Step 2.
Make sure the voltage of the transmitter and receiver batteries are
acceptable levels before flying. Follow the recommendations in the radio manual
for minimum charge requirements. Charge all batteries before each flight.
Step. 3
Check trims and sub trims are set to neutral and controls centered. Check
rate and flight mode switches set properly.
If you are using MHz radio check the receiver antenna is fully extended and not
reversed on it self. Always double check to make sure your transmitter antenna is
fully extended.
Step. 4
If you are using any MHz radio you need to make sure that your
frequency is free before turning on your radio. Follow your club's pre-flight
instructions for obtaining the frequency pin.
Step 5.
With your radio system on, make sure the control surfaces are moving
correctly with each stick movement of the transmitter. Ensure all flight controls are
free from binding and are centered. Check that all hinges are tight and will not pull
out. Control linkages must be rigid and tight and have no slop.
Step 6.
The engine vibrations during flight sometimes cause bolts to vibrate
loose. Make sure the bolts holding the wing to the fuselage are in place and are
tight. Make sure all engine mounting bolts and servo screws are tight. Also make
sure the propeller nut is tight. Check all control horn bolts, wheel collars are tight
and secure. Use Thread Locker where necessary.
Step 7.
A range check is a very important pre-flight check that should be done
before the first flight of each day at the flying field. Do a range check in
accordance with the radio manufacturer instructions. If there is insufficient range
or interference do not fly until it is resolved.
Step 8.
Hold onto the airplane and move the throttle stick forward. Verify that the
motor turns the right direction and goes to full throttle. Move the throttle stick back
to low, verify that the motor stops turning. Do not fly an unreliable engine.
Step 9. Go fly and have some fun
