The following items must be observed:
•
Before you fly the model, check that the radio control system is working
reliably, and that all connections are secure.
•
The batteries must be charged, and the range of the radio control system must
have been checked. In particular, the transmitter and receiver batteries must
be charged before each take-off.
•
Ensure that the channel you intend to use is not already in use. Never fly the
model if you are not certain that your channel is free.
•
Observe the instructions and information regarding your radio control system
and accessories.
•
Ensure that the servos are not mechanically obstructed in their travel.
•
Dry cells and rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited.
•
Remove all batteries before transporting and storing the model.
•
Do not subject the model to intense humidity, heat, cold, or to dirt.
•
Protect the model and RC equipment against damage or slippage during
transport.
Care and maintenance
•
Clean the model carefully after each use. Also remove any dirt from the
propeller. Clean the model and the RC components using suitable cleaning
agents only. Ask your model shop for information.
•
If the model is not to be operated for a considerable time, all the moving parts
must be cleaned and re-lubricated.
Tips on building the model
•
Before assembling the model, it is essential to read the construction diagram
and the instructions all the way through. When using tools, be aware of the
possible dangers.
•
Use only suitable cables that are adequate for the electrical currents that occur
during operation.
•
Clean residual grease from all connections that are to be glued. This can, for
example, be done through sanding and using a non-relubricating cleaning
solution. The same goes for the surfaces to be painted, in order to make sure
that the paint sticks. Before gluing parts, always roughen the corresponding
surfaces (especially for GFR fuselages) carefully with fine sandpaper and de-
grease them thoroughly, for example with acetone. Otherwise, adequate
adhesion is not assured.
