Pre-flight checks
Before every flying session check that all the model's working systems are
functioning correctly. Switch the transmitter on and extend the aerial to full
length, then switch on the receiver. Ensure that all the control surfaces are at
centre (trims neutral), that they deflect to both sides and in the correct "sense"
(left stick = left rudder, etc.). Ask a friend to hold the model for you, and repeat
the checks with the motor running.
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.
Don't ignore our warnings. They refer to materials and situations which, if
ignored, can result in fatal injury or permanent damage.
Propellers and other rotating parts which are powered by a motor constitute a
permanent hazard and represent a real risk of injury. Don't touch them with any
part of your body. For example, a propeller spinning at high speed can easily
cut your finger badly.
Keep well clear of the rotational plane of the propeller. You never know when
some part may come loose and fly off at high speed, hitting you or anybody
else in the vicinity; this could cause serious injury. Never allow any object to
touch the revolving propeller.
Ensure that it is impossible for any object to stall or block the propeller.
Every time you intend to operate your model check carefully that it and
everything attached to it (e.g. propeller, RC components etc.) is in good
condition and undamaged. If you find a fault, do not fly the model until you
have corrected it.
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 another person might pick it up and try to use it.
Do not switch on the electric motor unless you are sure that there is nothing in
the rotational plane of the propeller. Never attempt to stop the spinning
propeller. Electric motors with the propeller attached should only be run when
firmly mounted.
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. Models must
always give way to full-size aircraft. Take-off and landing strips should be kept
free of people and other obstacles.
