Range Test Your Radio

Step 1. Before each flying session, be sure to range check your
radio 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.
