VolantexRC ASW28 Instructions Manual - Know Your Frequency
Know Your Frequency
Flight Checklist
CAUTION: The transmitter used to control your plane transmits signals
on
one of several frequencies that are available. To find out your frequency (or
“channel”), look on the transmitter, If your “channel” happens to be the same as
another model that is being flown nearby (even within a few miles), one or both
models will crash. Know your frequency and be aware of the frequency of
other models that are flying nearby
,
especially if you are flying at a radio control
flying site. All flying sites have some sort of frequency control system to avoid
this kind of interference , so learn how to use their frequency control system.
Never turn on your transmitter until you are certain that you will be the only one
operating on your frequency.
PLEASE NOTE: This checklist is NOT intended to replace the content included
in this instruction manual. Although it can be used as a quick start guide,
we strongly suggest reading through this manual completely before proc-
eeding.

Perform a Range Check
As a precaution, an operational ground range test should be performed before the
first flight each time out. performing a range test is a good way to detect problems that
could cause loss of control such as low batteries defective or damaged radio
components or radio interference. This usually requires an assistant and should be
done at
the
actual flying site you will be using.
