Our brochure “Modellflugrecht, Paragrafen und mehr” (Model Aviation Law,
Legal Requirements and more) is available under Order No. 8034.02, and
contains a summary of all these rules. Your local model shop should have a
copy which you can read. Models fitted with glowplug engines may only be
flown with the landowner’s permission, and third party insurance is manda-
tory. There are also Post Office regulations concerning your radio control
system, and these must be observed at all times.
•
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. If you
take reasonable care, model flying is a highly creative, instructive, enjoy-
able and relaxing pastime.
•
This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time.
However, the work which you have to carry out is important and must be
done carefully. The model will only be strong and fly well if you complete
your tasks competently - so please work slowly and accurately.
Important Safety Notes
You have acquired a kit which can be assembled into a fully working RC model when
fitted out with suitable accessories. However, we as manufacturers have no control
over the way you build and operate your RC model aircraft, nor how you install, oper-
ate and maintain the associated components, and for this reason we are obliged to
deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the incorrect use
of our products or due to incompetent 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 the GRAUPNER company to pay compensation, regardless of
the legal argument employed, is excluded. This includes personal injury, death, dam-
age to buildings, damages due to loss of business or turnover, interruption of busi-
ness or other direct or indirect consequent damage whose root cause was the opera-
tion of the model.
The total liability in all cases and under all circumstances is limited to the amount of
money which you actually paid for the model.
This model is built and flown at the sole and express responsibility of the op-
erator. The only way to avoid injury to persons and damage to property is to
handle and operate the model with the greatest care and consideration at all
times.
According to the new regulation of §103 Paragraph 3 of the LuftVZO (German Avia-
tion 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. If you are not sure about this, please ask at your local model shop
where the staff will be glad to advise you.
These safety notes must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be
sure to pass them on to the new owner.
