approach at low altitude. It is always better to land safely at some
distance from you, than to force the model back to your feet and
risk a heavy landing.
28. Safety
Safety is the First Commandment when flying any model aircraft.
Third party insurance should be considered a basic essential. If
you join a model club suitable cover will usually be available
through the organisation. It is your personal responsibility to
ensure that your insurance is adequate (i.e. that its cover includes
powered model aircraft).
Make it your job to keep your models and your radio control system
in perfect order at all times. Check the correct charging procedure
for the batteries you are using. Make use of all sensible safety
systems and precautions which are advised for your system. An
excellent source of practical accessories is the MULTIPLEX main
catalogue, as our products are designed and manufactured
exclusively by practising modellers for other practising modellers.

Always fly with a responsible attitude. You may think that flying low
over other people's heads is proof of your piloting skill; others
know better: the real expert does not need to prove himself in such
childish ways. Let other pilots know that this is what you think too.
Always fly in such a way that you do not endanger yourself or
others. Bear in mind that even the best RC system in the world is
subject to outside interference. No matter how many years of
accident-free flying you have under your belt, you have no idea
what will happen in the next minute.
We - the MULTIPLEX team - hope you have many hours of pleasure
building and flying your new model.
