Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health
under certain circumstances. Read and observe the notes and warnings
supplied by the manufacturer of these materials.
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and
mental faculties. As with car driving, flying a model aircraft under the influence
of alcohol or drugs is highly dangerous and not permissible under any
circumstances.
Make sure that all passers-by and onlookers are aware of the hazards involved
in the operation of your model.
Always keep a safe distance between your model and other people or objects.
Never fly low over people or 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, material characteristics, the strength of glued
joints and other unwanted effects.
All model flyers should behave in a way which minimises the danger to people
and property. Never act in any manner which will disturb other pilots, or have
an adverse effect on safe, orderly flying at the site.
Don’t operate your model in the vicinity of overhead power cables, industrial
sites, residential areas, public roads, squares, school playgrounds, public
parks or sports fields etc.
Don’t disregard our warnings. They refer to hazardous materials and pro-

etc. Everything must be properly located and firmly secured. Check for
possible damage, and do not fly your model unless you are confident that
everything is in perfect order.
Whenever you are holding the model, make sure that you are standing on a
safe surface and cannot slip. Wear high-grip shoes, 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. If this should happen, your model will be uncontrollable and
completely unpredictable. Never leave your radio control system unguarded,
as other people might pick it up and try to use it.
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. Model aircraft must
