Before the attempt of a first flight the entire operation and assembly
instructions must be read carefully. You alone are responsible for the safe
operation of your RC-model aircraft. The construction and operation of the
model must be supervised by a responsible adult who is familiar with the
conditions and potential dangers of a RC-model aircraft. Any questions relating
to safety issues when operating a RC-model aircraft will be happily answered
by specialist dealers.
Remote control model aircraft are very sophisticated and dangerous objects
and require high levels of expertise, skill and responsibility on the part of their
operators.
Legally, a model aircraft is an aircraft and subject to the relevant laws and
regulations which must by all means be complied with. The brochure
»
Model
flight law, clauses and more«, order no. 8034.02 is a summary of these laws
and regulations; it can also be viewed at specialist dealers. Furthermore, postal
restraints which relate to remote control systems must be observed. Relevant
advice can be found in the operating instructions of your remote control
system.
Only parts supplied in the construction kit as well as genuine Graupner
accessories and parts which are expressly recommended by us are to be used.
If only one component of the drive unit is changed a safe operation cannot be
guaranteed and any potential claim under warranty is invalidated. Only use
fitting, reverse polarity protected plugs. Avoid short-circuits and incorrect
polarity. Due to the high energy of the NiMH-batteries there is a risk of
explosions and fires.
A RC-model aircraft can only be functional and meet your high expectations if
it has been carefully built according to the assembly instructions. Only
cautious and thoughtful handling when operating the model protects against
personal injury and damage to property. Nobody would try to fly a glider plane
without previous training. This also applies to model flying. However, the
manufacturer has no means to influence the construction and the operation of
a RC-model aircraft. We therefore emphasise strongly the dangers and hereby
reject any liability for this.
Please seek assistance and advice from experienced model flyers, clubs or
model flight schools. Furthermore we would like to refer you to specialist
dealers and relevant publications for additional information. It is best to fly as a
member of a club on a licensed model airfield.
Adhesives and varnishes contain solvents which may damage your health.
Always observe the relevant notes and warnings of the manufacturers.
The operator must be in full possession of his or her physical and mental
abilities. Just as with driving a car the operation of a model aircraft under the
influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited by law.
Before operation inform all passers-by and spectators about any potential
dangers which may originate from your model.
