RC Helicopter Pre Flight Checklist
Posted on | Monday, May 9, 2011 | 1 Comment
Just like any other normal pre flight checklist, essential points are also there for a RC Helicopter Pre Flight Checklist. Checklist for every model is almost the same; a slight difference here and there can be present however. It is important to make sure that nothing would mar your enjoyable flying session.
As many RC Helicopter Kits are available without pre-assembled product, you have to build your own RC Electronic Helicopter, Gas RC Helicopter or helicopters like RTF RC Helicopters. Before the helicopter leaves ground for the first time, make sure that all the nuts and bolts are in their proper place, see that none is missing; they should be tight and well inserted. Sometimes if in a hurry, the aspiring builder might forget to fix a nut and bolt properly, in its loosened condition the whole thing might come apart in the middle of a flight. A moving object is likely to cause more injury to the person it hits. On crashing the RC Helicopter might give up its Ghost, meaning it might stop functioning due to broken wings etc. To protect yourself from injury and paying undue expenses, you should see that you have a secure Helicopter with you.
In RC Helicopter Pre Flight Checklist you are advised to see that all wires are properly connected and are without any breakages. Connections to the servo should be given a thorough look.
Those choppers which constitute of a tail should be checked for proper tightening of the belt. The belt should neither be too loose or too tight.
The swashplate should be in a working order.
The throw direction for all the servos and pushrods has to be checked according to RC Helicopter Pre Flight Checklist.
The gyros, batteries, BEC, ESC, and governor should be mounted up with pads. Some helicopter parts like the gyro, wear out much faster, and need to be replaced more often. You should make sure that it is done so to prevent falling off the parts during a competitive flight.
Blades of the helicopter should be in proper alignment to each other.
Nitro and RC Gas Helicopters should be checked for fuel leakages or cracks in the hoses etc.
