Dear Customer,
this safety information serves not only to protect the product, but also your own safety and the safety of other persons. Therefore, read this chapter
very carefully before taking the product into operation!
a) General Information
Caution, important note!
Operating the model may cause damage to property and/or individuals. Therefore, make sure that you are sufficiently insured when using the
model, e.g. by taking out private liability insurance. If you already have private liability insurance, verify whether or not operation of the model is
covered by your insurance before commissioning your model.
Note: In some EU countries, you are required to have insurance for any flying models!
• This product is not a toy and not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
• The product must not become damp or wet.
• If you do not have sufficient knowledge as to how to deal with remote-controlled models, please seek the advice of an experienced model maker or a model
making club.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become dangerous playing material for children.
• Should questions arise that are not answered by the operating manual, contact us (for contact information, see chapter 1) or another expert.
b) Before Commissioning
The tail units and wings of the flight model are already covered in iron-on foil ex works.
During transport and storage, temperature change and changes in air humidity cause blister and fold formation of the iron-on foil.
This is not a defect or reason for complete, but rather a regular process that may occur during operation as well.
Careful heating with a clothes iron (first level) or a hot-air gun and subsequent flattening with a dry, soft cloth will easily remove such folds.
• Unroll the aerial wire of the receiver of the model to its complete length (only required for 35 or 40 MHz remote controls). Any aerial parts protruding from the
model must not be bent toward the front and attached to the model or cut off. The best reception results are attained if the wire hangs loose from the model and
is dragged during flight.
• Make sure that no other models are operated on the same channel or transmitter frequency within the range of the remote control. Otherwise, you will lose
control of the remote-controlled models!
• Check the functional reliability of your model and of the remote control system. Watch out for any visible damage such as defective plug connections or
damaged cables. All moving parts of the model must run smoothly but should not have any play in their bearings.
• Charge the flight battery, which is necessary for operation, as well as the receiver battery that may be inserted in the remote control according the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• If batteries are used as a transmitter power supply, make sure that they have sufficient remaining capacity (battery checker). If the batteries are empty, always
replace the complete set, never individual cells only.
• Before each operation, check the settings of the trim slider on the transmitter for the different steering directions and, if necessary, adjust them.
• To operate your model, always pull out the telescopic aerial completely as the transmitter (for 35 or 40 MHz remote controls) would otherwise cover a
decisively smaller range and the amplifier of the transmitter would be overloaded significantly.
• Always switch on the transmitter first. Then the receiver battery of the model may be connected.
