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
carelessly or irresponsibly. If you take reasonable care, model flying is a highly
creative, instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pastime.
Notes on building and flying the WILGA 2000
Before you start construction:
If you are buying a radio control system for your new model, ensure that the
transmitter and receiving system are expressly stated to be suitable for use in
model
aircraft
, and bear the appropriate approval stickers.
The frequency bands used for the radio control of models are also employed by other
radio transmitting and RF equipment. For this reason it is not possible to be
completely sure that no interference will occur when you are flying your model.
No licence fee is payable for using approved RC equipment to control a model
aircraft on the appropriate channels in the 35 MHz band.
For more information on this subject please contact your local telecommunications
centre, or ask at your nearest model shop.
Instructions and warnings relating to the use of LiPo batteries
Please read the instruction sheet included with every battery pack for general
information on the use of LiPo batteries.
General warnings
These batteries must not come into contact with fire or ashes.
The cells must not be allowed to contact fluids such as fresh water, salt water or
drinks. Avoid contact with liquids of all types.
Individual cells and batteries are by no means toys, and must never be allowed to get
into the hands of children. Store cells and batteries well out of the reach of children.
Batteries must not be left within reach or in the vicinity of babies or toddlers. If a child
should swallow a battery, call for a doctor or emergency medical assistance without
delay.
Batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven, nor subjected to pressure: the
results may be smoke and fire or worse.
Never attempt to dismantle Li-Po cells. Taking a battery apart can cause internal
short-circuits, which could result in gassing, fire, explosion and other problems.
The electrolyte and electrolytic fumes are injurious to health. Avoid direct contact with
the electrolyte at all costs. If the material gets in your eyes, on your skin or other part
of your body, it is essential to wash the affected area immediately with copious
amounts of clean water. Consult a doctor as soon as possible thereafter.
Batteries installed in a device should always be removed from the apparatus if it is
not to be used again in the immediate future. Always switch off such devices after
use to avoid discharging the cells to a dangerous level. Recharge the batteries in
good time. Store batteries on a non-flammable, heat-resistant and non-conductive
