Range Test Your Radio
Step 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 receiver in your airplane.
With your airplane on the ground and the engine running, you
should be able to walk 30 paces (approximately 100 feet) 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.
