6. Safety Information

In case of damage caused by non-compliance with these operating instructions, the warranty/guar-

antee will expire. We do not assume any liability for consequential damage!
We do not assume any liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by improper use 

or the failure to observe the safety instructions! In such cases the warranty/guarantee is voided.
Normal wear and tear during operation (e.g. worn-out gear wheels) are excluded from the guarantee 

and warranty; the same is the case for accidental damage (e.g. broken bearing retainer or rotor 

blades).
Dear customer, these safety instructions are not only for the protection of the product but also for your own

operation!

If you already have private liability insurance, verify whether or not operation of the model is 

covered by your insurance before commissioning your model.
Note: In some countries you are required to have insurance for all model aircraft!
