not presented until after this period, then the consumer forfeits any rights or claims
from this declaration.
Limitation by lapse of time
If we do not acknowledge the validity of a claim based on this declaration within the
claim period, all claims based on this declaration are barred by the statute of
limitations after six months from the time of implementation; however, this cannot
occur before the end of the claim period.
Applicable law
This declaration, and the claims, rights and obligations arising from it, are based
exclusively 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
batteries 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
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.
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.
