THINK SAFETY


These are some of the safety rules from AMA, IMAC, and some good old common sense.


 • No standing in front or directly to the side of a running nitro or gas plane’s propeller.

   (For electrics the same goes for running or not)


 • Start nitro and gas planes with the propeller facing away from the shelter or start them

    in the pits.


 • No smoking inside of the pits at all. (especially with gas or nitro present)


 • Those with gas powered planes must have a fire ext. in the pits at all times.


 • Two people preferred to maiden a new plane, (One to do the flying and the other to

     trim)


 • No one in the air after a plane experiences a sudden acute jump in gravitational

   forces, gravity check, or a good old plane crash.


 • Fly outside patterns at end of runway when someone is on the field to retrieve a dead

   stick.


 • Throttle lock on radios equipped with them should be used.


 • Do not taxi past the engine kill box.


 • Do not fly over or behind the pits, spectators, vehicles, or the shelter. If plane is

    out of control, ground it by any means possible to avoid damage to property or

   person.


 • Do not fly alone - always have with you another pilot or safety observer in case of accident     or injury.
