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.
