This model is built and flown at the sole and express responsibility of the
operator. The only way to avoid injury to persons and damage to property is to
handle and operate the model with the greatest care and consideration at all
times.
Before you operate the model for the first time, please check that your private third-
party liability insurance policy covers you for the operation of models of this type. If
you are not sure, take out a special policy designed to cover modelling risks.
These safety notes must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be
sure to pass them on to the new owner.
Guarantee conditions
The guarantee covers replacement of any parts which can be shown to exhibit
manufacturing faults or material defects within the guarantee period of 24
months from the initial date of purchase. No other claims will be considered.
Cost of transport, packing and freight are payable by the purchaser. We accept
no liability for damage in transit. When you send the product to GRAUPNER, or
to the approved Service Centre for your country, you must include a clear and
concise description of the fault together with the invoice showing the date of
purchase. The guarantee is invalid if the component or model fails due to an
accident, incompetent handling or incorrect usage.
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
batteries must be fully charged before each session and checked before each
flight.
•
Ensure that the channel you intend to use is not already in use by other
modellers. Never fly the model if you are not certain that your channel is free.
•
Read and observe the instructions and recommendations provided by the
manufacturer 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.
Pre-flight checks
Check that the radio control system is working correctly and at full range before every
flight: fit the transmitter aerial and extend it fully, then switch on the transmitter and
the receiving system. Walk away from the model, and check that all the control
surfaces work smoothly and immediately at an appropriate distance, and deflect in
the correct “sense” (direction) relative to the stick movements.
