Be sure to carry out a range check before flying the model for
the first time.
Charge up the transmitter and flight pack fully, following the
instructions supplied with them and the charger. Before you
switch on the transmitter check carefully that "your" channel
is not already in use. A friend should walk away from you
carrying the transmitter, with the aerial fitted but fully collapsed.
Ask him to operate one control as he walks away, while you
watch the servos carefully: the one not controlled should stay
motionless up to a range of about 80 m, and the controlled
one should follow the transmitter commands without any
delay. This check only works properly if there is no interference
on the radio band, and if no other radio control transmitters
are switched on - even if they are on other channels. Repeat
the check with the motors running; the effective range should
only be slightly less, if at all.
If you are not sure that everything is working correctly, don't fly
the model! Send the whole system to the manufacturer for
checking.
The first flight
Don't attempt to test-glide the model!
The model should be hand-launched, always directly into
any wind. If you are a beginner to flying, we recommend that
you ask an experienced model pilot to help you at first.
When the model has reached a safe altitude adjust the trim
sliders on the transmitter so that it flies straight ahead "hands
off".
At an adequate altitude check how the model responds when
the motors are switched off. Carry out a simulated landing
approach at height so that you are prepared for the model's
handling when the flight pack runs down.
In the initial phase don't attempt to fly tight turns at low altitude,
especially on the landing approach. It is always better to land
safely even if it means having to walk some way to retrieve
the model, than to risk a crash by landing at your feet.
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 rechargeable batteries you are using. 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, as it's in all our interests. 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.
We - the MULTIPLEX team - hope you have many hours of
pleasure building and flying your new model.
