influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any circumstances.
If there are passers-by or spectators at your flying site, make sure that they are
aware of the dangers inherent in your activity before you start the motor, and
insist that they keep a safe distance away (at least 5 m behind the rotational plane
of the propeller).
Always keep a safe distance away from people and objects when flying; never fly
low over people’s heads, and never fly directly towards them.
Radio-controlled models should only be flown in “normal” weather conditions, i.e.
a temperature range of -5° to +35° C. More extreme temperatures can lead to
changes in battery capacity and material characteristics, weakened glued joints
and other unwanted effects.
All model flyers should behave in a way that minimises the danger to people and
property. Never act in any manner which will disturb other flyers and jeopardise
safe, orderly flying at the site.
Never operate your model aircraft close to high-tension overhead cables,
industrial sites, residential areas, public roads, squares, school playgrounds,
public parks or sports grounds etc.
Don’t ignore our warnings. They refer to materials and situations which, if
ignored, can result in fatal injury or permanent damage.
Propellers and other rotating parts which are powered by a motor constitute a
permanent hazard and represent a real risk of injury. Don’t touch them with any
part of your body. For example, a propeller spinning at high speed can easily cut
your finger badly.
Keep well clear of the rotational plane of the propeller. You never know when
some part may come loose and fly off at high speed, hitting you or anybody else
in the vicinity. Never touch the revolving propeller with any object.
Ensure that it is impossible for any object to stall or block the propeller.
Take care with loose clothing such as scarves, loose shirts etc. Flapping cloth
can easily be sucked into the area of the propeller and then get tangled in the
blades; this is extremely dangerous.
Every time you intend to operate your model check carefully that it and everything
attached to it (e.g. propeller, gearbox, RC components etc.) is in good condition
and undamaged. If you find a fault, do not fly the model until you have corrected
it.
Whenever you are holding the model make sure that you are standing on a stable
surface and cannot slip. Wear shoes with high-grip soles, such as trainers.
Satisfy yourself that your frequency is vacant before you switch on. Radio
interference caused by unknown sources can occur at any time without warning.
