Pre-Flight At The Flying Field - Hangar 9 Super Stick Instruction Manual

PRE-FLIGHT AT THE FLYING FIELD

Range Test Your Radio
1.
Before each flying session be sure to range check your
radio. This is accomplished by turning on your
transmitter with the antenna collapsed. Turn on the
radio in your airplane. With your airplane on the
ground, you should be able to walk 30 paces away
from your airplane and still have complete control of
all functions. If not, don't attempt to fly! Have your
radio equipment checked out by the manufacturer.
2. Double check that all controls (aileron, elevator,
throttle, rudder) move in the correct direction.
3. Be sure that your batteries are fully charged per the
instructions included with your radio.
Adjusting the Engine
1.
Completely read the instructions included with your
engine and follow the recommended break-in
procedure. At the field adjust the engine to a slightly
rich setting at full throttle and adjust the idle and low
speed needle so that a consistent idle is achieved.
Before you fly be sure that your engine reliably idles,
transitions and runs at all throttle settings . Only
when this is achieved should any plane be considered
ready for flight.
