Don’t operate your model aeroplane in the vicinity of overhead power cables, industrial sites, residential
areas, public roads, school playgrounds or sports fields etc.
Pre-flight checks
Check that the radio control system works correctly and at full range before every flight: switch on the
transmitter and receiving system, and ensure that all the control surfaces work smoothly, and deflect in
the correct “sense” in relation to the stick movements.
If you are a beginner to this type of model flying, we recommend that you enlist an experienced model
pilot to help you check and test-fly the model.
Please don’t ignore our warnings. They refer to hazardous materials and processes which, if ignored, can
result in fatal injury or serious damage to property.
If you are to fly your model safely and avoid problems, it is essential that you are aware of its position
and attitude throughout each flight - so don’t let it fly too far away. If you detect a control problem or
interference during a flight, immediately land the model to prevent a potential accident. Model aeroplanes
must always give way to full-size aircraft. Take-off and landing strips should be kept free of people and
other obstacles.
Your RC system can only work reliably if the batteries are kept fully charged.
Never use hot, faulty or damaged batteries. It is important to observe the instructions supplied by the
battery manufacturer.

Extent of the guarantee
If a claim is made under guarantee, we undertake at our discretion to repair or replace the defective

allowed by statute. This does not affect claims based on legal regulations, especially according to
product liability law.

The purchaser should state the material defect or manufacturing fault, or the symptoms of the fault, in as
