Be sure 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
system will work reliably, and such changes also invalidate your guarantee.
Use only matching polarised electrical connectors. The flight battery, all cables
and connectors must be insulated carefully to prevent short-circuits, especially
if you make them up yourself. Never combine connectors with contacts of dif-
ferent materials, e.g. tin-plated and gold-plated, as the connections will not be
reliable in the long-term.
If you are using a BEC motor switch or speed controller (i.e. with integral re-
ceiver power supply) use Graupner gold-contact connectors exclusively.
Take every care to avoid short-circuits and reversed polarity.
The high energy density of Li-Po batteries involves a risk of fire and even ex-
plosion.
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 essential
to be careful and painstaking at all stages of building and operating your
model. Nobody would climb into a full-size aircraft and attempt to fly it without
undergoing suitable training beforehand. Successful model flying is only pos-
sible with suitable training and plenty of practice.
As manufacturers we are not in a position to influence the way you build and
operate your RC model aircraft, and for this reason we deny all liability. All we
can do is expressly point out the hazards involved in this activity.
We suggest that you ask an experienced model flyer for help, or join a model
club or flight training school. Your local model shop and the specialist maga-
zines are excellent sources of information. If at all possible, it is always best to
join a club and fly at the approved model flying site.
You alone are responsible for the safe operation of your radio-controlled
model. If you have any questions regarding the safe operation of your RC
model aeroplane, please turn to your local model shop in the first instance, as
the staff will be pleased to help you.
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, operating a model aircraft under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any circumstances.
If there are passers-by or spectators at your flying site, make sure that they are
aware of the dangers inherent in your activity before you start the motor, and
insist that they keep a safe distance away - at least 5 m behind the rotational
plane of the propeller.
