31. Aerial photography
If you wish to take pictures from the model, remove the
loading bay doors so that they do not restrict the camera's
viewing angle. The camera is then secured in the loading
bay and the shutter fired with an extra servo. With a little
practice, and in good weather conditions (clear air for a good
view) you can take beautiful aerial pictures, typically of your
flying site and the surrounding area.
32. If the landing is not quite perfect ...
If the model suffers a really hard landing it may well be
damaged, and one of the tail panels or even a wing may
break off entirely. Don't panic: five-minute epoxy can be used
on the field to get you back in the air quickly.
Apply a little 5-minute epoxy to the broken surfaces, push
the parts together and hold for about five minutes. Leave the
glue to cure for a further 10 minutes - and you're ready to fly
again.
Don't use too much epoxy; excess glue doesn't make the
joint stronger, and it usually looks awful.
If you have time to repair the joint at your leisure, it is better
to use white glue to re-join the broken parts. White glue makes
an almost invisible joint, but you must leave the glue overnight
to harden, and this means jigging or packing the model up to
prevent the parts slipping out of alignment.

33. Safety
Safety is the First Commandment when flying any model
aircraft. Third party insurance should be considered a basic
essential. If you join a model club, suitable cover will usually
be available through the organisation. It is your personal
responsibility to ensure that your insurance is adequate (i.e.
that it covers powered model aircraft).
Make it your job to keep your models and your radio control
system in perfect order at all times. Check the correct
charging procedure for the NC batteries used in your RC
set. Make use of all sensible safety systems and precautions
which are advised for your system. An excellent source of
practical accessories is the MULTIPLEX main catalogue, as
our products are designed and manufactured exclusively by
practising modellers for other practising modellers.
Always fly with a responsible attitude. You may think that
flying low over other people's heads is proof of your piloting
skill; others know better. The real expert does not need to
prove himself in such childish ways. Let other pilots know
that this is what you think too. Always fly in such a way that
you do not endanger yourself or others. Bear in mind that
even the best RC system in the world is subject to outside
interference. No matter how many years of accident-free flying
you have under your belt, you have no idea what will happen
in the next minute.
