• Never run an internal combustion engine in an enclosed space such as a
cellar, garage etc. Model motors produce lethal carbon monoxide gas just
like full-size engines.
Motors should only be run in the open air!
• Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health
under certain circumstances. Read and observe the notes and warnings
supplied by the manufacturer of these materials.
• Model fuels are volatile and highly inflammable. Keep them well away from
open flames, excessive heat, all possible sources of sparks and anything
else which could result in a fire. Do not smoke in the immediate vicinity of
fuel or fuel vapours.
• Model engines produce a lot of heat. The motor and silencer in particular
become very hot when running, and stay so for quite a while. Touching the
hot parts can give you serious burns, so take care especially when carrying
out adjustments - wear protective gloves. Hot engines can even start a fire
under certain circumstances.
• When the motor is running it expels hot toxic gases from the exhaust
together with very hot fluid combustion residues which can burn you.
• Remove all unused fuel from the fueltank and motor after every session.
• Every time you intend to operate your model check carefully that it and
everything attached to it (e.g. propeller, linkages, control surfaces etc.) is in
good condition and undamaged. If you find a fault, do not fly the model until
you have corrected it.
• Model motors are usually started with the help of an electric starter which
should be fitted with the appropriate adaptor where necessary. With fixed-
wing models an alternative is to use a "chicken stick" - a length of thick
wooden dowel with a piece of water hose pushed over it.
• Many model motors are very noisy, producing a sound level much higher
than 85 dB (A), which implies that you should wear ear defenders. Never run
a motor without the silencer fitted. Even with a silencer, model engines can
easily disturb your neighbours. Don't run motors when other people expect
peace and quiet.
• If you start your motor when the model is standing on loose or sandy
ground, the propeller will suck up sand and dust and hurl it around, and it
could easily get in your eyes and do damage. Wear protective goggles at
such times.
• Take care that the glowplug clip and the glow lead cannot get tangled in the
propeller or other rotating parts. Check the throttle linkage too.
• Take particular care when carrying the model with the motor running. Keep
well clear of the rotating parts!
• Be sure to keep an adequate supply of fuel in the tank. Don't continue to fly
the model until the tank is drained dry.
• Never fly directly towards people.
• Keep a safe distance from residential areas: at least 1.5 km "as the crow
flies". The best solution is to join a model flying club and use the approved
flying site. Always keep well clear of high-tension overhead cables.
