Liability Exclusion and Damages 

 

You have acquired a kit, which can be assembled into a fully working R/C model when fitted out with suitable 
accessories, as described in the instruction manual with the kit. 
However, as manufacturers, we at Xtremejet are not in a position to influence the way you build and operate your 
model, and we have no control over the methods you use to install, operate and maintain the radio control system 
components. For this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to 
the incompetent or incorrect application and operation of our products, or which are connected with such operation 
in any way. Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the Extremejet company to pay compen-
sation is excluded, regardless of the legal argument employed. This applies to personal injury, death, damage to 
buildings, loss of turnover and business, interruption of business or other direct and indirect consequent damages. 
In all circumstances our total liability is limited to the amount which you actually paid for this model. 

BY OPERATING THIS MODEL YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS. 

It is important to understand that Xtremejet,  is unable to monitor whether you follow the instructions contained in 
this instruction manual regarding the construction, operation and maintenance of the aircraft, nor whether you in-
stall and use the radio control system correctly. For this reason we at Xtremejet are unable to guarantee, or pro-
vide, a contractual agreement with any individual or company that the model you have made will function cor-
rectly and safely. You, as operator of the model, must rely upon your own expertise and judgement in acquiring 
and operating this model. 

Warning ! 

This ‘jet’ aircraft is a high-end product and can create an enormous risk for both pilot and spectators, if not han-
dled with care, and used according to the instructions. Make sure that you operate your F-16 according to the 
AMA rules, or those laws and regulations governing model flying in the country of use. 
The engine, landing gear, servos, linkages and control surfaces have to be attached properly. Please use only the 
recommended servos and accessories. Make sure that the ‘Centre of Gravity’ is located in the recommended place. 
Use the nose heavy end of the CG range for your first flights. A tail heavy plane can be an enormous danger for 
you and all spectators. Fix any weights, and heavy items like batteries, very securely into the plane. Make sure that 
the plane is secured properly when you start the engine. Have a helper hold your plane from the nose before you 
start the engine. Make sure that all spectators are far 
behind, or far in front, of the aircraft when running up the engine.  Make sure that you range check your R/C sys-
tem thoroughly before the 1st flight. It is absolutely necessary to range check your complete R/C installation first 
WITHOUT the engine running. Leave the transmitter antenna retracted, and check the distance you can walk be-
fore ‘fail-safe’ occurs. Then start the engine, run at about half throttle and repeat this range check. Make sure that 
there is no range reduction before ‘fail-safe’ occurs. If the range with 
engine running is less then with the engine off, please DON’T FLY at that time. Make sure that your wing spar 
tube is not damaged. Check that the anti-rotation dowels for the wings are not loose. Check that the wing, stab, fin 
and nose retaining bolts are tight. Please don’t ignore our warnings, or those provided by other manufacturers. 
They refer to things and processes which, if ignored, could result in permanent damage or fatal injury. Secure the 
plane before starting engine.
