or flight training school. Your local model shop and the specialist magazines are
excellent sources of information. If at all possible, it is always best to join a club
and fly at the approved model flying site.
You alone are responsible for the safe operation of your radio-controlled model.
If you have any questions regarding the safe operation of your RC model
aeroplane, please turn to your local model shop in the first instance, as the staff
will be pleased to help you.
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, operating a model aircraft under the
influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any circumstances.
If there are passers-by or spectators at your flying site, make sure that they are
aware of the dangers inherent in your activity before you start the motor, and
insist that they keep a safe distance away (at least 5 m behind the rotational plane
of the propeller).
Always keep a safe distance away from people and objects when flying; never fly
low over people’s heads, and never fly 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 and material characteristics, weakened glued joints
and other unwanted effects.
All model flyers should behave in a way that minimises the danger to people and
property. Never act in any manner which will disturb other flyers and jeopardise
safe, orderly flying at the site.
Never operate your model aircraft close to high-tension overhead cables,
industrial sites, residential areas, public roads, squares, school playgrounds,
public parks or sports grounds etc.
Don’t ignore our warnings. They refer to materials and situations which, if
ignored, can result in fatal injury or permanent damage.
Propellers and other rotating parts which are powered by a motor constitute a
permanent hazard and represent a real risk of injury. Don’t touch them with any
part of your body. For example, a propeller spinning at high speed can easily cut
your finger badly.
Keep well clear of the rotational plane of the propeller or rotor. You never know
when some part may come loose and fly off at high speed, hitting you or anybody
else in the vicinity. Never touch the revolving propeller with any object.
Ensure that it is impossible for any object to stall or block the propeller or rotor.
