safety instructions and warnings
In the interests of your own safety and that of others, the model must only be operated by experienced,
disciplined modellerswith sufficientspecialised expertise, andit must be servicedand maintained regularly
and competently. If you have no experience in building and operating models of this type, it is vital that
you enlist the help and advice of an experienced jet modeller if you are to avoid potentially catastrophic
errors; this applies in particular to the jet engine itself, which should only be run when an experienced
operator is present. If you have a model flying group or club in your area where training and support are
available, westrongly recommend that you join that group. With this model any defect or deficiency in its
construction or operation can result in serious personal injury or even death.

It is your responsibility to protect others from possible injury. Keep a safe distance from residential areas
in order to protect people, animals and buildings: at least 1.5 km “as the crow flies”.
Keep well clear of high-tension overhead cables. Don’t fly the model in poor weather, especially when
there is lowcloud coveror fog. Don’t fly the model directly into thesun, as you could easily lose visual
contact with the model. To avoid collisions, always keep well clear of full-size aircraft, whether mannedor
unmanned. It is your responsibility to land immediately if a real aircraft approaches.
When operating a jet engine you must keep people and animals in a safe distance from it. This means:
In front of the turbine 4.5 m
To the side of the turbine 7.5 m
Behind the turbine 4.5 m
WARNING!
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and mental faculties. Operating
a model aircraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any circumstances. This
applies both to the operator and to his or her assistants.

Radio-controlled model aircraft may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer. They
must never be used as machines for carrying people or goods, nor for any other purpose except as
model aircraft. Misuse of this model may result in serious personal injury or even death.
WARNING!
It is important not to make any modifications of any kind to the model. If you deviate from the instructions,
perhaps by using different components or materials, or by making changes to the structural design, you
may seriously affect the ability of the model aircraft to functioncorrectly. Please resist the temptation, and
build the model exactly as directed.
WARNING!
Before you fly the model it is essential to check the Centre of Gravity and the control surface travels, as
stated in these instructions. These settings are very important, and our recommended values must be
observed. Before you fly the model, carry out a careful check of all the working functions and all the
control surfaces. Check the range of the radio control system with the transmitter aerial collapsed. If the
check is satisfactory, repeat it with the engine running, with an assistant holdingthe model securely. Read
theinstructionssuppliedwithyour radio control system, andmake surethat you observethe manufacturer’s
recommendations.
