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,  operate  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,  damage  to 
buildings,  damages  due  to  loss  of  business  or  turnover,  interruption  of 
business or other direct or indirect consequent damage whose root cause was 
the operation 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 
operator. 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. 
 
 
If  you  have  not  already  done  so,  you  must  take  out  a  special  third-party 
insurance policy to cover the risks of RC model flying. 
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.
