Federal Licensing Requirements and Special Operating Standards for Model Airplanes System Features Unpacking and setting up your AIRTRONICS VG400 or VG600 Radio Control System Operation Adjustments We ask that you pay particular attention to the design of the transmitter. Notice that it has been engineered for the most natural and precise control of your choice of flying models. [. . . ] However, the Federal Aviation Administration has announced guidelines for operation of model aircraft. We are reprinting those guidelines here and encourage your study and cooperation. 2. 3 1. 2. 3. Purpose: This advisory circular outlines safety standards for operators of model aircraft and encourages voluntary compliance with these standards. Background: Attention has been drawn to the increase in model aircraft operations, and the need for added caution in the case of free-flight and radio controlled types to avoid creating a noise nuisance or a potential hazard to full-scale aircraft and persons and property on the surface. Operating Standards: Modelers, generally, are concerned about safety and do exercise good judgment when flying model aircraft. However, in the interest of avoiding undue criticism from affected communities and airspace users, COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS IS ENCOURAGED BY OPERATORS OF RADIO CONTROLLED AND FREE-FLIGHT MODELS. Exercise vigilance for full-scale aircraft (get other people to help if possible) so as not to create a collision hazard. Select an operating site at a sufficient distance from populated areas to avoid creating a noise problem or a potential hazard. Do not operate closer than three miles from the boundary of an airport unless permission to do so by the appropriate air traffic control zone has been designated, or by the airport manager in the case of other airports. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance in complying with these guidelines at the airport traffic control tower, or air route center nearest the site of the proposed operations. · Attractive chrome, and black plastic case with internally collapsible antenna · Throttle High and Low End Point Adjustment · Servo travel adjustment elev, ail, flap, rud (VG600 Only) · Trainer system compatible with our RD6000, Radiant and other Vanguard units · Internal Plug-in 700mah NiCd transmitter battery · 3 Position Aux 6 channel (VG600 Only) RECEIVER Dual conversion 7 channel FM narrow band receiver that meets AMA guid elines for operation at 20 kHz channel spacing. Plug in the AC charger in the wall outlet and connect the proper leads in the transmitter and receiver battery and let charge for a full 24 hours for the first initial charge. After both batteries are fully charged, note the LED display to make sure that the FULL light is operating properly. If the FULL LED will not light up after a 24-hour charge, your transmitter RF output maybe weak, this will need to be sent to AIRTRONICS to be checked. Switch "off" the transmitter and remove all of the other components from the foam packing box containing your AIRTRONICS VG400/VG600 FM radio control system. At this point, your objective is to get the system operating on your workbench. Once connected, you must then refe r to the corresponding diagram for your system (Figure 3), showing the transmitter control stick's function. CONTROL STICK'S FUNCTIONS AND NAMES ATTACHED TO THOSE FUNCTIONS. 4. 5. NOTE THE FOLLOWING AT THIS POINT: It is of no consequence at this point which servo you plug into which function since your aim is simply to learn and see how the system operates on your bench. The connectors on your AIRTRONICS radio control system are rugged but should be handled with care. The receiver that came with your unit is designed for the new "Z" connector servos only. You must use a connector plug adapter part #99400Z in order to use older AIRTRONICS servos, switch harness and or batteries. WARNING: IF YOU CONNECT OLDER AIRTRONICS SERVOS AND OR BATTERIES WIT HOUT USING THE CORRECT ADAPTER, YOU MAY SHORT OUT YOUR SYSTEM AND CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE TO YOUR FLIGHT PACK. SHORTED SYSTEMS WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. 6. WARNING: Do not attempt to use the transmitter if the LED lights are not visible from MID to Full. CAUTION: IF NO LIGHTS ARE VISIBLE WHEN YOU TURN THE TRNSMITTER SWITCH ON, THE BATTERY PACK WITHIN THE TRANSMITTER IS MORE LIKELY DISCHARGED. CHARGE THE BATTERIES AS OUTLINED UNDER SECTION IV BATTERY CHARGING, IN THE INSTALLATION AND GUIDELINES MANUAL. [. . . ] The owner should not change the FM crystals because realignment of the transmitter and receiver FM deviation is required following a crystal change. Failure to do this could cause the transmitter signal to be outside of the receivers pass band. This could cause loss of control and a subsequent crash of your model. If a change of operating channel is desired, return the VG400/VG600 transmitter and receiver to Airtronics for the desired channel change. [. . . ]
