Don’t operate your aircraft from public roads, squares, school playgrounds,
public parks or sports grounds etc., and ensure that you are always in full
control of the model.
•
It is important that you are able to stop your engine at any time. This is
achieved by adjusting the throttle so that the barrel closes completely
when you move the throttle stick and trim to their end-points. If this does
not work, pinch the fuel feed line between your fingers or pull it off the
carburettor. Never try to stop the engine by grasping the flywheel, propeller
or spinner!
•
All model flyers should behave in a manner which minimises the danger to
people and property. Never act in any way which will disturb other flyers
and jeopardise safe, orderly flying at the site.
•
In legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to
legal regulations and restrictions which must be observed.
•
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
mandatory. 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,
enjoyable 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,
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
