Model Setup Functions
To ensure your own safety and the safety of others,
please observe the following precautions:
Flying field
We recommend that you fly at a recognized model air-
plane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields
by asking your nearest hobby dealer, or contacting the
Academy of Model Aeronautics. Always pay particular
attention to the flying field's rules, as well as the presen-
ce and location of spectators, the wind direction, and
any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in
areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communication
facilities as there may be radio interference in their
vicinity. If you must fly at a site that is not a club field,
be sure there are no other modelers flying within a two-
mile range, or you may lose control of your aircraft.
Charge the Batteries!
Be sure to recharge the batteries before each flying ses-
sion. A battery low in charge will soon die, causing loss
of control and a crash. Plug in the charger that comes
in this system and hook up the transmitter and airborne
batteries the day before a planned flying session. When
you begin your flying session, reset the transmitter's tim-
er to keep track of how long the system's been used,
and monitor the transmitter's voltage display. Quit flying
long before your batteries become low. Beware of on-
field charging of your batteries with a field charger. A
fast-charger may overcharge the Ni-Cd batteries, caus-
ing overheating and a premature failure. Never charge
your transmitter or receiver battery at a rate higher than
2 amps.
Airplane Frequencies
The following frequencies and channel numbers may be
used for flying aircraft in the U.S. (this information speci-
fic to North American versions of the Eclipse):
Once you arrive at the flying field....
Before flying, be sure that the frequency you intend to
fly with is not in use, and secure any frequency control
device(pin, tag, etc.) for that frequency before turning
on your transmitter. Never believe that it's possible to fly
two or more models on the same frequency at the same
time. Even though there are different types of modulation
(AM, PPM or FM, and PCM), only one model may be
flown on a single frequency. When you are ready to fly
your model, position the throttle stick to its low speed
position, or do whatever is necessary to command your
motor NOT to run. Then, you may turn on the transmitter
power followed by the receiver power. When you have
finished flying, begin by turning off the receiver power,
then turn off the transmitter power. If you do not follow
these procedures, you may damage your servos or
control surfaces, flood your motor, or in the case of
electric-powered models, the motor may unexpectedly
turn on and cause a severe injury. Before starting the
engine, fully retract the transmitter antenna, power up
the transmitter and receiver, and check to be sure that
the servos follow the movement of the sticks. If a servo
operates abnormally, don't attempt to fly until you
determine the cause of the problem. We recommend
that you range-check your system before each flying
session. Have an observer verify that the system works
with the transmitter about 30 paces away with the
transmitter antenna collapsed. Finally, before starting
the engine, be sure to check that the transmitter model
memory is correct for the chosen model. While you're
getting ready to fly, if you place your transmitter on the
ground, be sure that the wind won't tip it over.
If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may accidentally
get moved causing the engine to race unexpectedly.
Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna
to its full length. A collapsed antenna will reduce your
flying range and may cause a loss of control. It is a
good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna
directly at the model at all times, since the signal is
weakest in that direction. Finally, don't fly in the rain!
Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the
antenna or stick openings and cause erratic operation
or loss of control.
If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure
to protect your transmitter with a plastic bag or water-
proof barrier.
Installing your frequency number indicator
It is very important to display your transmitter channel
number at all times. To install your frequency flag device
on your transmitter antenna, slide the appropriate paper
numbers into the slots and slip the device onto the
transmitter antenna.
