Residual risks
Even if the model is operated in the correct manner, and you observe all safety aspects, there is always a certain residual
risk.
For this reason it is mandatory to take out
third-party liability insurance
. If you join a club or fl ying association, insurance
is usually available or included in the annual fee. Make sure that your insurance cover is adequate (i.e. that it covers
powered model aircraft). Always keep your models and your radio control equipment in perfect order.
The following hazards may occur owing to the model’s construction and type:
l
Injury caused by the propeller: you must keep well clear of the area around the propeller from the moment that
the battery is connected. Please bear in mind that objects in front of the propeller may be sucked into it, and
objects behind the propeller may be blown away by it. The model may start moving when the propeller starts
to turn. You must therefore position the model in such a way that it cannot move towards other persons if the
motor should unexpectedly start running. When you are carrying out adjustment work involving the running
motor, you must ensure that the model is always held securely by an assistant.
l
Crash caused by pilot error: this can happen even to the best of pilots, so it is essential to fl y exclusively in a
safe environment: an approved model fl ying site and suitable insurance are basic essentials.
l
Crash caused by technical failure or unnoticed damage in transit or in the workshop. A thorough check of the
model before every fl ight is essential. However, you should also take into account at all times that material
failures can and do occur. Never fl y in a location where your model may damage or injure others.
l
Keep within the stated operating limits. Excessively violent fl ying will weaken the airframe, and may result in
sudden material failure, or may cause the model to crash during a subsequent fl ight due to “creeping” conse-
quent damage.
l
Fire hazard caused by electronic failure or malfunction. Store batteries safely, and always observe safety
notes which apply to the airborne electronic components, the battery and the battery charger. Protect all elec-
tronic equipment from damp. Ensure that the speed controller and battery are adequately cooled.
