Don’t ignore our warnings. They refer to materials and situations which, if ignored, can result in fatal injury or
permanent damage.
Propellers and other rotating parts which are powered by a motor constitute a permanent hazard and
represent a real risk of injury. Don’t touch them with any part of your body. For example, a propeller spinning
at high speed can easily cut your finger badly.
Keep well clear of the rotational plane of the propeller. You never know when some part may come loose and
fly off at high speed, hitting you or anybody else in the vicinity. Never touch the revolving propeller with any
object.
Ensure that it is impossible for any object to stall or block the propeller.
Every time you intend to operate your model check carefully that it and everything attached to it (e.g.
propeller, RC components etc.) is in good condition and undamaged. If you find a fault, do not fly the model
until you have corrected it.
Satisfy yourself that your frequency is vacant before you switch on. Radio interference caused by unknown
sources can occur at any time without warning. If this should happen, your model will be uncontrollable and
completely unpredictable. Never leave your radio control system unguarded, as another person might pick it
up and try to use it.
Do not switch on the electric motor unless you are sure that there is nothing in the rotational plane of the
propeller. Never attempt to stop the spinning propeller. Electric motors with the propeller attached should
only be run when firmly mounted.
If you are to fly your model safely and avoid problems, it is essential that you are aware of its position and
attitude throughout each flight - so don’t let it fly too far away! If you detect a control problem or interference
during a flight, immediately land the model to prevent a potential accident. Models must always give way to
full-size aircraft. Take-off and landing strips should be kept free of people and other obstacles.
Your RC system can only work reliably if the batteries are kept fully charged.
Never use batteries which are hot, faulty or damaged. At all times heed the instructions provided by the
battery manufacturer.
Before each flight check that all functions on the model aircraft are working correctly, and that the radio
control system is in good order and operating at full range.
Note that the motor control (throttle) function on the transmitter must always be moved to the OFF position as
the first stage in preparing for a flight. To avoid the danger of the electric motor bursting into life
unexpectedly, always switch on the transmitter first, and only then the receiving system. The opposite
applies at the end of a flight: always switch off the receiving system first, and finally the transmitter.
Check that the control surfaces follow the movement of the transmitter sticks.
After each flying session remove the battery from the model and store it at a temperature of 5° to
+25°C. Batteries must be stored in the discharged state, and well out of the reach of children.
Please don’t misunderstand the purpose of these notes. We only want to make you aware of the many
dangers and hazards which can arise if you work carelessly or irresponsibly. If you take reasonable care,
model flying is a highly creative, instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pastime.
Liability Exclusion
We as manufacturers have no control over the way you build and operate your RC model aircraft, nor how
you install, operate and maintain the associated components, and for this reason we are obliged to deny all
liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the incorrect use of our products or due to
incompetent behaviour on the part of the user, or which are connected with such operation in any way.
Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the GRAUPNER company to pay compensation,
regardless of the legal argument employed, is limited to the invoice value of that quantity of Graupner
products which was immediately involved in the event in which the damage occurred. This does not apply if
Graupner is found to have unlimited liability under statutory law due to wilful or gross negligence.
