  • Page 17: Flying Outdoors

    FLYING OUTDOORS HOW TO PREVENT FLY AWAYS To prevent “fly-away” situations (where planes seem to fly away out of control) it is important to first test and practice within close range before letting the plane fly too far away. Each plane is designed to land if the radio signal is lost. (But, this should not be considered a landing procedure or normal flight practice.) It is important to know and test the range of your plane before flying.
