Extend the transmit-
ter antenna to its full
length.
If the transmitter antenna is not
fully extended the operating
range of the radio will be re-
duced.
Always perform a operating range
check prior to use.
Problems with the radio control system as well as im-
proper installation in a model could cause loss of con-
trol.
(Simple range test method)
Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or
place it where the wheels or prop can not come in
contact with any object. Walk away and check to
see if the servos follow the movement of the con-
trols on the transmitter. Should you notice any ab-
normal operation, Do not operate the model. Also
check to be sure the model memory matches the
model in use.
Caution
Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of
the model that will generate heat while the model is operating
or immediately after its use.
These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.
