Preface.
Thank you for choosing the ALPINA 4001 Elektro
high performance model glider. We wish you
much success and enjoyment with your new
model.
Your TANGENT model kit from the home of
GRAUPNER represents a mature design and the
product of many years experience in the
manufacturing of high performance model aircraft.
However, despite the most scrupulous quality
control, small deviations may arise. We ask
therefore that all parts be carefully inspected prior
to undertaking any assembly work and before
flying the model. This is particularly important as
any used parts are not subject to repair or
replacement. Notwithstanding the above, we are
happy to repair or replace parts found to be faulty
– subject to approval by the factory. Please
therefore return any faulty parts together with a
detailed description of the fault.
Our products are the subject of continuous
development and as such we reserve the right to
make changes to the design, engineering,
manufacture and materials supplied without prior
notice. As the product is supplied in kit form, no
claims will be considered in respect of the
assembly or operation of the model.
Caution!
Remote controlled models and model aircraft in
particular, are not toys in the normal sense.
Building and operation of this model aircraft
requires
a
high
degree
of
technical
understanding and care, as well as considerable
skill and discipline at the flying field. Errors in
the building process and in the subsequent
operation of this product can result in serious
personal injury and damage to property. As kit
manufacturer we have no control over the
assembly, maintenance and operation of this
model aircraft, we therefore take this
opportunity to stress the potential hazards and
emphasise the personal responsibility on the
part of the user.

It is very important that the Receiver Battery be
selected to match the intended use. The capacity
ought to be sufficiently generous to cope with the
load of the on board radio control system (it’s
always more useful to have more battery capacity
than lead nose-weight!). Considering the use of up
to 9 servos, we recommend a battery pack of at
least 3000 mAhr capacity (C ) of good quality and
always well maintained. For long duration thermal
