Daily Flight Checks

  1. Check the battery voltage of the transmitter 

battery. Do not fly below the manufacturer’s 

recommended voltage. To do so can crash  

your aircraft.

When you check these batteries, ensure you have the 

polarities correct on your expanded scale voltmeter.

  2. Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts, and 

bolts) prior to each day’s flight. Be sure that binding 

does not occur and that all parts are properly 

secured.

  3. Ensure all surfaces are moving in the  

proper manner.

  4. Perform a ground range check before each day’s 

flying session.

  5. Prior to starting your aircraft, turn off your 

transmitter, then turn it back on. Do this each time 

you start your aircraft. If any critical switches are on 

without your knowledge, the transmitter alarm will 

sound a warning at this time.

  6. Check that all trim levers are in the  

proper location.

  7. All servo pigtails and switch harness plugs should 

be secured in the receiver. Make sure the switch 

harness moves freely in both directions.
