Important safety notes 
You have acquired a kit that can be assembled into a fully working RC model when 
fitted  out  with  suitable  accessories.  However,  GRAUPNER  has  no  control  over 
whether you observe the instructions for the installation and operation of the model or 
the  use  and  maintenance  of  the  associated  components.  For  this  reason 
GRAUPNER assumes no liability for loss, damage, or costs, which are incurred due 
to the incorrect use of our products or due to improper behaviour on the part of the 
user,  or  which  are  connected  with  such  operation  in  any  way.    Unless  otherwise 
prescribed by binding law, the obligation of GRAUPNER to pay compensation for any 
reason  whatsoever  (including  personal  injury,  death,  damage  to  buildings,  damage 
due to loss of business or turnover, interruption of business, or other direct or indirect 
consequent damage) stemming from the operation of the model is excluded. 
The total liability in all cases and under all circumstances is limited to the amount of 
money that you actually paid for this model.  
 
This  model  is  started  up  and  operated  at  the  sole  and  exclusive  risk  of  the 
operator. To avoid injuring people and damaging property, it is essential to be 
careful and thoughtful when operating your model. 
 
According  to  the  new  regulation  of  §103  Paragraph  3  of  the  LuftVZO  (German 
Aviation Approvals Office), all model aircraft - whether slow flyer, park flyer, glider, or 
model  aircraft  propelled  by  any  form  of  power  plant  -  must  be  insured  before  the 
model  is  operated.  Therefore,  you  should  purchase  special  RC  model  liability 
insurance. Your local model shop will be glad to advise you. 
These safety notes must be kept in a safe place, and, if you ever sell the model, must 
be passed on to the buyer.
