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.
Remove the flight battery from the model after each flying session, and store it at a temperature of around
+5°C to +25°C, well out of the reach of children.
Never use hot, faulty or damaged batteries. It is important to observe the instructions supplied by the
battery manufacturer.
Before every flight ensure that all functions are working correctly, and carry out a range check.
Always ensure that the throttle stick (or other throttle control) is at the motor OFF position before
switching the transmitter on. To avoid the electric motor bursting into life unexpectedly, always switch
the transmitter on first, followed by the receiving system. When switching off, reverse the order: receiving
system first, then the transmitter.
Check that the control surfaces work in the correct “sense”, i.e. that they deflect in the direction which
corresponds to the movement of the stick.
Please don’t misunderstand the purpose of these notes. We only want to make you aware of the many
dangers and hazards which can arise if you lack knowledge and experience, or work carelessly or
irresponsibly. Provided that you take reasonable care, model flying is a highly creative, instructive,
enjoyable and relaxing pastime.
Manufacturer’s declaration:
If material defects or manufacturing faults should arise in a product distributed by us in the Federal
Republic of Germany and purchased by a consumer (§ 13 BGB), we, Graupner GmbH & Co. KG, D-73230
Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, acknowledge the obligation to correct those defects within the limitations
described below.
The consumer is not entitled to exploit this manufacturer’s declaration if the failure in the usability of the

defects arising from the purchase contract between the consumer and the vendor (dealer).
Extent of the guarantee
If a claim is made under guarantee, we undertake at our discretion to repair or replace the defective
goods. We will not consider supplementary claims, especially for reimbursement of costs relating to the
defect (e.g. installation / removal costs) and compensation for consequent damages unless they are
allowed by statute. This does not affect claims based on legal regulations, especially according to
product liability law.
Guarantee requirements
The purchaser is required to make the guarantee claim in writing, and must enclose original proof of
purchase (e.g. invoice, receipt, delivery note) and this guarantee card. The purchaser must send the

The purchaser should state the material defect or manufacturing fault, or the symptoms of the fault, in as
accurate a manner as possible, so that we can check if our guarantee obligation is applicable.

Duration of validity
This declaration only applies to claims made to us during the claim period as stated in this declaration.
The claim period is 24 months from the date of purchase of the product by the consumer from a dealer in
the Federal Republic of Germany (purchase date). If a defect arises after the end of the claim period, or if
the evidence or documents required according to this declaration in order to make the claim valid are not
presented until after this period, then the consumer forfeits any rights or claims from this declaration.
