Dangers and hazards
Model flying, especially under radio control, is a fascinating pastime.
When you are operating your model we recommend that you make a point of observing the
following basic rules, to avoid annoying or injuring other model flyers and anybody else.
When you are operating a model aircraft you bear sole responsibility for your behaviour and for
any consequences of your behaviour. For this reason it is essential that you take out a private
third-party insurance policy or a special model flying policy. Ask your local model shop for details,
or contact your regional or national model flying association (BMFA in U.K.). You may need to
register your radio control system (varies from country to country) before using it. Once again, your
local model shop will gladly give you information on this.
Build your model carefully, checking every procedure, and be sure that everything is safely
secured. Check that the entire model is safe to fly before each flight.
Only fly your model at an approved location, e.g. a model flying site, at which your activity will not
cause a nuisance or hazard to other modellers or anybody else in the vicinity. Gliders and electric-
powered models are far less critical in these respects.
Glow motors should only be operated with the recommended silencer fitted. Read the safety
recommendations supplied by the motor manufacturer.
Never fly directly towards or over spectators, and don’t be tempted to carry out flashy, high-risk
manoeuvres.
Don’t switch on your transmitter until you have ensured that no other radio control system in the
vicinity is operating on the same frequency.
We hope you have many hours of fun and pleasure with your Pober Pixie. Happy landings!
