STEP 12.3 - CONFIRM FUNCTIONAL

INTEGRITY.

Once you have confirmed that the CG is correct and that
all throws have been set up properly, you should do a
thorough review of the entire model BEFORE YOUR
FIRST FLIGHT.  

Check everything twice! Every hook

up, every coupling, everything! Do the “TUG TEST”!
Tug on all control surfaces, hinges, clevises and rods!
Do it twice! DO IT BEFORE YOUR FIRST FLIGHT!

BEFORE YOUR FIRST FLIGHT have an experienced
remote control model aircraft flyer review your work. Don’t
fly this model until it has been checked out by an experi-
enced second party who knows how to fly a remote control
model aircraft and how to set up and handle a model of
this size.

Once you have completed your first flight, get in the habit
of checking all components of your model over 

BEFORE

AND AFTER EACH FLIGHT! Do the “TUG TEST”! Tug
on all control surfaces, hinges, clevises and rods!

Don’t fly without checking and don’t fly if you find some-
thing that is not right!
