-====== Safety Guidelines ======
-Suggested Guidelines to help improve safety for other air users and the general public.
-  * Payloads should be kept small - just a few hundred grams at most.
-  * At least 30mm of polystyrene foam (or similar) all round - this not only insulates the payload but adds impact protection.
-  * Generally use lightweight materials and components
-  * No heavy or rigid structural components
-  * Parachutes should be securely attached to the payload - a parcel knot is suggested as a good way of ensuring the payload is attached and can't come apart.
-**Avoid:**
-  * Nylon cables ties - they appear to get brittle at low tempretures - avoid use for load carrying applications.
