Be sure to read right through the instructions covering assembly and operation
of your model before you attempt to operate it for the first time. You alone are
responsible for the safe operation of your radio-controlled model. Young
people should only be permitted to build and fly this model under the
instruction and supervision of an adult who is aware of the hazards involved in
this activity.
If you have questions regarding the safe operation of your RC model aircraft,
please turn to your local model shop in the first instance, as the staff will be
pleased to help you.
Radio-controlled model aircraft are very demanding and potentially dangerous
machines, and call for a high level of technical knowledge and skill from the
operator, together with a responsible attitude.
In legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to
statutory 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. 8034.02, 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. Refer to your RC system
instructions for more details.
It is important to use only those parts included in the kit, together with other
genuine Graupner accessories and replacement parts as recommended
expressly by us. Even if you change a single component, you can no longer be
sure that the whole system will work reliably, and such changes also invalidate
your guarantee.
Use only matching polarised connectors.
Avoid short circuits and reverse polarity at all times.
The high energy density of NiMH batteries involves a permanent risk of fire and
even explosion.
A radio-controlled model aircraft can only work properly and fulfil your
expectations if it is built very carefully and in accordance with the building
instructions. If you wish to avoid injuring people and damaging property, it is
essential to be careful and painstaking at all stages of building and operating
your model. Nobody would climb into a full-size sailplane and try to fly it
without completing a course of training first. Model flying is just such a skill,
and has to be learned in exactly the same way.
However, as manufacturers we have no means of influencing the way you build
and operate your RC model aircraft, and for this reason we can do no more
than point out the hazards expressly. We accept no further liability.
If you need help, please enlist the aid of an experienced modeller, join a model
club or enrol at a model flying training school. Model shops and the specialist
