In the interests of your own safety and that of others, the model must only be operated by experienced, disciplined
modellers with sufficient specialised expertise, and it must be serviced and maintained regularly and competently. If
you have no experience in building and operating models of this type, it is vital that you enlist the help and advice
of an experienced jet modeller if you are to avoid potentially catastrophic errors; this applies in particular to the jet
engine itself, which should only be run when an experienced operator is present. If you have a model flying group
or club in your area where training and support are available, we strongly recommend that you join that group. With
this model any defect or deficiency in its construction or operation can result in serious personal injury or even
death.
CAUTION!
Before you operate this model aircraft, you must determine the local by-laws and regulations which apply to you. In
legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to legal regulations and restrictions which
must be observed. Contact your Rep regarding the AMA Regulations for turbine powered aircraft.
WARNING!
It is your responsibility to protect others from possible injury. Keep a safe distance from residential areas in order to
protect people, animals and buildings: at least 1.5 km “as the crow flies”.
Keep well clear of high-tension overhead cables. Don’t fly the model in
poor weather
, especially when there is
low
cloud cover
or
fog
. Don’t fly the model directly
into the sun
, as you could easily lose visual contact with the
model. To avoid collisions, always keep well clear of full-size aircraft, whether manned or unmanned. It is your
responsibility to land immediately if a real aircraft approaches.
When operating a jet engine you must keep people and animals in a safe distance from it. This means:
In front of the engine
4.5 m
To the side of the engine 7.5 m
Behind the engine
4.5 m
WARNING!
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and mental faculties. Operating a model
aircraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any circumstances. This applies both to the
operator and to his or her assistants.
WARNING!
Radio-controlled model aircraft may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer. They must never
be used as machines for carrying people or goods, nor for any other purpose except as model aircraft. Misuse of this
model may result in serious personal injury or even death.
WARNING!
It is important not to make any modifications of any kind to the model. If you deviate from the instructions, perhaps
by using different components or materials, or by making changes to the structural design, you may seriously affect
the ability of the model aircraft to function correctly. Please resist the temptation, and build the model exactly as
directed.
WARNING!
Before you fly the model it is essential to check the Centre of Gravity and the control surface travels, as stated in
these instructions. These settings are very important, and our recommended values must be observed. Before you
fly the model, carry out a careful check of all the working functions and all the control surfaces. Check the range of
the radio control system with the transmitter aerial collapsed. If the check is satisfactory, repeat it with the engine
running, with an assistant holding the model securely. Read the instructions supplied with your radio control
system, and make sure that you observe the manufacturer’s recommendations.
