The purchaser is required to make the guarantee claim in writing, and must enclose original proof of
purchase (e.g. invoice, receipt, delivery note) and this guarantee card. He must send the defective
goods to us at the above address at his own cost.
The purchaser should state the material defect or manufacturing fault, or the symptoms of the fault, in
as accurate a manner as possible, so that we can check if our guarantee obligation is applicable.
The goods are transported from the consumer to us and from us to the consumer at the risk of the
consumer.
Duration of validity
This declaration only applies to claims made to us during the claim period as stated in this declaration.
The claim period is 24 months from the date of purchase of the product by the consumer from a dealer
in the Federal Republic of Germany (date of purchase). If a defect arises after the end of the claim
period, or if the evidence or documents required according to this declaration in order to make the
claim valid are not presented until after this period, then the consumer forfeits any rights or claims from
this declaration.
Limitation by lapse of time
If we do not acknowledge the validity of a claim based on this declaration within the claim period, all
claims based on this declaration are barred by the statute of limitations after six months from the time
of implementation; however, this cannot occur before the end of the claim period.
Applicable law
This declaration, and the claims, rights and obligations arising from it, are based exclusively on the
pertinent German Law, without the norms of international private law, and excluding UN retail law.
The following points are important and must be observed at all times:
•
Before you fly the model, check that the radio control system is working reliably, and that all
connections are secure.
•
If you are using dry cells as a power source, please note that you must not attempt to recharge
them. Only batteries marked specifically as “rechargeable” can safely be recharged.
•
The batteries must be charged and the range of the radio control system must be checked before
you operate the model. In particular, the radio control system batteries must be fully charged
before each session and checked before each flight.
•
Ensure that the channel you intend to use is not already in use by other modellers. Never fly the
model if you are not certain that your channel is free.
•
Read and observe the instructions and recommendations provided by the manufacturer of your
radio control system and accessory components.
•
Ensure that the servos are not mechanically obstructed at any point in their travel.
•
Dry cells and rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited.
•
Remove all batteries from the model prior to transporting and storing it.
•
Do not subject the model to dirty or cold conditions, or high levels of humidity or heat.
•
Secure the model and your RC equipment carefully when transporting them. They may be
seriously damaged if they are free to slide about.
Pre-flight checks
Check that the radio control system is working correctly and at full range before every flight: fit the
transmitter aerial and extend it fully, then switch on the transmitter and the receiving system. Walk
away from the model, and check that all the control surfaces work smoothly and immediately at an
appropriate distance, and deflect in the correct “sense” (direction) relative to the stick movements.
Repeat the check with the engine running while a friend holds the model securely for you.
If you are a relative beginner to model flying, we recommend that you enlist the aid of an experienced
model pilot to help you check and test-fly the model.
Care and maintenance
•
Clean the model carefully after every flight, and remove any dirt from the propeller. Clean the
aeroplane and the RC components using suitable cleaning agents only. Ask your model shop for
information if you are not sure.
•
If the model is not to be operated for a considerable time it is important to clean and re-lubricate all
the moving parts.
