stand by the model and signal what the controls are doing
to confirm they operate correctly.
Check that the servos in the model operate without interference up to a distance of at least 100 metres.
▼
Ensure that fresh/charged batteries are being used for transmitter and receiver. Check that the transmitter
LED screen is displaying a voltage greater than 4.4V.

Do not fly at 100 metres distance or greater. At distances of greater than 50 metres, it will become difficult to see
your model and at 100 metres it will be very difficult to see accurately and therefore to control safely.
We strongly recommend you fly no further away than 50 metres.

Planet 5 has been tested with many types of models and operated at ranges significantly greater than that
recommended. However, 2.4GHz equipemnt is affected by terrain, weather and obstacles to a significantly
greater degree than is conventional lower frequency R/C equipment. Therefore, do not be tempted to exceed
these specifications
