essential to be careful and painstaking at all stages of building and operating
your model. Nobody would climb into a full-size light aircraft and try to fly it
without completing a course of training first. Model flying is a skill which has to
be learned in just the same way. We suggest that you ask for help from an
experienced model flyer, or join a model club or flight training school. Your
local model shop and the specialist magazines are an excellent source of
information.
It is fundamentally essential to set the Centre of Gravity (CG) and control
surface travels correctly. Adjust the model until they are exactly correct.
• Radio control system: satisfy yourself that your frequency is vacant before
you switch on. Check your RC system regularly, as its components
eventually wear and need to be replaced or repaired. Radio interference
caused by unknown sources can occur at any time without warning. If this
should happen, your model will be uncontrollable and completely
unpredictable. Never leave your radio control system unguarded, as other
people might pick it up and try to use it. Your RC system can only work
reliably if the batteries are kept fully charged.
Don't ignore our warnings. They refer to circumstances and situations which, if
ignored, can result in fatal injury or permanent damage.
You alone are responsible for the safe operation of your radio-controlled model
and motor.
If you have any questions regarding the safe operation of your RC model
aircraft, please turn to your local model shop in the first instance as the staff
will be pleased to help you.
• Propellers and other rotating parts which are powered by a motor represent
a permanent hazard, and present a real risk of injury. Don't touch them with
any part of your body. For example, a propeller spinning at high speed can
easily slice off a finger.
• Keep well clear of the rotational plane of the propeller. You never know
when some part may come loose and fly off at high speed, hitting you or
anybody else in the vicinity. Never touch the revolving propeller with any
object.
• Take care with loose clothing such as scarves, loose shirts etc. Flapping
cloth can easily be sucked into the area of the propeller and then get
tangled in the blades. This is extremely dangerous.
• If there are passers-by or spectators at your flying site, make sure that they
are aware of the dangers inherent in your activity, and insist that they keep
a safe distance away (at least 5 m).
• Radio-controlled models should only be flown in "normal" weather
conditions, i.e. a temperature range of -5° to +35° C. More extreme
temperatures can lead to changes in battery capacity, material
characteristics and other unwanted effects.
• Model fuels are toxic; do not allow them to come into contact with your eyes
or mouth. Fuel should always be stored in clearly marked containers, out of
the reach of children.
