•
Never fly directly towards people.
•
Make sure to keep a safe distance from residential areas: at least 1.5 km “as
the crow flies”. It is always best to join a club and fly at the approved model
flying site. Always keep well clear of high-tension overhead cables.
•
Whenever working on the engine, make sure that you have secure footing,
and always hold the model securely.
•
When starting and landing, the take-off and landing strips should be kept
free of unauthorised people and movable obstacles.
•
The model aircraft must be kept constantly in sight during the entire flight. It
must always give way to manned aircraft.
•
Never operate your aircraft from public roads, squares, squares, school
playgrounds, parks, or sports grounds, et cetera, and ensure that you are
always in full control of the model.
•
To ensure that you can stop your engine at any time, the throttle must be
adjusted so that the carburettor barrel closes completely when the throttle
stick and trim are moved to their end points. If this does not work, pinch the
fuel line between your fingers or pull off the connecting tube to the tank.
Never try to stop the engine by grasping the flywheel, propeller, or spinner!
•
All model fliers should take care to ensure that the public safety, especially
that of people and property, as well as orderly flying operations, are not
endangered or disturbed.
•
In legal terms, model aircraft are classed as aircraft and as such are subject
to legal regulations and restrictions that must be observed.
•
The brochure “Modellflugrecht, Paragrafen and mehr” (Model Aviation Law,
Legal Requirements and more), Order No. 8034.02 contains a summary of all
these rules, and your local model shop should also have a copy which you
can read. For models with internal combustion engines, it is necessary, for
example, to have the landowner's permission for flights, and insurance is
also mandatory. There are also regulations concerning your radio control
system that must be observed.
•
These notes are intended only to make you aware of the many dangers and
hazards that can arise if you work carelessly or irresponsibly. If you take
reasonable care, model flying is a highly creative, instructive, and relaxing
pastime.
•
The extensively pre-fabricated model can be built in a very short time.
However, the remaining steps are important and have to be carried out with
care. Doing this work properly determines whether the model will have the
prescribed rigidity and flight characteristics; so please work slowly and
precisely!
