If electrolyte escapes from a cell, take great care to avoid it getting on your skin
or in your eyes. If this should happen, rinse immediately with copious quantities
of water and seek medical assistance.
6. Never solder a wire or anything else directly to the cell case, as this may damage
the pressure valve.
7.
Warning:
Never dispose of faulty or exhausted NiMH batteries in a fire, as they may
explode. Don’t discard them in the household rubbish, as they constitute toxic
waste and require special treatment. Take them to your local toxic waste
collection point (ask your local council for details). It costs nothing to dispose of
exhausted cells properly, and helps preserve a clean environment, as most of the
materials can be recycled.
Building and flying the DISCUS 2 cT
Before you start building:
It is important to install the RC components and control linkages in the model at the
appropriate stage of construction. In most cases it is very difficult or even impossible
to fit these components at a later stage.
If you intend buying a new radio control system for your model, ensure that the
transmitter and receiver are designed for
model aircraft
use, are type-approved and
are licensed by your national Post Office authority.
The frequency bands which we use for radio control systems are shared by other
radio equipment and radio frequency apparatus. For this reason it is not possible to
guarantee that your RC system will not suffer interference in use.
For more information on this subject please enquire at your local Post Office, or ask
at your nearest model shop.
During construction
When handling adhesives and solvent-based materials it is important to observe the
safety notes and instructions supplied by the manufacturer. Many glues and solvents
are capable of causing injury and damage to materials if they are not used
competently. Take waste glue and paint to your local model shop or toxic waste
collection centre.
Note that balsa knives, pins, etc. have sharp points and edges, and should be
handled carefully to avoid injury.
Take care to keep tools, adhesives and paints out of the reach of children.
A large, unobstructed working surface is a great advantage for all types of model-
making.
If you are a relative beginner and are not sure of any process, it is always best
to ask an experienced modeller for help.
Flying the model
Never fly your DISCUS 2 cT in a nature reserve or any other protected site. Please
don’t disturb the animals and plants which live in the countryside.
Trees and bushes are the natural habitat of many birds, and also serve as nesting
sites and general protection for them.
