7. General safety measures<br />
• Take out adequate third-party insurance cover.<br />
• Wherever possible join the local model flying club.<br />
7.1 At the flying site:<br />
• Never fly your model above spectators.<br />
• Do not fly models close to buildings or vehicles.<br />
• Avoid flying over agricultural workers in neighbouring fields.<br />
• Do not fly your model in the vicinity of railway lines, major roads or overhead cables.<br />
7.2 Pre-flight checks, flying safety:<br />
• Before you switch on the transmitter check carefully that no other model flyer is using the<br />
same frequency.<br />
• Carry out a range check with your RC system.<br />
• Check that the transmitter and receiver battery are fully charged.<br />
• Whenever the motor is running take particular care that no item of clothing can get caught on<br />
the throttle stick.<br />
• Do not let the model fly out of safe visual range.<br />
• There should always be a safe reserve of fuel in the tank. Never keep flying until the fuel<br />
runs out.<br />
7.3 Post-flight checks:<br />
• Clean oil residues and dirt from the model and check that all screws etc. are still tight.<br />
• Look for wear and damage to the helicopter, and replace worn parts in good time.<br />
• Ensure that the electronic components such as battery, receiver, gyro etc. are still securely<br />
fixed. Remember that rubber bands deteriorate with age and may fail.<br />
• Check the receiver aerial. Conductor fractures inside the flex are often not visible from the<br />
outside.<br />
• If the main rotor should touch the ground when spinning, replace the blades. Internal blade<br />
damage may not be visible from the outside.<br />
• Never carry the model by the tail boom: too firm a grip will easily deform the tail rotor<br />
pushrod.<br />
