press are also good sources of information. The best course is always to join a club
and fly at the approved model flying site.
You alone are responsible for the safe operation of your model aircraft. If you have
any questions regarding the safe operation of your model aircraft, please turn to
your local model shop in the first instance where the staff will be pleased to help
you.
Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health under
certain circumstances. Read and observe the notes and warnings supplied by the
manufacturer of these materials.
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and mental
faculties. As with car driving, operating a model aircraft under the influence of
alcohol or drugs is extremely dangerous and not permissible under any
circumstances.
Make sure that all passers-by and onlookers are aware of the hazards involved in the
operation of your model, and remind them to keep a reasonable distance away.
Keep a safe distance between your model and other people or objects. Never fly low
over people or directly towards them.
All model flyers should behave in such a way that the danger to people and property
is minimised. Never act in any way which will disturb other flyers or prevent safe,
orderly flying at the site.
Never 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 flying the model, check carefully that all the moving parts are
working correctly. 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 on a safe surface and
cannot slip. Wear shoes with high-grip soles, such as trainers.
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. If you take reasonable care model
flying is a highly creative, instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pastime.

If you intend to install a DT timer, Order No. 153, please note that it must be fitted during
construction, as it would be very difficult or even impossible to install it later.
