Safety is of the utmost importance when ying any model aircraft. Third party insurance is mandatory. If you
join a model club or association, suitable coverage will usually be available through the organization. It is
your personal responsibility to ensure that your insurance is adequate (i.e. that its coverage includes pow-
ered model aircraft). Always y in such a way that you do not endanger yourself or others. Bear in mind that
even the best RC systems are subject to outside interference. No matter how many years of accident-free
ying you have, there is always the possibility of an unforeseen problem or error that can cause an accident.
Make it your job to keep your models and your radio control system in perfect operating condition at all
times. Check and observe the correct charging procedure for the batteries you are using.
Before every ight, check that the wing and tail panels are attached and rmly seated. Also check to
make sure that each control surface is operating correctly.
