Range Test Your Radio

1. Before each flying session, be sure to range

check your radio. This is accomplished by turning
on your transmitter with the antenna collapsed. Turn
on the receiver in your airplane. With your airplane
on the ground and the engine running, you should
be able to walk 30 paces (approximately 100 feet)
away from your airplane and still have complete
control of all functions.

If not, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment

checked out by the manufacturer.

2. Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator,

rudder and throttle) move in the correct direction.

3. Be sure that your transmitter batteries are fully

charged, per the instructions included with your radio.
