Remove all excess fuel from the fuel tank,
as this fuel can become jelly-like and cause
clogging of fuel lines, as well as clogging
the engine's carburetor.
Always use after-run oil in the engine to
prevent corrosion.
Check and double check that the transmit-
ter and receiver switches are switched to
the off positions.
Wipe off the excess oil that will collect on
the wing and fuselage. Use a light-duty
cleaner to help cut through the oil.
Remove fresh fuel from the surface of the
plane immediately, as different brands can
cause clouding of the surface.
Replace any bent, marred or dinged props
as they can fly apart at any time when the
engine is running.
Completely check the airplane for damage
to the wings, landing gear and covering.
Repair as needed before your next flight.
