Our brochure “Luftrecht fuer Modellflieger” (Aviation Law for the Model Flyer)
is available under Order No. 8032, and contains a summary of all these rules.
Your local model shop should have a copy which you can read. There are also
Post Office regulations concerning your radio control system, and these must
be observed at all times. Refer to your RC system instructions for more
details.
•
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 GRAUPNER 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.
