Caution:
this model is not a toy!
If you are a beginner to this type of powered model, please ask an experienced
model flyer for help and support. If you attempt to operate the aeroplane without
knowing what you are doing, you could easily injure yourself or somebody else.
Please keep your safety and well-being in mind at all times.
Important: before you start construction
Even if you have already built a large number of RC models please read right through
these instructions and check that all the kit components are actually present. We
have taken great trouble to keep construction as simple as possible, without making
any compromises in the area of safety.
Check that the radio control system works correctly and at full range before every
flight: switch on the transmitter and the receiving system, and extend the transmitter
aerial to its full length; walk away from the model, and check that all the control
surfaces work smoothly and immediately at an appropriate distance; check also that
they deflect in the correct “sense” in relation to the stick movements.
If you are a relative beginner to this type of model flying, we recommend that you
enlist an experienced model pilot to help you check and test-fly the model.
RC system components and the control surface linkages must be installed at the
appropriate stage of construction, as it may be very difficult or even impossible to fit
them later.
When you are buying a radio control system it is important to ensure that the
transmitter and receiving system are designed for use with
model aircraft
, and are
approved by your national Post Office approvals authority. All RC units should
possess an FTZ series approval number.
Please remember that other radio systems and radio-frequency apparatus are also
permitted to operate in the frequency ranges used by model radio control equipment,
and there is no guarantee that your system will not suffer interference caused by
such apparatus.
Depending on where you operate the model, you may need to purchase a licence to
operate a radio control system for model aircraft on the approved channels in the 35
MHz band.
If you are not sure whether this applies to you, contact your nearest Post Office
Telecommunications office. Your local model shop will also have this information.
Note regarding the film covering
Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the film covering due to major fluctuations
in weather conditions (temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases you may even find a
slight warp in a component. These minor faults are in the nature of film-covered built-
up wooden structures, and can easily be corrected using a heat gun, as commonly
used for modelling.
