I am sure that the last thing you
want to hear when you are ready to launch your radio
controlled boats is to slow down a little and take your
time. After all, you have been looking forward to this
moment and now you want to have some fun! That is
exactly why you need to take a deep breath and use some
common sense. Good judgment prior to launch might just
help you avoid problems during your outing with your
radio controlled boats.. Look Around
Be very aware of other radio controlled boats and
operators in your vicinity. Remember that even though
you have a controller, something could happen that is
unpredictable. Interference or water fowl could enter
your field of operations and cause havoc. When using an
RC boat, always try to stay ahead of potential problems
be assuming that something could happen. In other words,
do not let yourself be surprised by the actions of
others. Play defensively around your fellow controlled
boats enthusiasts.!
Be Cool
Believe it or not, intentionally disrupting that flock
of floating birds, if they are still there, is not
really that cool. Besides, in most all places, it is
either illegal or seriously ill-advised. Also, do not
launch and operate any radio controlled boats in and
around aquatic life such as marsh and reeds and the
like. When you do this, it is only a matter of time
before you foul your prop, possibly ruining your RC
boat, and if your boat is out in the middle of the lake,
guess who is going swimming?
Look Out Below
You should double check the water depth if you are
unfamiliar with your launch area. With the high rpms of
the prop, even little rocks can cause damage. And, you
want to make sure that the hull of your radio controlled
boats do not come into contact with the bottom. Here
again, just a moment of caution is all that is needed to
avoid problems or damage to your RC boat. .
Keep in mind these several
items and your play day will be enjoyable, and your
radio controlled boats will stay in tip-top condition
for your next outing.
