completely unpredictable. Never leave your radio control system unguarded,
as other people might pick it up and try to use it.
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. Model aircraft 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 hot, faulty or damaged batteries. It is important to observe the
instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Before every flight ensure that all functions are working correctly, and carry
out a range check.
Always switch on the transmitter first, then the receiving system. When
switching off, reverse the order: receiving system first, then the transmitter.
Check that the control surfaces work in the correct “sense”, i.e. they deflect in
the direction which corresponds to the movement of the stick.
After each session remove all the batteries from the model and store them in a
discharged state (approx. 0.9 V per cell) at a temperature of about +5° to +25°C.
They must be kept out of the reach of children.
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. Provided that
you take reasonable care, model flying is a highly creative, instructive,
enjoyable and relaxing pastime.
Notes on the use of NiMH batteries
Application
All Graupner NiMH battery packs and single cells are designed exclusively for typical
modelling applications in model aircraft, boats and cars.
Charging
1. NiMH batteries must always be charged using a suitable standard charger or fast
charger. For more information see the main Graupner FS catalogue.
2. Before charging an NiMH pack, allow it to cool down to ambient temperature, i.e.
approx. 20ºC. If necessary, use a BATTERY COOLER, Order No. 2882, to speed
up the process.
3. The battery should not be charged until just before use, as all NiMH cells have a
natural tendency to self-discharge due to their construction.
