Check Your Radio

Before going to the field, be sure that your batteries are

fully charged per the instructions included with your radio.

Charge both the transmitter and receiver pack for your

airplane. Use the recommended charger supplied with

your particular radio system, following the instructions

provided with the radio. In most cases, the radio should be

charged the night before going out flying.

Before each flying session, be sure to range check

your radio. See your radio manual for the recommended

range and instructions for your radio system. Each

radio manufacturer specifies different procedures for

their radio systems. Next, start the motor. With the

model securely anchored, check the range again.

The range test should not be significantly affected. If

it is, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment

checked out by the manufacturer.

Note: Keep loose items that can get entangled

in the propeller away from the prop. These

include loose clothing, or other objects such as

pencils and screwdrivers. Especially keep your

hands away from the propeller.

Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, rudder

and throttle) move in the correct direction.

Check the radio installation and make sure all the

control surfaces are moving correctly (i.e. the correct

direction and with the recommended throws). Test run

the motor and make sure it transitions smoothly from

off to full throttle and back. Also ensure the motor is

installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions,

and it will operate properly.

Check all the control horns, servo horns, and clevises to

make sure they are secure and in good condition. Replace

any items that would be considered questionable. Failure

of any of these components in flight would mean the loss

of your aircraft.
