gather around you...if so ask them to move away from you in a 

perimeter not less than 50m (150 feet) diameter around you.

Make sure that you have fully charged your transmitter and 

onboard battery packs. Make sure that the antenna of your 

Radio (TX) is up and correctly positioned; make sure the 

receiver (RX) for your craft is well positioned within the craft and 

secured and that the antenna is facing downward and to the 

back of your craft and not touching any part of the craft.

Place the craft on level ground and turn on your transmitter – 

check that you have the correct model selected on your TX.
