LIABILITY EXCLUSION AND DAMAGES
You have acquired a kit which can be assembled into a fully working RC model
when fitted out with suitable accessories, as described in the building instructions
in the kit. However, as manufacturers, we at Composite-ARF 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 opera-
tion of our products, or which are connected with such operation in any way.
Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the Composite-ARF
company to pay compensation is excluded, regardless of the legal argument em-
ployed. This applies to personal injury, death, damage to buildings, loss of turn-
over 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 Composite-ARF is unable to monitor whether
you keep to the instructions contained in this operating manual regarding the
construction, operation and maintenance of the aircraft, nor whether you install and
use the radio control system correctly. For this reason we at Composite-ARF are
unable to guarantee or provide a contractual agreement with any individual or
company that the model you have made will function correctly and safely. You, as
operator of the model, must rely upon your own expertise and judgement in acquir-
ing and operating this model.
SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY NOTES
Pre-flight checking
Before every session check that all the model’s working systems function cor-
rectly, and be sure to carry out a range check. This is the procedure: switch on the
transmitter, followed by the receiver. Leave the transmitter aerial collapsed and
walk away from the model. At the appropriate range check that all the control
surfaces work perfectly when you move the sticks.
Repeat the procedure with the engine running, while an assistant holds the model
securely.
The first time you fly any new model aircraft we strongly recommend that you
enlist the help of an experienced modeller to help you check the model and offer
advice while you are flying. He should be capable of detecting potential weak
points and errors.
Be certain to keep to the recommended CG position and control surface travels; if
adjustments are required, carry them out.
Don’t ignore our warnings or those provided by other manufacturers. They refer to
things and processes which, if ignored, can result in fatal injury or permanent
damage.
