2. Safety

Radio controlled models are not playthings!

Safety in RC modelling is of extreme importance, and you can make the greatest

contribution to it yourself, simply by handling and using your radio control system

and model carefully, responsibly and conscientiously.

• Check all electrical and mechanical connections in the model regularly.

• Check regularly that all control surfaces work smoothly, freely, and without slop

(disconnect the linkages to check this).

• Carry out regular range checks (see 12.2. Range testing).

• Check with other pilots and the site flight line director that your channel is not

already in use. The Channel-Check module (optional accessory - see 10. Chan-

nel-Check) provides an extra level of security.

• Before launching your model extend the transmitter aerial to its full length and

check that it is in good condition and firmly secured.

• Check that the transmitter is set to the correct model memory.

• Before every flight check all the working systems as follows:

Do all the control surfaces work in the correct „sense“ relative to the stick

movements? Are the control surface travels correct? Have you set the appropri-

ate mixers for the model, and have you adjusted them correctly?

• Are the transmitter and receiver battery adequately charged, and in good, well-

maintained condition?

• Use only genuine MULTIPLEX crystals, batteries and accessories.

• Read and observe the recommendations for any components of your receiving

system which are not covered by these operating instructions.

If you are not sure of any of these points, do not launch the model! Check every-

thing again in peace and quiet, and give yourself a chance to locate and remedy the

fault. If you still cannot eliminate the problem, ask your model shop or the

MULTIPLEX customer service department for advice and assistance.
