So, you have just bought an RC plane. Well, like thousands of other RC plane enthusiasts all over the world, you can get them in different sizes, shapes and varieties. You can get them at your friendly neighbourhood toyshop, you can get them online, and you can even borrow one from your best friend. RC planes are among the most popular of hobbies, going out there. But before you send your RC plane gliding on the wind, you would want to know more about pre-check inspections.
A complete RC plane check up is going to consist of a pre-flight inspection. So okay, you have checked your plane at home. You may want to do the same, before the flight takes off. That means that you are going to make sure that your plane is balanced with the wings and detail aligned properly. The bolts, the screws and the nuts need to be tightened. The connections have to be secure. The battery has to be charged completely. If you are using a remote control, you would also want to look at the remote control batteries for charging. In the same manner, all the control surfaces should be moving properly. And how is your transmitter signal working. Is it strong enough to fly your plane within the normal range and limits?
One important point — if there are a number of pilots flying in the same range, make sure that your radio frequency is different from theirs. A similar radio frequency can cause his plane to crash. However, this is not a problem if you are using a radio system of 2.4 GHz frequency. This occurs only when you are using narrowband RC plane frequencies.
