Controlling a model helicopter successfully is not easy; you will need persistence and

determination to learn the skills, and good hand-eye co-ordination is a basic require-

ment.

• 

• 

• 

• 

Before you attempt to fly the model you should study the subject of helicopters in

depth, so that you have a basic understanding of how the machines work. Read every-

thing you can on the theory of helicopters, and spend as much time as you can

watching other model helicopter pilots flying. Talk to chopper pilots, ask their advice,

and enrol at a specialist model flying school if you need to. Many model shops will

also be prepared to help you.

Please be sure to read right through these instructions before you start work on the

model. It is important that you clearly understand each individual stage of assembly

and the correct sequence of events before you begin building.

• 

• 

• 

• 

Don’t make modifications to the model’s construction by using parts other than those

specifically recommended, unless you are certain of the quality and suitability of

these other parts for the task.

We have made every effort to point out to you the dangers inherent in operating this

model helicopter. Since neither we, the manufacturer, nor the model shop that sold

you the kit have any influence over the way you build and operate your model, we are

obliged to disclaim any liability in connection with it.

Liability exclusion / Compensation

As manufacturers, we at GRAUPNER are not in a position to influence the way you build

and set up the model, nor how you 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 use and operation of our prod-

ucts, 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 in-

voice value of that quantity of GRAUPNER products which was immediately and directly

involved in the event which caused the damage. This does not apply if GRAUPNER is

found to be subject to unlimited liability according to binding legal regulation on account

of deliberate or gross negligence.
