In legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to legal
regulations and restrictions which must be observed.
•
Our brochure “Modellflugrecht, Paragrafen und mehr” (Model Aviation Law, Legal
Requirements and more) is available under Order No. 8034.01, and contains a summary of
all these rules. Your local model shop should have a copy which you can read. Models
fitted with glowplug motors may only be flown with the landowner’s permission, and third
party insurance is mandatory. There are also Post Office regulations concerning your
radio control system, and these must be observed at all times.
•
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 lack knowledge and experience,
or work carelessly or irresponsibly. If you take reasonable care, model flying is a highly
creative, instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pastime.
•
This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time. However, the work which
you have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The model will only be strong and
fly well if you complete your tasks competently - so please work slowly and accurately.
Important safety notes
You have acquired a kit which can be assembled into a fully working RC model when fitted out with
suitable accessories. However, we, as manufacturers, have no control over the way you build and
operate your RC model aircraft, nor how you install, operate and maintain the associated components,
and for this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due
to the incompetent or incorrect use and operation of our products, or which are connected with such
operation in any way. Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the GRAUPNER
company to pay compensation, regardless of the legal argument employed, is excluded. This includes
personal injury, death, damage to buildings, damage due to loss of business or turnover, interruption
of business or other direct or indirect consequent damage whose root cause was the operation of the
model.
The total liability in all cases is limited to the amount of money which you actually paid for the model.
This model is built and flown at the sole and express responsibility of the operator. The only
way to avoid injury to persons and damage to property is to handle and operate the model with
the greatest care and consideration at all times.
Before you operate the model for the first time, please check that your private third-party liability
insurance policy covers you for the operation of models of this type. If you are not sure, take out a
special policy designed to cover modelling risks.
These safety notes must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to pass
them on to the new owner.
