Check the receiver antenna to be sure it is not cut or
damaged
Replace or contact Horizon Product Support
Main and remote receivers too near each other
Install main and remote receivers at least 2 inches
(51mm) apart and perpendicular to each other
Receiver quits
responding during
operation
Low battery voltage Completely recharge flight battery
Loose or damaged wires or connectors between battery
and receiver

GENERAL
A model aircraft shall be dened as a non-human-carrying
aircraft capable of sustained ight in the atmosphere. It may not
exceed limitations established in this code and is intended to be
used exclusively for sport, recreation, and/or competition.
1. I will not willfully y my model aircraft in a careless or reck-
less manner, and will abide by this Safety Code and any
additional rules specic to ying sites.
2. I will yield the right-of-way to man-carrying aircraft and
will see and avoid all aircraft, utilizing a spotter when ap-
propriate. (See AMA Document #540-D on See and Avoid
Guidance.)
3. I will not y my model aircraft higher than approximately 400
feet above ground level, when within three (3) miles of an
airport without notifying the airport operator.
4. The maximum takeoff weight of a model aircraft, including
fuel, is 55 pounds, except for those own under the AMA
Experimental Aircraft Rules.
5. I will not y my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air
shows, or model demonstrations unless I have previously
proven that my aircraft, control system, and piloting skills are
adequate by successfully executing all maneuvers intended
or anticipated in the specic event. If I am not a procient
pilot, I will not y in these events unless assisted by an
experienced pilot.
6. I will not y my model aircraft unless it is identied with my
name and address, or AMA number, inside or afxed to the
outside of the model aircraft. This does not apply to model
aircraft own indoors.
7. I will not operate model aircraft with metal-blade propellers.
8. I will not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices
which explode or burn, or any device, which propels a
projectile of any kind. Exceptions include Free Flight fuses
or devices that burn producing smoke and are securely at-
tached to the model aircraft during ight. Rocket motors up
to a G-series size may be used, provided they remain rmly
attached to the model aircraft during ight. Model rockets
may be own in accordance with the National Model Rock-
etry Safety Code; however, they may not be launched from
model aircraft. Ofcially designated AMA Air Show Teams
(AST) are authorized to use devices and practices as dened
within the Team AMA Program Document.
9. I will not operate my model aircraft while under the inuence
of alcohol or while using any drug which could adversely
affect my ability to safely control the model.
10. 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.
Please see your local or regional modeling association’s
guidelines for proper, safe operation of your model aircraft.
