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.
According to the new regulation §103 Para. 3 of the LuftVZO
all
model aircraft must
be insured before they are flown. This applies whether they are slow-fly or park-fly
models, gliders, or models with any type of power system. We recommend that you
take out a special third-party insurance policy to cover the risks of radio-controlled
model aircraft. If you are not sure about this, please ask your local model shop for
information.
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.
