If you have any questions regarding the safe operation of your RC model
•
aeroplane, please turn to your local model shop in the first instance, where the
staff will be pleased to help you.
Remote-controlled model aircraft are extremely demanding and potentially
•
dangerous objects, and require a high level of expertise, skill and responsibility
from the operator.
In legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to legal
•
regulations and restrictions which must be observed at all times. Our brochure
"Modellflugrecht, Paragrafen und mehr" (Model Aviation Law, Legal
Requirements and more) is available under Order No. 8034.02, and contains a
summary of all these rules. Your local model shop should have a copy which you
can read. There are also Post Office regulations concerning your radio control
system, and these must be observed. Refer to your RC system instructions for
more details.
A radio-controlled model aircraft can only work properly and fulfil your
•
expectations if it is built very carefully and in accordance with the building
instructions. If you wish to avoid injuring people and damaging property it is
essential to be careful and painstaking at all stages of building and operating
your model. Nobody would climb into a full-size aircraft and try to fly it without
undergoing training beforehand, and model flying is a skill which also needs to be
learned. We suggest that you ask an experienced model flyer for help, or join a
model club or flight training school. Your local model shop and the specialist
magazines are excellent sources of information. If at all possible, it is always best
to join a club and fly at the approved model flying site.
If you are flying a model aircraft for the first time we strongly recommend that you
•
ask an experienced modeller to check the aeroplane first and be ready to help
you during the first few flights.
Always read and observe the safety notes supplied with the batteries and the
•
charger when using and charging LiPo batteries.
If there are passers-by or spectators at your flying site, make sure that they are
•
aware of the dangers inherent in your activity before you start the motor, and
insist that they keep a safe distance away - at least 5 m behind the propeller
plane.
Always keep a safe distance away from people and objects when flying; never fly
•
low over people's heads, and never fly directly towards them.
Never fly your model in protected sites, animal or plant sanctuaries or sites of
•
special scientific interest (SSSIs).
The batteries must be given a full charge before the model is flown, and it is
•
important to check the effective range of the remote control system. It is
particularly important that the transmitter should be fully charged before each
flying session.
Ensure that the frequency you intend to use is not already in use by other
•
modellers. Never fly your model if you are not certain that your channel is free. If
there are other modellers in the vicinity, ask them specifically which channels
they are using.
Always disconnect the power system from the flight battery before carrying out
•
any work on these components.
