[. . . ] Be certain to read all of the material in this manual, as well as the Operation and Installation insert. SECTION III SECTION IV SECTION I SAFETY FIRST FOR YOURSELF, FOR OTHERS AND FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT. "Safety First" is more than just a slogan when operating radio control models. Thus, we urge, especially with respect to radio controlled aircraft that: SECTION V NOTE: FOR BATTERY CHARGING INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS ON LEARING TO USE YOUR AIRTRONICS RADIO SYSTEM, PLEASE SEE THE AIRTRONICS RADIO OPERATION AND INSTALLATION INSERT. FOR YOUR SAFETY: Recognize that radio controlled models are not harmless toys and can be dangerous missiles if carelessly or improperly flown. You are responsible because the reliability and safe operation of the radio equipment is largely dependent upon its proper installation and utilization.

Their address is 5151 East Memorial Dr. , Muncie IN 47302. We urge you to examine the benefits of the membership including liability protection in the event of certain injuries. The Academy has adopted simple and sane rules, a few which are pertinent for radio controlled flight as the OFFICAL AMA SAFETY CODE; abide by these rules for your protection, the protection of others and equipment. I will not fly my model aircraft in competition or in the presence of spectators until it has been proven to be airworthy by having been previously successfully flight-tested. I will not fly my model higher than approximately 400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. I will give right of way to and avoid flying in the proximity of fullscale aircraft. When necessary, an observer shall be utilized to supervise flying to avoid having models fly in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Left Rudder Mode 1 Right Aileron Up Elevator Low Throttle Fig 3 SECTION II FEDERAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL OPERATING STANDARDS FOR MODEL AIRPLANES The Federal Communications Commission no longer requires a license to operate an R/C model transmitter. However, the Federal Aviation Administration has announced guidelines for operation of model aircraft. We are reprinting those guidelines here and encourage your study and cooperation. 2. 3 1. 2. 3. Purpose: This advisory circular outlines safety standards for operators of model aircraft and encourages voluntary compliance with these standards. Background: Attention has been drawn to the increase in model aircraft operations, and the need for added caution in the case of free-flight and radio controlled types to avoid creating a noise nuisance or a potential hazard to full-scale aircraft and persons and property on the surface. CHARGE THE BATTERIES AS OUTLINED UNDER SECTION IV BATTERY CHARGING, IN THE INSTALLATION AND GUIDELINES MANUAL. REMEMBER THAT IF A TRANSMITTERS PERFORMANCE HAS DROPPED IT MAY FAIL TO SEND THE SIGNALS NECESSARY TO ADQUATELY AND SAFELY CONTROL THE MODEL RESULTING IN A POSSIBE CRASH. TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN THE NAMES OF ALL COMPONENTS YOU ARE GOING TO CONNECT AND TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THE TRANSMITTER Do not attempt to force the servo plugs into the receiver; properly align each plug and it will move into place. The same is true of the plug leading from the receiver battery pack and switch harness. 5 1. 2. 3. 4. Once you have followed the diagrams for connecting the airborne components of your VG400/AVENGER 2X FM radio control system and you have studied and understood the diagram illustrating the transmitter control stick functions, you are ready to energize the system and study its actual operation. Switch on the transmitter, then switch on the airborne package. There maybe some initial movement in the servos even though you have not moved the transmitter sticks. Once they have found a position, they will stay there. Now follow the diagram indicating the transmitter's control functions by moving each stick and watching the reaction of the servo or servos. Move the small black trim levers and note the slight servo movements. Keep these all centered through the installation of your system in your model. They will be used in actual flight or operation of the model to adjust servo position slightly. . . a process called "trimming". [. . . ] If a change of operating channel is desired, return the VG400/AVENGER 2X transmitter and receiver to Airtronics for the desired channel change. Channel changes are not covered under warranty and a service charge will apply. CONTROL STICK LENGTH AND TENSION ADJUSTMENT: The length and spring tension of the control sticks can both be adjusted as required by the individual flyer. For stick spring tension, turning the adjustment screw clockwise will incre ases stick tension. [. . . ]
