Tips

• When heading for the park, take along sellotape, a small screwdriver and a penknife. From minor adjustments to repairing crash damage, it's best to be prepared and not have to trudge all the way back home each time!
• Don't attempt to fly these lightweight foam and plastic RTF aircraft in anything other than still air and light breezes. They get thrown around by any kind of wind and you will lose control!
• Don't let children fly your plane(s) unless you're happy for them to be crashed. Even with pusher-based RTF planes, it's still far too easy to crash!
• When trying to come down gently, don't just cut off the power and hope the crash isn't too bad. Try to ease off the power or even pulse it, to stagger the descent.
• With pusher-driven planes, watch your fingers when launching. I speak from painful experience!
• As the instructions always say, find a big enough space, otherwise you will end up in a tree or crashing into something or someone!
