E-flite S.E.5a Slow Flyer ARF Assembly Manual

2007 Official AMA National  

Model Aircraft Safety Code

GENERAL

1)  I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows 

or model flying demonstrations until it has been proven to be 

airworthy by having been previously, successfully flight tested.

2)  I will not fly my model higher than approximately 400 feet within 3 

miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. I will give 

right-of-way and avoid flying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. 

Where necessary, an observer shall be utilized to supervise flying 

to avoid having models fly in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.

3)  Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the flying 

site I use, and I will not willfully or deliberately fly my models in a 

careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.

4)  The maximum takeoff weight of a model is 55 pounds, except 

models flown under Experimental Aircraft rules.

5)  I will not fly my model unless it is identified with my name and 

address or AMA number on or in the model. (This does not apply 

to models while being flown indoors.)

6)  I will not operate models with metal-bladed propellers or with 

gaseous boosts, in which gases other than air enter their internal 

combustion engine(s); nor will I operate models with extremely 

hazardous fuels such as those containing tetranitromethane or 

hydrazine.

RADIO CONTROL

1)  I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground range 

check before the first flight of a new or repaired model.

2)  I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of spectators until I 

become a qualified flier, unless assisted by an experienced helper.

3)  At all flying sites a straight or curved line(s) must be established 

in front of which all flying takes place with the other side for 

spectators. Only personnel involved with flying the aircraft are 

allowed at or in front of the flight line. Intentional flying behind the 

flight line is prohibited.

4)  I will operate my model using only radio control frequencies 

currently allowed by the Federal Communications Commission. 

(Only properly licensed Amateurs are authorized to operate 

equipment on Amateur Band frequencies.)

5)  Flying sites separated by three miles or more are considered safe 

from site-to-site interference, even when both sites use the same 

frequencies. Any circumstances under three miles separation 

require a frequency management arrangement, which may be 

either an allocation of specific frequencies for each site or testing 

to determine that freedom from interference exists. Allocation plans 

or interference test reports shall be signed by the parties involved 

and provided to AMA Headquarters.

Documents of agreement and reports may exist between (1) two 

or more AMA Chartered Clubs, (2) AMA clubs and individual 

AMA members not associated with AMA Clubs, or (3) two or 

more individual AMA members.

6)  For Combat, distance between combat engagement line 

and spectator line will be 500 feet per cubic inch of engine 

displacement. (Example: .40 engine = 200 feet.); electric motors 

will be based on equivalent combustion engine size. Additional 

safety requirements will be per the RC Combat section of the 

current Competition Regulations.

7)  At air shows or model flying demonstrations, a single straight line 

must be established, one side of which is for flying, with the other 

side for spectators.

8)  With the exception of events flown under AMA Competition rules, 

after launch, except for pilots or helpers being used, no powered 

model may be flown closer than 25 feet to any person.

9)  Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a 

powered model in flight.
