Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely necessary. If the air or the iron
is too hot, the film may melt and holes may be formed.
This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time. However, the
work which you have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The model
will only be strong and fly well if you complete your tasks competently - so please
work slowly and accurately.
When self-tapping screws have to be screwed into wood, apply a little white
glue to prevent them working loose: just squirt white glue into the hole and fit
the screw.
Safety notes and warnings relating to model aircraft
powered by glowplug engines
•
Be sure to read right through the instructions covering assembly and
operation of your model before you attempt to operate it for the first time.
•
These safety notes are an integral part of the instructions. Please keep
them and the operating instructions in a safe place. If you ever dispose of
the model be sure to pass them on to the new owner.
•
Powered model aircraft are very demanding and potentially dangerous
machines, and call for a high level of technical knowledge and skill from
the operator, together with a responsible attitude.
•
Powered model aircraft are not suitable for young persons under eighteen
years of age.
•
Young people should only be permitted to operate this model under the
instruction and supervision of an adult who is aware of the hazards
involved in this activity.
•
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily
and mental faculties. As with car driving, operating a model aircraft under
the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any
circumstances.
•
Radio-controlled model aircraft may only be employed for the purpose
intended by the manufacturer. They must never be used as man-carrying
machines. Any other use of this model is prohibited.
•
A radio-controlled model aircraft can only work properly and fulfil your
expectations if it is built very carefully and in accordance with the building
instructions. Do not make any modifications of any kind to the design
features or materials. If you wish to avoid injuring people and damaging
property it is essential to be careful and painstaking at all stages of
building and operating your model. Nobody would climb into a full-size
light aircraft and try to fly it without completing a course of training first.
Model flying is a skill which has to be learned in just the same way. We
suggest that you ask for help from an experienced model flyer, or join a
model club or flight training school. Your local model shop and the
specialist magazines are excellent sources of information.
•
It is fundamentally essential to set the Centre of Gravity (C.G.) and control
surface travels correctly. Adjust the model until they are exactly correct.
•
Radio control system: satisfy yourself that your frequency is vacant before
you switch on. Check your RC system regularly as its components
