5. Carefully check for proper control of the throttle. For electric powered models,
when the throttle stick is at maximum the ESC should give the proper indications to
identify full forward motion is active. When throttle is at minimum, the ESC should
give the proper indications to identify power is off or zero throttle. For models with a
combustion engine, confi rm when the throttle stick is at maximum all connections
on the engine allow it to reach maximum throttle. Conversely, confi rm the engine
stops entirely when the transmitter throttle stick is at minimum position.
6. Make sure the radio system passes a “range check” to confi rm the safe operating
distance from the Tx to the Rx. With the aircraft on the ground, make sure full
control of all surfaces exists at a distance of at least 100 feet (30 meters) away
from the model. Point the transmitter directly at the model and confi rm constant
control exists.
7. When removing power from the airplane / radio gear, always turn off power
inside the model FIRST! Turn the transmitter power switch OFF second. Failure
to follow this order could result in bodily injury and damage to the surroundings
as the model could suddenly veer out of control. Move the throttle stick and trim
positions to minimum to entirely stop movement of the propeller. Only after the
prop has stopped moving completely, turn the receivers power switch (switch
harness or ESC switch) to the OFF position. For electric models, then disconnect
the battery from the ESC. Lastly, turn the transmitter power switch OFF.
FLYING A MODEL
1. Only after all setup and pre-fl ight checks are complete, with power removed from
the model and transmitter, attach the propeller back onto the model.
WARNING! Always be mindful to stay clear of propellers after
power has been applied to the model!
2. If the model uses a combustion engine, make sure an ample amount of fuel is
in the tank. For electric powered models, make sure the battery is fully charged.
3. Carefully follow all instructions explained previously for applying power to the
transmitter and receiver.
4. Trim the aileron, elevator, and rudder channels as necessary during fl ight so
the model can maintain a steady forward fl ight without veering in an unwanted
direction.
5. After the model is safely landed and the throttle stick and trim are moved to
minimum (idle), remove power from the model fi rst, then lastly to the transmitter.
