Always think "Safety First" We hate the words "Do Not" around here, but this section warrants its use. All airplanes must meet the AMA requirements for flying in a Class C Event. No Maiden Flights! Be careful when fueling and transporting your planes not to get Gas on the grass. Use a Catch Can on you over flow. If you do not have a catch can we have some you can borrow. Please DO NOT turn on your Transmitter until the person flying before you has shut down his Transmitter. There are a limited number of 2.4 systems that can be on at the same time. So, we are asking you to only turn your transmitters on at the flight stations and no where else. If you need to work in the pits use your DSC cable. You have five flight lines to choose from: Main Flight Line (Race Track Pattern), 3D Flight Line, Heli, Flight Line, Float Flight Line, and the Electric Flight Line (Under 80" wingspan) Now that you've made your choice of Flight Line and Flight Station, just get in line. While waiting in line to fly. Check over your aircraft. (Check Battery voltage) Watch the pilots in the air to learn the flight pattern. DO NOT FLY AGAINST THE PATTEREN! When starting your plane make sure the nose of the plane is past the front of the flight station. All airplanes must have a Fail Safe System! Most 2.4 systems have this designed in. The engine must go to idle if a loss of signal happens. You will be asked to demonstrate this by a flight line worker before your first flight. To do this secure your plane then run up your engine to about 1/4 throttle and shut down your transmitter, The engine should go to idle. This test will be preformed at the flight station. The control surfaces can be set to your preference. This for everyone's safety, so please do not fly until it's checked. Now that your plane is checked out you are ready to go. Taxi out past the white line in front of the flight stations. This taxiway will keep you off the active runway and out past people starting planes. Taxi slowly and in control. Spotters are required on all Flight Lines! At each flight station we will have handheld radios with headsets for the spotters to wear. This is for better communication between the spotters and the flight line boss. Use these to call out your intentiions.ie.. Taxing Out, Taking Off, Landing, In Flight Situations,... On the Main Flight Line we have a Air Horn button located at each flight station. Spotters if at any time your pilot lets you know that he/she does not have control of their airplane. Press and hold this button for 3 seconds and point at the airplane! Tell everyone what's going on. Pilots, do not wait, if you loose control of your airplane let your spotter know immediately. Do all you can to keep the airplane away from any people. After Landing remember turn your Motor off in front of your flight station. Do not taxi back in to the pit area. Do Not fly over the other flight areas. i.e... Main Flight take note of the electric flying area. |

 Only 2.4gh radio systems will be allowed to be used at any flight line this year. This includes the Main, 3D, Float, Heli, and Electric Flight Lines. With only a few 72mz systems being used last year and the added safety that the 2.4 systems bring to the table. We feel it is in the best interest of everyone that we put this rule in to effect. We still ask you only to turn your systems on if you are at a flight line at a flight station. No Flying anywhere except at a Flight Station!
