Check Your Radio

Before going to the field, be sure that your batteries are 

fully charged, per the instructions included with your radio. 

Charge both the transmitter and receiver pack for your 

airplane. Use the recommended charger supplied with your 

particular radio system, following the instructions provided 

with the radio. In most cases the radio should be charged the 

night before going out flying.

Before each flying session, be sure to range check your 

radio. See your radio manual for the recommended 

range and instructions for your radio system. Each radio 

manufacturer specifies different procedures for their radio 

systems. Next, start the motor. With the model securely 

anchored, check the range again. The range test should not 

be significantly affected. If it is, don’t attempt to fly! Have 

your radio equipment checked out by the manufacturer.

Note

: Keep loose items that can get entangled 

in the propeller away from the prop. These 

include loose clothing, or other objects such as 

pencils and screwdrivers. Especially keep your 

hands away from the propeller.

Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, rudder and 

throttle) move in the correct direction.

Check the radio installation and make sure all the control 

surfaces are moving correctly (i.e. the correct direction 

and with the recommended throws). Test run the motor and 

make sure it transitions smoothly from off to full throttle and 

back. Also ensure the engine is installed according to the 

manufacturer’s instructions, and it will operate consistently.

Check all the control horns, servo horns, and clevises to  

make sure they are secure and in good condition.  

Replace any items that would be considered questionable. 

Failure of any of these components in flight would mean the 

loss of your aircraft.
