The following points are important and must be observed at all times:
•
Before you fly the model, check that the radio control system is working
reliably, and that all connections are secure.
•
The batteries must be charged and the range of the radio control system must
be checked before you operate the model. In particular, the radio control
system batteries must be charged before each session and checked before
every flight.
•
Ensure that the channel you intend to use is not already in use by other
modellers. Never fly the model if you are not certain that your channel is free.
•
Read and observe the instructions and recommendations provided by the
manufacturer of your radio control system and accessory components.
•
Ensure that the servos are not mechanically obstructed at any point in their
travel.
•
Dry cells and rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited.
•
Remove all batteries from the model prior to transporting and storing it.
•
Do not subject the model to dirty or cold conditions, or high levels of humidity
or heat.
•
Secure the model and your RC equipment carefully when transporting them.
They may be seriously damaged if they are free to slide about.
Care and maintenance
•
Clean the model carefully after every flight, and remove any dirt from the
propeller. Clean the aeroplane and the RC components using suitable
cleaning agents only. Ask your model shop for information if you are not sure.
•
If the model is not to be operated for a considerable time it is important to
clean and re-lubricate all the moving parts.
Notes on building the model
•
Before you start building the aircraft it is essential to study the plan and read
right through the instructions. Please bear in mind the dangers inherent in the
handling of tools.
•
When preparing wiring, be sure to use cable capable of carrying the currents
likely to flow when the model is flying.
•
Remove all traces of grease from the joint surfaces of components which are
to be glued. A good method is to sand lightly before wiping with a non-greasy
liquid detergent solution. The same applies to surfaces which are to be
painted, otherwise the paint will not adhere permanently. Before gluing any
GRP parts, and GRP fuselages in particular, the joint surfaces must be
sanded thoroughly with fine-grit abrasive paper before de-greasing with a
solvent such as acetone. This is the only method of obtaining durable glued
joints involving GRP parts.
