Section 8: Preflight Checks at the Field
Important: Be sure to change both the
transmitter and receiver batteries following the
procedures described in the radio instruction
manual.
Before each flight, check the screws and nuts that
secure the metal plate holding the engine in place
on the engine mount. Also check the clevises of
each control surface for security and presence of a
clevis keeper.
Check the screws that hold the tail assembly in place,
as they can loosen during flight.

Perform a ground range check before each day's
flying as follows:
• Do not extend the transmitter antenna. Turn the
transmitter on.
• Turn the model on.
• Slowly walk away from the model while moving
the control surfaces. The aircraft should function
properly at a distance of 75–100 feet.
• Make sure all trim levers on the transmitter are in
the proper position.
• Make sure all servos and switch harness plugs
are secure.
Step 1
®
Start-Up
Fill the fuel tank with the proper fuel. We recommend
10% or 15% Nitro content such as Cool Power or
Powermaster fuel. Fill the tank by connecting the
fuel pump to the line connected to the remote needle
valve assembly. Disconnect the fuel line attached
to the pressure fitting of the muffler; your tank is
full when fuel begins to run out of the pressure line.
Reconnect the fuel lines to the needle valve
assembly and muffler.
Note: It is very important to reconnect the lines
to the correct place. The engine will not run
properly if they are improperly connected.
