l
Completely charge the transmitter and receiver batteries before your first day of flying.
l
Check every bolt and every glue joint in the aircraft to ensure that everything is tight and well-bonded. This should include all of the
control surface hinges as well.
l
Double-check that you've installed and tightened all of the servo horn retaining screws.
l
Double-check that the receiver, ESC and flight battery are properly secured into place. There's nothing worse than the flight battery
coming loose during flight.
l
Double-check the balance of the aircraft.
Do this with the flight battery installed
.
l
Check the control surfaces. They should all move in the correct direction and not bind.
l
Make sure that you've installed silicone fuel tubing over the clevises to prevent any chance of them opening during flight.
l
If your radio transmitter is equipped with dual rate switches, double-check that they are on the low-rate setting for your first few flights.
l
Check to ensure that all of the control surfaces are moving the proper amount in both low and high rate settings.
l
Check the receiver antenna wire. It should be fully extended and not coiled up inside the radio compartment.
l
Do not cut the receiver antenna wire shorter or the range of your radio control system will be greatly reduced.
l
Properly balance the propeller. A propeller that is out of balance will cause excessive vibration, which could lead to motor and/or
airframe failure, and it will reduce motor efficiency and power.
l
Double-check that the propeller spinner nut is tightened securely.

The following are our general guidelines for your safety and the safety of others. Please read and understand these safety
guidelines before going out to the flying field for the first time.
l
Do not test-fly your aircraft for the first time without first having it safety-checked by an experienced modeler.
l
Do not fly your aircraft higher than approximately 400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without having an observer with you. The
observer should tell you about any full-size aircraft in your vicinity and you should always give the right-of-way to full-scale aircraft.
l
When flying at a flying field with established rules, you should abide by those rules. You should not deliberately fly your aircraft in a
reckless and/or dangerous manner.
l
While flying, you should not deliberately fly behind the flight line. If your aircraft should inadvertently fly behind the flight line, you
should change course immediately.
l
You should complete a successful range check of your radio equipment prior to each new day of flying, or prior to the first flight of a
new or repaired aircraft.
l
You should perform your initial turn after take- off away from the flightline and/or spectator area.
l
You should not knowingly operate your R/C radio system within 3 miles of a preexisting model club flying field without a frequency
sharing agreement with that club.
