GENERAL
1) I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events,

air shows or model flying demonstrations until it

has been proven to be airworthy by having been

previously, successfully flight tested.
2) I will not fly my model higher than approximately

400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying

the airport operator. I will give right-of-way and avoid

flying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where

necessary, an observer shall be utilized to supervise

flying to avoid having models fly in the proximity of

full-scale aircraft.
3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules

for the flying site I use, and I will not willfully or

deliberately fly my models in a careless, reckless and/

or dangerous manner.
4) The maximum takeoff weight of a model is 55

pounds, except models flown under Experimental

Aircraft rules.

5) I will not fly my model unless it is identified with

my name and address or AMA number on or in the

model. (This does not apply to models while being

flown indoors.)
6) I will not operate models with metal-bladed

propellers or with gaseous boosts, in which gases

other than air enter their internal combustion

engine(s); nor will I operate models with extremely

hazardous fuels such as those containing

tetranitromethane or hydrazine.
RADIO CONTROL
1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment

ground range check before the first flight of a new or

repaired model.
2) I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence

of spectators until I become a qualified flier, unless

assisted by an experienced helper.
