ler. 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 al-
ways 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 in-
structions 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 oppo-
site 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:
Move the rudder stick to the right, and the rudder should deflect to the right.
Pull the elevator stick back towards you, and the elevators must deflect up.
Move the transmitter controls smoothly at all times; don’t jerk the sticks about
abruptly when the model is in the air.
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 work care-
lessly or irresponsibly. If you take reasonable care, model flying is a highly
creative, instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pastime.
Notes on building and flying the CLUB STAR II
Before you start construction:
When you are buying a radio control system it is important to ensure that the trans-
mitter and receiving system are designed for use with
model aircraft
, and are ap-
proved by your national Post Office approvals authority. All RC units should possess
an FTZ series approval number.
Please remember that other radio systems and radio-frequency apparatus are also
permitted to operate in the frequency ranges used by model radio control equipment,
and there is no guarantee that your system will not suffer interference caused by
such apparatus.
