27 E-flite Sukhoi SU-26m 480 ARF Assembly Manual
8. I will not operate model aircraft carrying
pyrotechnic devices which explode burn, or propel
a projectile of any kind. Exceptions include Free
Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smoke
and are securely attached to the model aircraft
during flight. Rocket motors up to a G-series size
may be used, provided they remain firmly attached
to the model aircraft during flight. Model rockets
may be flown in accordance with the National
Model Rocketry Safety Code; however, they may
not be launched from model aircraft. Officially
designated AMA Air Show Teams (AST) are
authorized to use devices and practices as defined
within the Air Show Advisory Committee Document.
9. I will not operate my model aircraft while under
the influence of alcohol or within eight (8) hours of
having consumed alcohol.
10. I will not operate my model aircraft while using
any drug which could adversely affect my ability to
safely control my model aircraft.
11. Children under six (6) years old are only allowed
on a flightline or in a flight area as a pilot or while
under flight instruction.
12. When and where required by rule, helmets must
be properly worn and fastened. They must be
OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE approved
or comply with comparable standards.
RAdIO CONTROL
1. All model flying shall be conducted in a manner to
avoid over flight of unprotected people.
2. I will have completed a successful radio equipment
ground-range check before the first flight of a new
or repaired model aircraft.
3. I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of
spectators until I become a proficient flier, unless I
am assisted by an experienced pilot.
4. At all flying sites a line must be established, in front
of which all flying takes place. Only personnel
associated with flying the model aircraft are allowed
at or in front of the line. In the case of airshows
demonstrations straight line must be established.
An area away from the line must be maintained
for spectators. Intentional flying behind the line is
prohibited.
5. I will operate my model aircraft using only radio-
control frequencies currently allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Only
individuals properly licensed by the FCC are
authorized to operate equipment on Amateur Band
frequencies.
6. I will not knowingly operate my model aircraft
within three (3) miles of any preexisting flying site
without a frequency-management agreement. A
frequency management agreement may be an
allocation of frequencies for each site, a day-
use agreement between sites, or testing which
determines that no interference exists. A frequency-
management agreement may exist between two
or more AMA chartered clubs, AMA clubs and
individual AMA members, or individual AMA
members. Frequency-management agreements,
including an interference test report if the agreement
indicates no interference exists, will be signed by all
parties and copies provided to AMA Headquarters.
7. With the exception of events flown under official
AMA rules, no powered model may be flown
outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual,
except for the pilot and located at the flightline.
8. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person
touch a model aircraft in flight while it is still under
power, except to divert it from striking an individual.
9. Radio-controlled night flying is limited to low-
performance model aircraft (less than 100 mph).
The model aircraft must be equipped with a lighting
system which clearly defines the aircraft’s attitude
and direction at all times.
10. The operator of a radio-controlled model aircraft
shall control it during the entire flight, maintaining
visual contact without enhancement other than by
corrective lenses that are prescribed for the pilot.
No model aircraft shall be equipped with devices
which allow it to be flown to a selected location
which is beyond the visual range of the pilot.
Sukhoi SU-26m Safe Operating Recommendations
- Inspect your model before every flight to make
certain it is airworthy.
- Be aware of any other radio frequency user who may
present an interference problem.
- Always be courteous and respectful of other users of
your selected flight area.
- Choose an area clear of obstacles and large enough
to safely accommodate your flying activity.
- Make certain this area is clear of friends and
spectators prior to launching your aircraft.
- Be aware of other activities in the vicinity of your
flight path that could cause potential conflict.
- Carefully plan your flight path prior to launch.
- Abide by any and all established AMA National
Model Aircraft Safety Code.
