SAFETY
RIC modeling is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding
hobbies available today. The rewards and satisfaction from RIC
are only there if safety is on the RICer's mind whenever he is
operating his equipment.
You
must keep in mind at all times
that you are responsible for the safety of not only yourself but
those spectators or other modelers that are near you whenever
you operate your RIC model. This is not a responsibility that
should be taken lightly.
Though model car and boat operation is not considered as
potentially dangerous as model airplanes, both are now capable
of attaining speeds fast enough
to
damage themselves and
to
cause injury
to
anything or anybody they may happen
to
come
in contact with at high speeds.
The instructions and
installation guidelines presented in this
manual should
be
followed at
an
times. Deviating from the
instructions could create an unsafe condition and cause your
model to not respond properly
to
your commands. If you are
new
to
the RIC hobby,
it
is best to ask advice of
an
experienced
modeler who can check your radio
installation.
The rules for radio control model operation and competition and
the safety standards
lor their operation are carefully laid down
by
national and in some cases, international organizations. They
also sponsor and manage
all meets and contests; all local clubs
belong to these national associations. They, both the local and
national
clubs, are your best source of technical and competi·
lion information. Depending
on
your particular modeling in·
terests,
we
suggest that you contact one of the groups listed,
who will in turn direct you
to
the nearest club.
