How
high can you fly?
The regulations for the R/C hobbyist will limit you to 400 ft.
-
Where
can you fly?
The 1/8 and 1/4 scales can be flown from a backyard or
park. You generally need a 100 ft. x 50 ft. clearing for safe operation
on the larger units. Always be aware of power lines.
-
Can
you fly in strong winds?
Each of our units will fly the best in low wind conditions. We recommend
max. winds of 15 mph with no gusts.

How
long can you fly?
The fuel tank size and battery charge are the only things
limiting your flight times. The nitro engines will allow 3- to 45
minutes and gas engines will allow 2 to 3 hours of flight time.

How
far can you fly?
Usually in the line of site, about 1 mile
- What is your return
policy?
All sales are final. All units larger than the 1/4 scale unit are not
returnable. Each kit is custom-made and therefore not available for
resale.

What happens if the engine quits?

What
R/C skills are needed?
The 1/8 and 1/4 scale units can be used to teach and
learn to fly radio controlled aircraft. The 1/3 and 1/2 scales are

What
if you lose control?
If this should happen and you are over a safe landing area,
shut the engine off and let the unit land itself.

lines. The are very durable and brightly colored. If soiled, sponge
