are incurred due to the incompetent or incorrect use 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, regardless of the legal argument
employed, is excluded. This includes personal injury, death, damage to buildings, damage due to
loss of business or turnover, interruption of business or other direct or indirect consequent damage
whose root cause was the operation of the model.
The total liability in all cases and under all circumstances is limited to the amount of money which
you actually paid for the model.
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 fly the model for the first time you must check whether your private third party liability
insurance policy covers you for operating model aircraft 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 terms
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.
•
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.
Care and maintenance
•
Clean the model carefully after every flight, and remove any dirt from the propeller. Clean the model and
RC components using suitable cleaning agents only. Ask your model shop for information.
•
If the model is not to be run for a considerable time it is important to clean and re-lubricate all the moving
parts.
Notes on completing the model
•
Before building the model it is important that you read the instructions right through to the end. Tools can
be dangerous; be aware of the hazards involved in using them.
•
Use cable of adequate cross-section, capable of carrying the currents which will flow when the model is
flying.
•
Before making any glued joints, be sure to clean the surfaces and remove all traces of grease. We
recommend sanding lightly, or wiping with a non-greasy cleaning agent. The same applies to surfaces to
