Keep your wits about you!
• Make sure you don’t dehydrate
by having access to plenty of
fluids while at the field. Water
containers are not what they
used to be and there’s a range
of new drinking bottles that are
aluminium and double-walled
(with no spill straws) to keep
your water cool.
• Take a look at your clothing for
the best protection in avoiding
sun damage to your skin, which
may come back in the future to
torment you. Long sleeve light
cotton shirts may work and some
come in material that has an SPF
rating.
• If you need to retrieve a model
away from the field, consider
your personal safety and make
sure someone knows where you
are going and in what direction.
• Take additional care if you
intend to operate by yourself and
always carry a mobile phone so
you can call for help.
• Try to avoid leaving models
in closed vehicles during the
summer months as this can
cause problems not only with
canopies but electronics, which
may then fail at a later date.
Pilot safety awareness does not
stop by ensuring your electric model
is armed in the correct manner
and in a safe environment. It does
not stop by keeping fingers away
from spinning propellers or by not
carrying out a ‘radio range check’
prior to the first flight of the day.
Taking the time to actually check
that the control functions on that
new model ARE working in the
correct direction, not just ‘waggling
in the breeze’, avoids an unsafe
operation and embarrassment.
The MAAA investigates accidents
that occur across the country and
it’s really very important when
flying model aircraft to keep your
wits about you. If your mates aren’t
paying attention, remind them and
place the safety of yourself and
fellow modellers before anything
else. Nobody wants a good, fun
flight to be spoiled by a trip to the
emergency ward.
Remember, you can learn a great
deal from your fellow flyers who
want to see you succeed and enjoy
the experience for many years
to come. For more information
