If you are a beginner to model flying we strongly
recommend that you ask an experienced model pilot
to help you for the first few flights.
Allow the model to climb to a safe height, then adjust
the trim sliders on the transmitter until it flies in a perfectly
straight line "hands off".
While the model is still at a safe altitude, switch off the
motor and try out the controls on the glide. Carry out a
"dry run" landing approach at a safe height so that you
are prepared for the real landing when the battery runs
flat.
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.
8. 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

Battery Care Tips
- Do not have the motor of your car running when you are charging the Nicad Battery. This may cause overcharging
of your battery (Note: 600mA Nicad battery pack should not be charged over 30 minutes).
- Heat is the number one cause of battery failure.
- The motor battery should never become so hot during the charge process that you are unable to handle it.
- The motor battery will become warm during the flight; wait until the battery is cool to the touch before re-charging
it.
- Discharge remaining power in Nicad battery by operating propeller after landing.
- The Nicad battery can go bad over prolonged usage; replace it if the flying time gets considerably shorter over
time.
- Never charge the battery while battery is installed in the plane.

correct charging procedure for the NC 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 MULTI-
PLEX 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.
We - the MULTIPLEX team - hope you have many hours
of pleasure building and flying your new model.
