airplane..If.you.are.flying.an.electric.version,.make.sure..
to.charge.the.motor.battery.as.well..Use.the.recommended.
charger.supplied.with.your.particular.radio.system,.
following.the.instructions.provided.with.the.radio..In..
most.cases,.the.radio.should.be.charged.the.night.before.
going.out.flying.
Check.the.radio.installation.and.make.sure.all.the.control.
surfaces.are.moving.correctly.(i.e..the.correct.direction.
and.with.the.recommended.throws).
Check.all.the.control.horns,.servo.horns.and.clevises.to.
make.sure.they.are.secure.and.in.good.condition..Replace.

Pre-Flight
Range Test Your Radio
Range.check.your.radio.system.before.each.flying..
session..This.is.accomplished.by.turning.on.your.
transmitter.with.the.antenna.collapsed..Turn.on.the..
radio.in.your.airplane..With.your.airplane.on.the.ground,.
