ments 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 sys-
tem, 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 ex-
pressly 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 expec-
tations if it is built very carefully and in accordance with the building instruc-
tions. If you wish to avoid injuring people and damaging property, it is essen-
tial 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
model press are also good sources of information. The best course is always
to join a club and fly at the approved model flying site.
Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health un-
der certain circumstances. Read and observe the notes and warnings supplied
by the manufacturer of these materials.
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and
mental faculties. As with car driving, flying a model aircraft under the influence
of alcohol or drugs is highly dangerous and not permissible under any circum-
stances.
Make sure that all passers-by and onlookers are aware of the hazards involved
in the operation of your model.
Keep a safe distance between your model and other people or objects. Never
fly low over people or directly towards them.
Radio-controlled models should only be flown in “normal” weather conditions,
i.e. a temperature range of -5° to +35°C. More extreme temperatures can lead to
