WARNING!
Operating a model aircraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any circumstances.
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and mental faculties. This applies both
to the operator and to his or her assistants.
WARNING!
Radio-controlled model aircraft may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer. They must
never be used as machines for carrying people or goods, nor for any other purpose except as model aircraft.
Misuse of this model may result in serious personal injury or even death.
WARNING!
It is important not to make any modifications of any kind to the model. If you deviate from the instructions,
perhaps by using different components or materials, or by making changes to the structural design, you may
seriously affect the ability of the model aircraft to function correctly. Please resist the temptation, and build the
model exactly as directed.
WARNING!
Before you fly the model it is essential to check the Centre of Gravity and the control surface travels, as stated in
these instructions. These settings are very important, and our recommended values must be observed. Before you
fly the model, carry out a careful check of all the working functions and all the control surfaces. Check the range
of the radio control system with the transmitter aerial collapsed. If the check is satisfactory, repeat it with the
engine running, while an assistant holds the model securely. Read the instructions supplied with your radio
control system and make sure that you observe the manufacturer’s recommendations.
LIABILITY EXCLUSION AND DAMAGES
You have acquired a kit which can be assembled into a fully working RC model when fitted out with
suitable accessories, as described in the building instructions in the kit. However, as manufacturers, we at
Graupner are not in a position to influence the way you build and operate your model, and we have no
control over the methods you use to 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 application and operation of our products, 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 is excluded, regardless of the legal argument employed. This applies to
personal injury, death, damage to buildings, loss of turnover and business, interruption of business or
other direct and indirect consequent damages. In all circumstances our total liability is limited to the
amount which you actually paid for this model!
BY OPERATING THIS MODEL YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS.
It is important to understand that GRAUPNER is unable to monitor whether you keep to the instructions
contained in this operating manual regarding the construction, operation and maintenance of the aircraft, nor
whether you install and use the radio control system correctly. For this reason we at GRAUPNER are unable to
guarantee or provide a contractual agreement with any individual or company that the model you have made will
function correctly and safely. You, as operator of the model, must rely upon your own expertise and judgement
in acquiring and operating this model.
SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY NOTES
Pre-flight checking
Before every session check that all the model’s working systems function correctly, and be sure to carry out a
range check. This is the procedure: switch on the transmitter, followed by the receiver. Leave the transmitter
aerial collapsed and walk away from the model. At the appropriate range check that all the control surfaces work
perfectly when you move the sticks.
Repeat the procedure with the engine running, while an assistant holds the model securely.
The first time you fly any new model aircraft we strongly recommend that you enlist the help of an experienced
modeller to help you check the model and offer advice while you are flying. He should be capable of detecting
potential weak points and errors.
Be certain to keep to the recommended CG position and control surface travels; if adjustments are required,
carry them out - don’t just “make do”.
