This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time.
However, the work which you have to carry out is important and must be done
carefully. The model will only be strong and fly well if you complete your tasks
competently - so please work slowly and accurately.
Note regarding the film covering
Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the film covering due to major fluctuations
in weather conditions (temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases you may even find a
slight warp in a component. These minor faults are in the nature of film-covered built-
up wooden structures, and can easily be corrected using a heat gun, as commonly
used for modelling.
Creases:
Blow warm air over the area and rub down with a soft cloth.
Wing warp:
Hold the panel twisted gently in the opposite direction to the warp,
and apply warm air to remove the creases from the covering.
Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely necessary. If the air or the
iron is too hot, the film may melt and holes may be formed.
When self-tapping screws have to be screwed into wood, apply a little white
glue to prevent them shaking loose: just squirt white glue into the hole and fit
the screw.
Operating the BELLANCA
Be sure to read right through the operating and assembly instructions before
you attempt to fly the model for the first time. You alone are responsible for the
safe operation of your radio-controlled model. Young persons under fourteen
years should only be permitted to operate this model under the instruction and
supervision of an adult who is aware of the hazards involved in this activity.
Please keep these operating instructions in a safe place. If you ever dispose of
the model, be sure to pass them on to the new owner. If you have any
questions regarding the safe operation of your RC model aeroplane, 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 extremely demanding and potentially
dangerous objects, and require a high level of expertise, skill and
responsibility from the operator.
In legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to
legal regulations and restrictions which must be observed at all times. 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.
