Assembly (and repair) instructions
When using solvent-based glues be sure to work in a well-ventilated room.
Take waste adhesives and paints to your nearest toxic waste collection point.
An unobstructed work area of generous size is very helpful for all types of modelling
activity.
Do not fly the model outdoors in windy conditions
Pre-flight checks
If there are several modellers at your flying site, ask them at the outset which
channels they are using, and ensure that you are the only one on "your" frequency
before you switch your own transmitter on. "Channel clashes" - two transmitters on
the same frequency at the same time - generate interference, and usually cause one
or both models to crash.
Before each flight check that all parts are properly fixed.
The model must always be held in such a way that the propellers are free to
rotate, as they are capable of inflicting injury.
Always switch the transmitter on first, and only then the receiver.
Always switch the receiver off first, and only then the transmitter.
If you neglect this sequence, i.e. if at any time the receiver is switched on when
the transmitter is at "OFF", the receiver will be completely open to other
transmitters, interference etc., and this could cause the motor to burst into life
unexpectedly.
Before every flight ensure that the radio control system is working properly and has
adequate range. This means checking that the transmitter controls the model's
functions at a reasonable range on the ground.
Batteries
Never use faulty or damaged cells or batteries consisting of different cell types,
mixtures of old and new cells, or cells of different makes.
Exhausted and faulty dry or rechargeable cells must not be discarded in the
household waste. Take old batteries back to your model shop, or to your nearest
specialist toxic waste disposal centre.
Gluing different materials
The following table lists a few typical glued joints and the recommended adhesives. It
is only a guide, and does not claim to be comprehensive.
