TAI Members Inputs on RC Flying Safety Reminders
This section is for TAI members to provide other RC flyers some basic “RC Flying Safety Reminders” based on their personal experiences. If you would like to add an input, please let us know.
The first input we received deals with RC airplane propellers. Your RC model airplanes most dangerous part is its propeller. Even the smaller park flyer propellers can cause significant damage. In the full-size aviation world, they assume that the propeller can turn at any moment. This is a great approach to dealing with your RC model airplane as well.
