rapid changes in temperature (e.g. warm car : cold

environment) can result in condensation inside the

transmitter. Damp has an adverse effect on the

working of the transmitter, and on all other elec-

tronic devices.

If you detect damp in any electrical apparatus,

cease operations immediately, disconnect the

power supply, open the case (if possible) and allow

the device to dry out (may take several days). Carry

out a careful check of all functions when dry. If you

are in any doubt, have your equipment checked by

an authorised MULTIPLEX Service Centre.

! This radio control system is only approved for

use on particular channels / transmission frequen-

cies, and these vary from country to country. In

some cases official formalities must be completed

before the system can be used legally.

Be sure to read the information sheets supplied as

part of the transmitter documentation!

3.1. General Safety Notes

Build the model carefully

• Install and adjust the control surface linkages in such

a way that the control surfaces move freely, and do

not bind at maximum travel. Don’t limit servo travels

at the transmitter; it is always better to adjust the lev-

ers and pushrods to the correct lengths, as this helps

to keep slop (lost motion) to a minimum.

• If you observe these points you will minimise the load

on the servos, exploit their performance to the full

and achieve maximum longevity combined with best

possible safety and reliability.

• Provide effective vibration protection for the receiver,

battery, servos and other RC and electronic compo-

nents, to avoid electronic components failing under

stress. Read the notes in the operating instructions

supplied with these units. Naturally it is also impor-

tant to avoid vibration. Balance propellers and rotor

blades before use, and replace them if they are dam-

aged. Install glowplug motors using vibration-

damping mounts, and replace any power units or

components which are damaged or run out of true.

• Don’t kink cables or place them under tension, and

protect them from rotating parts.

• Avoid unnecessarily long or superfluous servo exten-

sion leads. If they are longer than 30 - 50 cm, fit

separation filters (ferrite rings) and use cables of

adequate cross-section (voltage loss). As a guideline

we recommend conductors of at least 0.24 mm

• Do not coil up the receiver aerial, and don’t shorten

or lengthen it. Do not deploy the aerial parallel to

electrically conductive parts such as metal pushrods,

or within fuselages with a shielding effect (made of or

reinforced with carbon fibre, metallic paintwork). Do

not deploy the aerial on electrically conductive model

components. We recommend the use of whip aerials

in large-scale model aircraft.

• Be sure to install a receiver power supply of ade-

quate capacity. For servos rated at up to around 40

Ncm you can use the following formula for calculating

the approximate battery capacity required:

mAhservosofnomAhCapacity 200.][ ×≥

Always select the next larger battery size if weight or

space restrictions do not prevent you doing so.

• Moving parts made of conductive materials (e.g.

metal linkage components and pushrods) should not

be allowed to touch, as this generates “noise” which

can prevent the receiving system working properly.

• Avoid interference caused by static charges and

powerful electrical / electro-magnetic fields by taking

suitable suppressing measures (e.g. fit electric mo-

tors with suitable capacitors, petrol engines with

shielded sparkplug caps, ignition leads and ignition

units), and keep them well away from the RC system,

the receiver aerial, wiring and batteries.

• All cables in which high currents flow (e.g. electric

power systems) should be kept well clear of the RC

equipment. In particular, keep the leads between

brushless electric motors and their controllers as

short as possible (suggested maximum 10 - 15 cm).

• New models should always be programmed in the

peace and quiet of your home. Check all the working

systems carefully. Familiarise yourself with the

method of programming and operating your trans-

mitter before you take it out to fly your model.

Check your models regularly

• Control surfaces and linkages should move freely

and smoothly, without slop (lost motion)

• Pushrods, linkages, hinges etc. should be adequately

strong and in excellent condition

• Look for visual signs of damage such as fractures,

cracks, stress lines etc. on the model and its compo-

nents, as well as the RC and power systems

• All cables and connectors should be in perfect condi-

tion, and must make good, constant contact

• Check the condition of the power supply, its wiring

and the switch harness, and check the external con-

dition of the cells. Battery maintenance includes the

use of a suitable charger and a charge method

matching the battery type, plus regular balancing of

the cells and checks of their voltage and capacity.

Pre-flight checks:

• Carefully charge the transmitter and receiver batter-

ies, and your flight packs. At regular intervals check

their state of charge during and between flights.

• At the flying site check with those present which

channels / transmitter frequencies are in use, or reg-

ister with the flight director and ask about the method

of frequency control in use. Do not switch ON until

you are sure it is safe to do so. If you overlook this,

there is a danger of channel clashes!

• Carry out a range check (Î 3.2.).

• Ensure that you have activated the correct model

memory.

• Check all primary functions and auxiliary functions

one by one; they must all work correctly.

! If you detect a problem or have any doubts:

don’t fly. Look for the fault, correct it, and repeat

the checking procedure.
