Preflight Checks

Center of Gravity: Check CG is set properly.

Engine: The engine should run smoothly at all

throttle settings with smooth transition from

idle to full throttle without stalling or hesita-

tion. Do not fly an unreliable engine. Read

engine instructions including break in and tun-

ing completely.

Prop balancing: Ensure prop is properly balanced

prior to mounting on engine.

Flight Controls: Ensure all flight controls are

free from binding and are centered. Check

that all hinges are tight and will not pull out.

Control linkages must be rigid and tight and

have no slop. Confirm proper direction of ai-

lerons, rudder, and elevator. Experienced fly-

ers have lost airplanes due to reversed ailer-

ons. Right roll is right up, left down. Left roll

is left up, right down.

Batteries: Transmitter, ignition and receiver bat-

teries are fully charged.

Fasteners: Check all engine bolts, wing bolts,

hatch bolts, servo screws, control horn bolts,

wheel collars, and clevis keepers are tight and

secure.

Covering: Check all covering and seams are

sealed and secure.

Radio: Check trims set to neutral and controls

centered. Check rate and condition switches

set properly. Check the receiver antenna is

fully extended and not reversed on it self.

Range check: Do a range check with and without

the engine running in accordance with the ra-

dio manufacturer instructions. If there is in-

sufficient range or a large reduction with the

engine running, do not fly until it is resolved!

Fuel: Fill the fuel tank before each flight.
