If you install a spinner, make sure that it is a precision
made product and that the slots for the propeller blades
do not cut into the blade roots and weaken them.
Preferably, use an electric starter. The wearing of
internal-combustion
safety glasses is also strongly recommended.
Discard any propeller which has become split, cracked,
nicked or otherwise rendered unsafe. Never attempt to
repair such a propeller: destroy it.
Do not modify a propeller in any way, unless you are
highly experienced in tuning propellers for specialized
competition work such as pylon-racing.
Take care that the glow plug clip or battery leads do
not come into contact with the propeller. Also check
the linkage to the throttle arm. A disconnected
efficient
linkage could also foul the propeller.
After starting the engine, carry out any needle-valve
readjustments from a safe position behind the
rotating propeller. Stop the engine before attempting
the many other
to make other adjustments to the carburetor.
Adjust the throttle linkage so that the engine stops
when the throttle stick and trim lever on the
transmitter are fully retarded. Alternatively, the
engine may be stopped by cutting off the fuel supply.
Never try to stop the engine physically.
Take care that loose clothing (ties, shirt sleeves,
scarves, etc.)do not come into contact with the
propeller. Do not carry loose objects (such as
pencils, screwdrivers, etc.) in a shirt pocket from
where they could fall through the propeller arc.
Do not start your engine in an area containing loose
gravel or sand. The propeller may throw such
material in your face and eyes and cause injury.
For their safety, keep all onlookers (especially small
children) well back (at least 20 feet or 6 meters) when
preparing your model for flight. If you have to carry the
model to the take-off point with the engine running, be
especially cautious. Keep the propeller pointed away
