ramrod25, I agree with rkramer.

I do a range test at the very spot I intend to fly at before I put my gas conversion planes into the air. With the plane secured to the runway and the engine running I will walk away from it with the radio ant. collapsed until the engine changes tone, (I don't have the failsafe feature on my radio), or until my helper signals that a flying surface is glitching. Make sure that this distance is well within your radio manufactures range.

I will then extend the ant. and walk in big circles around the plane as far away as practical, all the while running the throttle at different settings to see if I can cause a glitch of any sort. Take your time!

If all seems normal I'll fly the plane in circles close in for a while and then gradually fly farther out, all the while looking for "hits". If I notice any sort of unusual behavior in the plane I will immediatley cut power and bring it in for a landing. I would rather make a controlled dead-stick landing than watch my plane "auger in" and re-kit itself.

If something does not seem right, investigate...
