PDQ Flyers Hints & Tips
Important pre-season flight check ups
This year before your first flight of the day there are a few things that you need to check on your model to insure a safe flight.
- Before you turn on radio place proper channel marker on the frequency board. Range check radio, collapse antenna and walk 75' - 100' at least, you should have full control of surfaces and no interface.
- Are the batteries charged do the batteries need to be replaced, cycle the batteries with a discharger to insure they are up to the job. Do not fly batteries that read lower than 4.8 volts when tested with 1amp load.
- Are all screws linkages, wire connections tight? Make sure the muffler & carburetor, back plate screws have not worked loose.
- Grab the flight box and bring the entire hanger out for the day!. Have a safe flight and remember that the take off is optional, the landing is mandatory.
