23E-flite Rhapsody 25e ARF Assembly Manual

8. I will not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic

devices which explode burn, or propel a projectile

of any kind. Exceptions include Free Flight fuses

or devices that burn producing smoke and are

securely attached to the model aircraft during flight.

Rocket motors up to a G-series size may be used,

provided they remain firmly attached to the model

aircraft during flight. Model rockets may be flown in

accordance with the National Model Rocketry Safety

Code; however, they may not be launched from

model aircraft. Officially designated AMA Air Show

Teams (AST) are authorized to use devices and

practices as defined within the Air Show Advisory

Committee Document.

9. I will not operate my model aircraft while under

the influence of alcohol or within eight (8) hours of

having consumed alcohol.

10. I will not operate my model aircraft while using

any drug which could adversely affect my ability to

safely control my model aircraft.

11. Children under six (6) years old are only allowed

on a flightline or in a flight area as a pilot or while

under flight instruction.

12. When and where required by rule, helmets must be

properly worn and fastened. They must be OSHA,

DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE approved or

comply with comparable standards.

RADIO CONTROL

1. All model flying shall be conducted in a manner to

avoid over flight of unprotected people.

2. I will have completed a successful radio equipment

ground-range check before the first flight of a new

or repaired model aircraft.

3. I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of

spectators until I become a proficient flier, unless I

am assisted by an experienced pilot.

4. At all flying sites a line must be established,

in front of which all flying takes place. Only

personnel associated with flying the model aircraft

are allowed at or in front of the line. In the case

of airshows demonstrations straight line must be

established. An area away from the line must be

maintained for spectators. Intentional flying behind

the line is prohibited.

5. I will operate my model aircraft using only radio-

control frequencies currently allowed by the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC). Only individuals

properly licensed by the FCC are authorized to

operate equipment on Amateur Band frequencies.

6. I will not knowingly operate my model aircraft

within three (3) miles of any preexisting flying site

without a frequency-management agreement. A

frequency management agreement may be an

allocation of frequencies for each site, a day-

use agreement between sites, or testing which

determines that no interference exists. A frequency-

management agreement may exist between two

or more AMA chartered clubs, AMA clubs and

individual AMA members, or individual AMA

members. Frequency-management agreements,

including an interference test report if the

agreement indicates no interference exists, will be

signed by all parties and copies provided to AMA

Headquarters.

7. With the exception of events flown under official

AMA rules, no powered model may be flown

outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual,

except for the pilot and located at the flightline.

8. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other

person touch a model aircraft in flight while it is

still under power, except to divert it from striking an

individual.

9. Radio-controlled night flying is limited to low-

performance model aircraft (less than 100 mph).

The model aircraft must be equipped with a lighting

system which clearly defines the aircraft’s attitude

and direction at all times.

10. The operator of a radio-controlled model aircraft

shall control it during the entire flight, maintaining

visual contact without enhancement other than by

corrective lenses that are prescribed for the pilot.

No model aircraft shall be equipped with devices

which allow it to be flown to a selected location

which is beyond the visual range of the pilot.

Rhapsody 25e Safe Operating Recommendations

- Inspect your model before every flight to make

certain it is airworthy.

- Be aware of any other radio frequency user who

may present an interference problem.

- Always be courteous and respectful of other

users of your selected flight area.

- Choose an area clear of obstacles and large

enough to safely accommodate your flying

activity.

- Make certain this area is clear of friends and

spectators prior to launching your aircraft.

- Be aware of other activities in the vicinity of your

flight path that could cause potential conflict.

- Carefully plan your flight path prior to launch.

- Abide by any and all established AMA National

Model Aircraft Safety Code.
