Range Check
At the field, ensure that your radio channel is not occupied and that it is safe to turn on your radio. Apply
power to your radio transmitter, then to your model’s receiver. Verify that all controls are working as
intended and the control surfaces move freely. With your antenna recessed, you should be able to walk up
to 50 feet (15 meters) away and still maintain glitch-free control. If not, stop and solve the problem. Do
not try to fly your model unless it is working glitch-free. Extend your transmitter.
