Testing the reach of the radio system
Before flying your Cessna 182 for the first time it
is vital to check the range of the radio signal.
- Switch on the transmitter first, then connect
the receiver.
- Slowly increase the distance between the
transmitter and the model, which should be
held by a second person as precautionary
measure. Ensure that they keep the
propeller away from any part of their body
Requirements of the flight terrain
There are different regulations from country to
country governing model aircraft. Pay attention to
the corresponding safety precautions in choosing
your flight area.
The ideal location is a model airplane club with its
own facilities or large field with short grass.
There should be no animals, people, traffic or
parked vehicles present.
Never fly near large obstacles, electricity pylons or
overhead cables.
Obtain information about the weather and wind
velocity via the media (TV, newspaper, radio etc)
before you commence flying, in order to avoid the
risk of starting in unsuitable conditions. Never fly in
strong wind, rain or thunder.

voltage indicator of the transmitter must indicate
sufficient power for the flight to commence. In the
event of a hard landing any damaged items must
be completely repaired before flying is resumed.
- Operate the steering sticks in short intervals
and monitor the reaction of the rudders.
- Your R/C is performing well if the rudders
show the correct response at a distance of
about 300m between transmitter and the
model.
Never fly if your radio system does not work
perfectly, even if it is a temporary fault.
If you are a beginner you
should avoid flying in
conditions where there is
anything other than a very
light wind.
