--
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 of the
propeller - or even the whole of it - may come loose and fly off at high speed, hitting you or
anybody else in the vicinity. Never touch the revolving propeller with any object.
Ensure that it is impossible for anything to stall or block the propeller.
Take care with loose clothing such as scarves, loose shirts etc. Flapping cloth can easily be
sucked into the area of the propeller and then get tangled in the blades; this is extremely
dangerous.
If the model is standing on a loose surface with the motor running, e.g. on a sandy strip, the
propeller will suck grit or particles of dirt into the blades and hurl them around; this could easily
cause an eye injury. If you are not sure, wear protective goggles.
Every time you intend to operate your model, check carefully that it and everything attached to it
(e.g. propeller, gearbox, RC components etc.) is in good condition and undamaged. If you find a
fault, do not fly the model until you have corrected it.
Whenever you are holding the model, make sure you are standing on a stable 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 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.
Your RC system can only work reliably if the batteries are kept fully charged.
Never use batteries which are hot, faulty or damaged. At all times heed the instructions provided
by the battery manufacturer.
Before each flight check that all functions on the model aircraft are working correctly, and that the
radio control system is in good order and operating at full range.
Note that the motor control (throttle) function on the transmitter must always be moved to the OFF
position as the first stage in preparing for a flight. To avoid the danger of the electric motor
bursting into life unexpectedly, always switch on the transmitter first, and only then the receiving
system. The opposite applies at the end of a flight: always switch off the receiving system first,
and finally the transmitter.
Check that the control surfaces follow the movement of the transmitter sticks.
After each flying session remove all the batteries from the model, discharge them, and store them
in dry conditions at about +5° to +25° C, well out of the reach of children.
