tions after six months from the time of implementation; however, this cannot occur

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.
•
If you intend to use dry cells as a power supply, please note that they must never
be recharged. Only cells marked as ‘rechargeable’ are safe to re-charge.
•
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 charged before each session and checked before every flight.
•
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.
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 sur-
faces work smoothly and immediately at an appropriate distance, and deflect in the
correct ‘sense’ (direction) relative to the stick movements.
Repeat the check with the engine running, while a friend holds the model securely for
you.
If you are a relative beginner to model flying, we recommend that you enlist the aid of
an experienced model pilot to help you check and test-fly the model.
Care and maintenance
•
Clean the model carefully after every flight, and remove any dirt from the propel-
ler. Clean the aeroplane and the RC components using suitable cleaning agents
only. Ask your model shop for information if you are not sure.
•
If the model is not to be operated for a considerable time it is important to clean
and re-lubricate all the moving parts.
