SAFETY PRECAUTIONS<br />

General caution<br />

Radio controlled models, especially<br />

aircraft models are not toys, and their<br />

operation has to be learned step by step.<br />

Children less than 14 years of age should<br />

only fly the model under the supervision of<br />

an adult.<br />

Although the <strong>Skydreamer</strong> has a<br />

comparatively low weight it reaches high<br />

speed and in the case of a collision with a<br />

person or object can cause injury or<br />

damage. Choose a sufficiently open &<br />

large flight area where there are no people<br />

or animals; it should be free of obstacles<br />

and far enough away from any road or<br />

traffic. Flying a model aircraft within the<br />

vicinity of an airport is forbidden.<br />

Model aircraft clubs offer a novice the<br />

opportunity to use their facilities subject to<br />

the appropriate insurance being held.<br />

Before you start, make sure that your<br />

model is properly assembled, all systems<br />

function correctly and that it has a 100%<br />

integrity following a repair.<br />

Before starting<br />

Check all attachments, screws and plug-in<br />

connections as well as joints in the<br />

operating rods. Scrutinise the complete<br />

structure of the model and the propeller,<br />

for any cracks or damage. Should any<br />

defects be found, postpone the flight until<br />

the defective part is repaired or replaced.<br />

A damaged propeller or impeller has to be<br />

replaced and must not be repaired.<br />

The aircraft battery must be fully charged<br />

before every flight, the batteries of the<br />

transmitter must have sufficient power as<br />

indicated by the battery voltage display.<br />

Fully extend the transmitter antenna and<br />

ensure that nobody else is operating a<br />

model on an identical frequency.<br />

1. Always switch on the transmitter first<br />

to avoid any uncontrolled reaction of<br />

the receiver to a foreign radio<br />

impulse. The throttle lever on the<br />

transmitter has to be in the "OFF"<br />

position when switching on.<br />

2. Next, connect the flight battery and<br />

thereby the receiver is switched on.<br />

3. Check all rudders and ensure that<br />

they are in a neutral position.<br />

4. Make sure that all servos respond<br />

correctly to the transmitter signals.<br />

Safety during flying<br />

Watch your model constantly and do not<br />

become distracted.<br />

Avoid propeller rotation as soon as the<br />

battery is connected.<br />

Never fly on a windy day or during rain or<br />

thunder.<br />

Keep your plane away from high voltage<br />

cables or radio masts.<br />

Even a model in perfect condition may<br />

show sudden unexpected behaviour<br />

caused by interference; always be ready<br />

to make steering adjustments.<br />

Never fly towards people, animals or<br />

across public roads.<br />

Land immediately, should you notice a<br />

reduced climbing ability, due to a low<br />

powered aircraft battery, or if the power<br />

light on the transmitter starts flashing.<br />

To end operation, disconnect the receiver<br />

first and then switch off the transmitter.<br />

Always disconnect the aircraft battery and<br />

receiver / speed controller immediately<br />

after landing.<br />

When you have finished flying, remove the<br />

battery from your model.<br />
