Multiplex MERLIN Notice De Construction page 26

(around 50 to 100 m) about ten times from a single battery charge,
whilst at the slope you can use the motor to get you "back home"
if the dreaded downdraft appears (downdraft: the opposite of a
thermal, forcing you to land down in the valley when the lift fails).
Aerobatics
With the recommended power system the Merlin flies in a very
similar manner to a hot-line electric model: it has vertical climb
capability, and can carry out any aerobatic manoeuvre you can
name. As such it makes a thoroughly enjoyable model even for
the experienced flyer. It's a great model to keep with you at all
times.
14. Safety
Safety is the First Commandment when flying any model aircraft.
Third party insurance is 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 (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.
All of us in the MULTIPLEX team hope you have many hours of
pleasure building and flying your new model.
