HITEC FunJet - Manual (Page 12)

12
Allow the aeroplane to climb to a safe altitude, then adjust
the trims on the transmitter so that the model flies straight
and level without any assistance from you.
While the FunJet is still at a safe altitude, switch off the
motor and try out the controls on the glide. Carry out a “dry
run” of the landing approach at a safe height so that you
are prepared for the real landing when the battery gives up
the ghost.
Don’t try any tight turns at first, and especially not on the
landing approach at low altitude.
It is always better to land safely at some distance from
you, than to force the model back to your feet and risk a
heavy landing.
23. 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 its cover includes 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 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. 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.
All of us in the MULTIPLEX team hope you have many
hours of pleasure building and flying your new model.
