GRAUPNER DISCUS 2CT Building Instructions page 17

Satisfy yourself that your frequency is vacant before you switch on. Radio interference
caused by unknown sources can occur at any time without warning. If this should
happen, your model will be uncontrollable and completely unpredictable. Never leave
your radio control system unguarded, as another person might pick it up and try to
use it.
Do not switch on the electric motor unless you are sure that there is nothing in the
rotational plane of the propeller. Never attempt to stop the spinning propeller. Electric
motors with the propeller attached should only be run when firmly mounted.
If you are to fly your model safely and avoid problems, it is essential that you are
aware of its position and attitude throughout each flight - so don't let it fly too far
away! If you detect a control problem or interference during a flight, immediately land
the model to prevent a potential accident. Models must always give way to full-size
aircraft. Take-off and landing strips should be kept free of people and other obstacles.
Your RC system can only work reliably if the batteries are kept fully charged.
Never use batteries which are hot, faulty or damaged. At all times heed the
instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Before each flight check that all functions on the model aircraft are working correctly,
and that the radio control system is in good order and operating at full range.
Note that the motor control (throttle) function on the transmitter must always be
moved to the OFF position as the first stage in preparing for a flight. To avoid the
danger of the electric motor bursting into life unexpectedly, always switch on the
transmitter first, and only then the receiving system. The opposite applies at the end
of a flight: always switch off the receiving system first, and finally the transmitter.
Check that the control surfaces follow the movement of the transmitter sticks.
After use, remove the flight battery from the model, and store it in the discharged state
at a temperature of around +5° to +25° C. Keep it in a safe place, well out of the reach
of children.
Please don't misunderstand the purpose of these notes. We only want to make you
aware of the many dangers and hazards which can arise if you work carelessly or
irresponsibly. If you take reasonable care, model flying is a highly creative,
instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pastime.
