NiMH/NiCd Battery
Charge the batteries!
(See Charging the NiCd batteries, for details.) Always recharge the
transmitter and receiver batteries before each flying session. A low battery will soon die
potentially, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset
your T10J’s built-in timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage.
Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your
radio’s low battery warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to
recharge. Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each flight.
Where to Fly
We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model
clubs and fields by asking your nearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy
of Model Aeronautics.
You can also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more
than 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Through any one of them, instructor training
programs and insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at the address or toll-
free phone number below.

Always pay particular attention to the flying field’s rules,
as well as the presence and
location of spectators, the wind direction, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful
flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communication facilities as there may be
radio interference in their vicinity.
