- Check to make sure your radio is off before arriving at the
field. ALWAYS get your frequency pin BEFORE turning your radio
on for any reason. This is a simple thing to do but there are
problems with it every year. This can result in many $$$ down
the drain and cause severe injury and even death!
--
- NEVER EVER!!!! lean over the prop to adjust the engine.
Take a second to get behind the prop. A sharp blade stuck in
your face or neck, etc. can sure ruin your day or even your
life!! Many engines, especially 4 strokes, will throw a prop
with little or NO WARNING!!
--
- Do a proper range test with the engine running 1/2 power or
more. Most modern radios recommend about 100 feet with the
antenna down. If it is not working right, DO NOT FLY IT!!
Always range test a new or repaired model.
--
- PLEASE DON'T GO FLYING ALONE, IT IS NOT A SAFE IDEA, ESPECIALLY
AT AN ISOLATED FIELD LIKE OURS, WHERE NO ONE WILL HEAR OUR CRIES FOR
HELP!!
