FLYING OUTDOORS
HOW TO PREVENT FLY AWAYS
To prevent “fly-away” situations (where planes seem to fly away out of control) it
is important to first test and practice within close range before letting the plane
fly too far away.
Each plane is designed to land if the radio signal is lost. (But, this should not
be considered a landing procedure or normal flight practice.) It is important
to know and test the range of your plane before flying. We recommend turning
on and syncing the plane and walking away while testing the engines. Keep
walking and testing until it is obvious when you reach the point where the signal
is not controlling the plane. This will be the control limit for the conditions in
which you are flying. Distance does vary somewhat based on environmental
and weather conditions, so testing the limit is advised. Fly in a range that is
good for easy visual operation of the plane.
IF YOU CAN’T SEE YOUR PLANE, THEN YOU CAN’T CONTROL
YOUR PLANE.
* Fly-aways are not covered by warranty as they are overwhelmingly caused
by pilot error.
