SECTION I 

 
SAFETY FIRST FOR YOURSELF, FOR OTHERS 
AND FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT. 
 
“Safety First” is more than just a slogan when operating 
radio control models. Thus, we urge, especially with 
respect to radio controlled aircraft that: 
 

FOR YOUR SAFETY: 

 
Recognize that radio controlled models are not harmless 
toys and can be dangerous missiles if carelessly or 
improperly flown.  You are responsible because the 
reliability and safe operation of the radio equipment is 
largely dependent upon its proper installation and 
utilization. 
 
THEREFORE, INSTALL YOUR RADIO CONTROL 
SYSTEM CORRECTLY AND BE CERTAIN YOU 
CAN FLY WELL ENOUGH TO CONTROL YOUR 
AIRCRAFT UNDER ALL CONDITIONS.
