2) I will not fl y my model aircraft higher than approximately
400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. I will give right-of-way and avoid fl ying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary, an observer shall be utilized to supervise fl ying to avoid having models fl y in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.
3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the fl ying site I use, and I will not willfully and deliberately fl y my models in a careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.
5) I will not fl y my model unless it is identifi ed with my name and address or AMA number, on or in the model. Note: This does not apply to models while being fl own indoors.
7) I will not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device that explodes, burns, or propels a projectile of any kind).
NEVER connect battery packs with different Voltages in
Parallel –only combine in Series . Otherwise, the batteries will try to “equalize” with the larger one trying to “charge” the smaller one, thus causing heat and likely a fi re.

Radio Control
1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground check before the fi rst fl ight of a new or repaired model.
2) I will not fl y my model aircraft in the presence of spectators until I become a qualified flier, unless assisted by an experienced helper.
3) At all fl ying sites a straight or curved line(s) must be established in front of which all fl ying takes place with the other side for spectators. Only personnel involved with fl ying the aircraft are allowed at or in the front of the fl ight line.
Intentional fl ying behind the fl ight line is prohibited.
4) I will operate my model using only radio control frequencies currently allowed by the Federal Communications Commission.

Also NEVER connect battery packs with different capacities in Series or in Parallel.
5)
I will not knowingly operate my model within three miles of any pre-existing fl ying site except in accordance with the frequency sharing agreement listed
[in the complete AMA Safety Code].
Range Check
Don’t forget to perform your usual ground range checks as written in the instruction manual that came with your radio system to be certain it is operating correctly.
9) Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a powered model in fl ight;
nor should any part of the model other than the landing gear, intentionally touch the ground, except while landing.
Know Before You Fly

FLYING
As mentioned in the introduction, in spite of its aerobatic design the Ultimate is an easy fl yer. If you’ve prepared your
Ultimate using suggested components as described in the manual (whether glow or electric), the wing loading is relatively light which facilitates its landing and general fl ying characteristics. But no matter what is written here, you still have to fl y a successful maiden and see for yourself to gain confi dence, so make sure the throws and C.G. are set up as specifi ed. Intermediate pilots should takeoff and fl y the fi rst few minutes on low rates until the Ultimate is trimmed for straight-and-level fl ight. Learn the Ultimate’s slow-fl ight and stall characteristics at a high altitude where there is plenty of time and altitude to recover. The Ultimate doesn’t exhibit any particular fl ight characteristics that you need to be warned about ahead of time, but we can tell you that landings will be easier and gentler if you
drag
the Ultimate in with three or four
clicks
of power to arrest the sink rate allowing it to gently settle onto the runway.
