Don't operate your model in the vicinity of overhead power cables, industrial sites,
residential areas, public roads, squares, school playgrounds, public parks or sports
fields etc.
Don't ignore our warnings. They refer to hazardous materials and processes which,
if ignored, can result in fatal injury or serious damage to property.
Every time you intend to fly the model, check carefully that all parts connected to it
are working correctly, including RC components, control surface horns etc.
Everything must be properly located and firmly secured. Check for possible
damage, and do not fly your model unless you are confident that everything is in
perfect order.
Whenever you are holding the model, make sure that you are standing on a safe
surface and cannot slip. Wear shoes with high-grip soles, such as trainers.
Satisfy yourself that your frequency is vacant before you switch on. 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.
If you are to fly your model safely and avoid problems, it is essential that you are
aware of its position and attitude throughout each flight - so don't let it fly too far
away! If you detect a control problem or interference during a flight, immediately
land the model to prevent a potential accident. Model aircraft must always give way
to full-size aircraft. Take-off and landing strips should be kept free of people and
other obstacles.
Your RC system can only work reliably if the batteries are kept fully charged.
Never use hot, faulty or damaged batteries. It is important to observe the
instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Before every flight ensure that all functions are working correctly, and carry out a
range check.
Always switch on the transmitter first, then the receiving system. When switching
off, reverse the order: receiving system first, then the transmitter.
Check that the control surfaces work in the correct "sense", i.e. they deflect in the
direction which corresponds to the movement of the stick.
After each session remove all the batteries from the model and store them in a
discharged state (approx. 0.9 V per cell) at a temperature of about +5° to +25° C.
They must be kept out of the reach of children.
Please don't misunderstand the purpose of these notes. We only want to make you
aware of the many dangers and hazards which can arise if you lack knowledge and
experience, or work carelessly or irresponsibly. Provided that you take reasonable
care, model flying is a highly creative, instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pastime.
