Radio-controlled

Insurance

does

involve

certain

risks,

even

when

Control surface

a major role in

the safety of

The

biggest contribution to safety is one

you

The legal

side

(tot

Radio

controlled

models

are of two types

those which

operale on the

ground

or on

water, known

"surface"

models,

and those

which

operate

the air. The

first

group

includes

model cars, trucks

and buggies, and also

model

boats of all types.

The

second encompasses fixed-wing

model

aircraft and rotary-wing machines

(mainly

heli-

copters). Radio

controlled toys come into a different

category, and operate at 49 MHz where

a small band

bands available for radio controlled models

are shown below:

Please note

that 40 MHz is

Which receivers

can

use?

Tne

EUROPA

rnc

transmitter

lransmits

nine

channels.

You can use

any

PPM receiver which

can decode nine

channels.

decode nine channels does not necessarily

mean

that

nine

receiver

outouts are available.

A MICRO

5t7@ceiver has

only seven outputs, butdecodes

nine

channels and can therefore be used with

the

All receivers in

The

For

your

has a 1350

mAh battery

then

you

should

charge it

at a current

of about 135 mA. At

this rate

the battery would

be fully
