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 different
materials, e.g. tin-plated and gold-plated, as the connections will not be reliable in
the long-term.
If you prefer to use a motor switch or speed controller with an integral receiver
power supply (BEC system), please use Graupner gold-contact connectors
exclusively.
Take great care to avoid short-circuits and incorrect polarity.
The high energy density of Li-Po batteries involves a 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 aircraft and attempt to fly it without undergoing proper training
beforehand, and the skill of model flying needs to be learned in just the same way.
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 magazines 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, where the staff will be
pleased to help you.
Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health under
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 influence 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.
