General
1) I will not fl y my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air
shows, or model fl
ying demonstrations until it has
been proven to be airworthy by having been previously,
successfully fl ight tested.
2) I will not fl y my model aircraft higher than approximately
400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the
airport operator. I will give right-of-way and avoid fl ying
in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary,
an observer shall be utilized to supervise fl ying to avoid
having models fl y in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.
3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the
fl ying site I use, and I will not willfully and deliberately
fl y my models in a careless, reckless and/or dangerous
manner.
5) I will not fl y my model unless it is identifi ed with my name
and address or AMA number, on or in the model. Note:
This does not apply to models while being fl own indoors.
7) I will not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device
that explodes, burns, or propels a projectile of any kind).
Radio Control
1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground
check before the fi rst fl ight of a new or repaired model.
2) I will not fl y my model aircraft in the presence of spectators
until I become a qualifi ed fl ier, unless assisted by an
experienced helper.
3) At all fl ying sites a straight or curved line(s) must be
established in front of which all fl ying takes place with the
other side for spectators. Only personnel involved with
fl ying the aircraft are allowed at or in the front of the fl ight
line. Intentional fl ying behind the fl ight line is prohibited.
4) I will operate my model using only radio control frequencies
currently allowed by the Federal Communications
Commission.
5) I will not knowingly operate my model within three
miles of any pre-existing fl
ying site except in
accordance with the frequency sharing agreement
listed [in the complete AMA Safety Code].
9) Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch
a powered model in fl ight; nor should any part of the
model other than the landing gear, intentionally touch
the ground, except while landing.
CHECK LIST
During the last few moments of preparation your mind
may be elsewhere anticipating the excitement of the fi rst
fl ight. Because of this, you may be more likely to overlook
certain checks and procedures that should be performed
before the model is fl own. To help avoid this, a check list
is provided to make sure these important areas are not
overlooked. Many are covered previously in the instruction
manual, so where appropriate, refer to the manual for
complete instructions. Be sure to check the items off as
they are completed (that’s why it’s called a check list!).
❏
1. Check the C.G. according to the
measurements provided in the manual.
❏
2. Be certain the battery and receiver are
securely mounted in the fuse with hook and
loop material.
❏
3. Confi rm that all controls operate in the correct
direction and the throws are set up according
to the manual.
❏
4. Make sure all servo arms are secured to the
servos with the screws included with your radio.
❏
5. Make sure all wires are clear of servo arms
and pushrods.
❏
6. Make sure all hinge tape is securely attached.
❏
7. Balance your propeller (and spare propellers).
❏
8. If you wish to photograph your model, do so
before your fi rst fl ight.
❏
9. Range check your radio when you get to the
fl ying fi eld.
FLYING
The Extra 330SC Indoor is an airplane suitable for both indoor
and outdoor fl ying. If you plan on fl ying outdoors, make sure
that you choose days with very light to calm winds (less than
5 mph). If this is your fi rst experience with an indoor-style
foamie, seek help from experienced modelers. Join a local
fl ying club or ask your local hobby dealer where the nearest
approved fl ying sites are in your area.
