Applicable law
This declaration, and the claims, rights and obligations arising from it, are based ex-
clusively 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.
•
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 bat-
teries must be fully charged before each session.
•
Ensure that the channel you intend to use is not already in use by other model-
lers. Never fly the model if you are not certain that your channel is free.
•
Read and observe the instructions and recommendations provided by the manu-
facturer 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,.
•
IMPORTANT:
when the flight battery is exhausted, you must not dispose of it in
the household waste. Take the pack to your local battery reclamation centre.
IMPORTANT:
when the useful life of the model and the transmitter are over, do
not discard them in the domestic rubbish. The electric and electronic components
in particular must be taken to your nearest electrical recycling centre. Ask your
local authority if you are not sure of its location.
Pre-flight checks
Check that the radio control system works correctly and at full range before every
flight: switch on the transmitter and the receiving system, and extend the transmitter
aerial to its full length; walk away from the model, and check that all the control sur-
faces work smoothly and immediately at an appropriate distance; check also that
they deflect in the correct “sense” in relation to the stick movements.
If you are a relative beginner to this type of model flying, we recommend that you
enlist an experienced model pilot to help you check and test-fly the model.
Care and maintenance
•
Clean the model carefully after every session. The model and RC components
should only be cleaned using suitable cleaning agents. Ask your model shop for
information.
