    Some more precaution for the check list.
    Hopefully, for those so called "hero flyers" spend some of their time to read this

    1. Pre-flight / Frqz check

    2. aware/inform other flyers when taking off and landing. (Just shout "Take off" or "Landing") RC plane can be a deadly weapon when hit into someone.

    3. When having an interference, dont cont. to fly, bring the plane down and try to land it at a safe spot.

    4. Do not fly near buildings, (wat happen if you lost control of your plane and hit directly into the building? result : we might get banned from flying there just because of one guy who dont take the safety precaution )

    5. Dont place any loose objects or your fingers need the Ducted Fan unit or prop when carrying out amp check. Result : Loose object might get suck in by the DF or prop. Can you Imagine blades broken into pcs at high speed and hit you?.

    6. DO not fly alone especially for those beginners.

    In Singapore, location for flying are quite limited and mostly are located near building or high way, So guys PLEASE fly safely.

        More... (for nitro flyers)

        Do not have any loose objects (glow starter, pens etc) in your shirt/T-shirt pocket nor wear long chains! - danger of things falling into the spinning prop & becoming shrapnel when you bend-over to adjust the needle!

        Do make sure that your TX antenna is extended before you take-off!

        Do not fly on a flight battery whose charge you are not sure of.

        Do not do low passes without first checking out both ends of the runway for people; better still, announce your intention of doing a low-pass stating the direction (L-to-R, R-to-L)

        Do not fly anywhere behind yourself where spectators usually are. Do not fly over spectators. Fly the circuit & do all manoeuvers in front of you.

        Do not fly 3-D too close to yourself or to spectators.

        and lastly;

        Do not fly, or even stand in the open if you see lightning in the distance!
        Singapore has the highest rate of lightning-groundstrikes... you don't want to be the first R/C flyer in the news!

          Clearing wrong frequency.

          With new synthesis tx module, please read and re-confirm the tx frequency before you clear with others. You may end up clearing the wrong frequency.

          Some if not all Tx has some kind of frequency label on the crystal cover. If u change the crystal, re label the cover immediately, otherwise, u may end up clearing the wrong frequency.

            Hi Er69, agree with you fully see my forum "fastest way to lose a Flying site"
            ...or rather the fastest way to see" No model aircraft flying allow by order" sign...

            All it take is just one serious unfortunate mishap.

              Dead Stick

              Dead Stick - Repeatedly shout "Dead Stick" for others to watch out for your attempted landing recovery path.
              2 purposes :
              1) Your buddies can watch and clear your approach
              2) Other flyers who are flying next to you will give way to your emergency landing.
              ...Only applicable for Nitro Planes



              For Nitro helis flamed-out during fast forward flight/3D..... errr god bless the flyer unless he hits the auto switch and still able to warn off others while doing his split-second recovery all at the same time...
