thing you always must do is make sure no one else
is on your frequency (channel).
Most model flying
fields utilize frequency control so familiarize yourself
with their system. Collapse your transmitter antenna
and turn on the transmitter first, then the receiver
(preferably the receiver should never be on by itself).
You should be able to walk at least 100 feet away
from the model and still have control. Have an
assistant stand by your model and tell you what the
control surfaces are doing while you operate them
from the transmitter. Repeat this test with an assistant
holding the model and
the engine running at
various speeds. If the control surfaces do not always
respond correctly, don’t fly! Find and correct the
problem first. Look for loose servo connections or
corrosion, loose fasteners that may cause vibration,
a defective on/off switch, low battery voltage or a
defective cell, a damaged receiver antenna or a
receiver crystal that may have been damaged from
a previous crash.
NOTE : Failure to follow these safety precautions may
cause severe injury to yourself and others.
Store model fuel in a safe place away from high
heat, sparks or flames. Do not smoke near the
engine or fuel as it is very flammable. Engine
exhaust gives off a great deal of deadly carbon
monoxide so
do not run the engine in a closed
room or garage.
Get help from an experienced modeler when you
learn to operate engines.
Use safety glasses when you operate model engines.
Do not run the engine near loose gravel or sand; the
propeller may throw loose material in your face
or eyes.
When you start and run the engine keep your face
and body as well as all spectators away from the
plane of rotation of the propeller.
Keep loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarfs, long
hair or loose objects away from the prop. Be
conscious of pencils, screwdrivers or other objects
that may fall out of your shirt or jacket pockets.
Use a “chicken stick” or electric starter and follow
the instructions to start your engine.
Ask an assistant to hold the model from the rear
while you start the engine and operate the controls.
Make all engine adjustments from behind the
rotating propeller.
The engine gets hot! Do not touch the engine during
or immediately after you operate it. Make sure fuel
lines are in good condition so fuel will not leak onto
a hot engine and cause a fire.
To stop the engine, close the carburetor barrel (rotor)
or pinch the fuel line to discontinue the fuel flow. Do
not use your hands, fingers or any body part to stop
the engine. Never throw anything into the prop of a
running engine.
The best place to fly your R/C model is at an AMA
(Academy of Model Aeronautics) chartered club
field. Ask your hobby dealer or the AMA if there is
a club in your area and join it (the address and
telephone number for the AMA is listed on page 3
of this instruction book). Club fields exist to make
your R/C flying safe and enjoyable. We recommend
that you join the AMA and a local club so you may
have a safe place to fly and insurance in case of a
flying accident.
If a club flying site is not available, find a large, grassy
area at least 6 miles away from houses, buildings,
streets and other R/C activity like boats and cars.
Avoid flying R/C models near traffic or areas such as
