Be sure to read right through the instructions covering assembly and operation of your model before you
attempt to operate it for the first time. You alone are responsible for the safe operation of your radio-controlled
model. Young people should only be permitted to build and fly this model under the instruction and supervision
of an adult who is aware of the hazards involved in this activity.
If you have any questions regarding the safe operation of your RC model aircraft, please turn to your local
model shop in the first instance, as the staff will be pleased to help you.
Radio-controlled model aircraft are very demanding and potentially dangerous machines, and call for a high
level of technical knowledge and skill from the operator, together with a responsible attitude.
In legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to statutory 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. There are also Post Office regulations
concerning your radio control system, and these must be observed. Refer to your RC system instructions for
more details.
It is important to use only those parts included in the kit, together with other genuine Graupner accessories and
replacement parts as recommended expressly by us. Even if you change a single component, you can no
longer be sure that the whole system will work reliably, and such changes also invalidate your guarantee.
Use only matching polarised connectors.
Avoid short circuits and reverse polarity at all times.
The high energy density of NiMH batteries involves a permanent risk of fire and even explosion.
A radio-controlled model aircraft can only work properly and fulfil your expectations if it is built very carefully and
in accordance with the building instructions. If you wish to avoid injuring people and damaging property, it is
essential to be careful and painstaking at all stages of building and operating your model. Nobody would climb
into a full-size sailplane and try to fly it without completing a course of training first. Model flying is just such a
skill, and has to be learned in exactly the same way.
However, as manufacturers we have no means of influencing the way you build and operate your RC model
aircraft, and for this reason we can do no more than point out the hazards expressly. We accept no further
liability.
If you need help, please enlist the aid of an experienced modeller, join a model club or enrol at a model flying
training school. Model shops and the specialist model press are also good sources of information. The best
course is always to join a club and fly at the approved model flying site.
Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health under certain circumstances. Read
and observe the notes and warnings supplied by the manufacturer of these materials.
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and mental faculties. As with car
driving, flying a model aircraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs is highly dangerous and not permissible
under any circumstances.
Make sure that all passers-by and onlookers are aware of the hazards involved in the operation of your model.
Keep a safe distance between your model and other people or objects. Never fly low over people or directly
towards them.
Radio-controlled models should only be flown in “normal” weather conditions, i.e. a temperature range of -5° to
+35°C. More extreme temperatures can lead to changes in battery capacity, material characteristics, the
strength of glued joints and other unwanted effects.
All model flyers should behave in a way which minimises the danger to people and property. Never act in any
manner which will disturb other pilots, or have an adverse effect on safe, orderly flying at the site.
Don’t operate your model in the vicinity of overhead power cables, industrial sites, residential areas, public
roads, squares, school playgrounds, public parks or sports fields etc.
Don’t ignore our warnings. They refer to hazardous materials and processes which, if ignored, can result in fatal
injury or serious damage to property.
Every time you intend to fly the model, check carefully that all parts connected to it are working correctly,
