Find A Safe Place To Fly - GREAT PLANES Escapade Instruction Manual

2. I will not fly my model aircraft higher than approximately
400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the
airport operator. I will give right of way to and avoid flying in
the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary an
observer shall be utilized to supervise flying to avoid having
models fly in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.
3. Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the
flying site I use and I will not willfully and deliberately fly my
models in a careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.
7. I will not fly my model unless it is identified with my name
and address or AMA number, on or in the model.
RADIO CONTROL
1. I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground
check before the first flight of a new or repaired model.
2. I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of
spectators until I become a qualified flyer, unless assisted
by an experienced helper.
3. I will perform my initial turn after takeoff away from the pit,
spectator and parking areas and I will not thereafter perform
maneuvers, flights of any sort or landing approaches over a
pit, spectator or parking area.
4. I will operate my model using only radio control
frequencies currently allowed by the Federal Communications
Commission.

FIND A SAFE PLACE TO FLY

Though the Escapade is a "Park Flyer," the best place to fly
any model is at an AMA chartered club field. Club fields are
set up for R/C flying, making your outing safer and more
enjoyable. We recommend that you join the AMA and a local
club so you can have a safe place to fly and have insurance
to cover you in case of a flying accident. The AMA address
and telephone number are in the front of this manual.
If there is no club or R/C flying field in your area, find a
suitable site that is clear of trees, telephone poles,
buildings, towers, busy streets and other obstacles. Since
you are not flying at a sanctioned AMA site, be aware that
there may be others like yourself who could be flying
nearby. If both of your models happen to be on the same
frequency, interference will likely cause one or both of the
models to crash. An acceptable minimum distance between
flying models is five miles, so keep this in mind when
searching for a flying site.
In addition to obstacles, it is important to be aware of people
who may wander into the area once you begin flying. At
