• The model is designed for the components specified by us. Unless
otherwise stated, servos and other electronic components are designed
for standard supply voltage. Recommended cell count for Lipo batteries
also refers to standard Lipos voltage of 3.7V per cell. If you use other
servos, a different motor and controller, batteries, or propellers, please
make sure they fit first. In the event of deviations, corrections and
adjustments must be made by yourself.
• Before starting construction, always put the servos into neutral. To do this,
switch on the remote control and move the joysticks and trim buttons
(save the one for the throttle) to the middle position. Connect the servos
to the corresponding outputs of the receiver and supply them with a
suitable power source. Please observe the connection diagram and the
operating instructions of the remote control system manufacturer.
• Do not leave your model in the blazing sun or in your vehicle for long
periods of time. Too high temperatures can lead to deformation/distortion
of plastic parts or blistering of covering foils.
• Before the first flight, check the wing symmetry, tail unit and fuselage. All
parts of the model should have the same spacing from the left and right
wing or tail plane to the centre of the fuselage or the same angle.
• If necessary, rebalance the propellers if vibrations are noticeable when the
motor is running up.
• Bubble formation in the covering foils normal to a certain extent due to
temperature and humidity differences and can be easily eliminated with a
foil iron or hairdryer.
• For models in shell construction („full GFRP/CFRP"), burrs may occur at
the seams due to the production process. Carefully remove them with fine
sandpaper or a file.

• Be sure to read the safety instructions carefully before operating your
model.
• Always follow the procedures and settings recommended in the
instructions.
• If you are using remote-controlled model aircraft, helicopters, cars or ships
for the first time, we recommend that you ask an experienced model pilot
for help.
• Remote-controlled models are not toys in the usual sense and may only be
used and operated by young people under 14 years of age under the
supervision of adults.
Their construction and operation requires technical understanding,
•
careful craftsmanship and safety-conscious behaviour.
• Mistakes or negligence during construction, flying or driving can result
in considerable damage to property or personal injury.
• Since the manufacturer and seller have no influence on the proper
construction/assembly and operation of the models, these risks are
expressly pointed out and any liability is excluded.
• Propellers on aircraft and all moving parts in general pose a constant risk of
injury. Avoid touching such parts at all costs.
• Note that motors and controllers can reach high temperatures during
operation. Avoid touching such parts at all costs.
• Never stay in the danger area of rotating parts with electric motors with
connected drive battery.
• Overcharging or incorrect charging can cause the batteries to explode.
Make sure the polarity is correct.
• Protect your equipment and Models from dust, dirt and moisture. Do not
expose the equipment to excessive heat, cold or vibration.
• Use only recommended chargers and charge your batteries only up to the
specified charging time. Always check your equipment for damage and
replace defects with original spare parts.
• Do not use equipment that has been damaged or got wet due to a fall, even
if it is dry again! Either have it checked by your specialist dealer or in the
Robbe Service or have it replaced. Hidden faults can occur due to wetness
or a crash, which lead to a functional failure after a short operating time.

• Only the components and accessories recommended by us may be used.
• Do not make any changes to the remote control which are not described in
these instructions.

• Observe the technical data of the controller.
• Observe the polarity of all connection cables.
• Avoid short circuits at all costs.
• Install or package the regulator so that it cannot come into contact with
grease, oil or water.
• Ensure adequate air circulation.
• Never reach into the turning circle of the propeller during start-up Risk of
injury
Important information:
The receiver system is powered by the built-in BEC system of the controller.
For commissioning, always move the throttle stick to the „Motor off" position
and switch on the transmitter. Only then connect the battery. To switch off
always disconnect the connection battery motor controller, first
then turn off the transmitter. During the functional test, move the servos of
the rudders to neutral position with the remote control (stick and trimming
lever on the transmitter to the middle position). Please make sure to leave
the throttle stick in the lowest position so that the engine does not start. For
all work on
to the parts of the remote control, motor or controller, follow the
instructions supplied with the units. Also read the instructions of the battery
and the charger carefully before commissioning.
Check the engine mounting bolts in the fuselage regularly for tightness.

Attention, danger of injury!
• Always keep a safe distance from your model aircraft.
• Never fly over spectators, other pilots or yourself.
• Always perform flight figures in a direction away from the pilot or
spectators.
• Never endanger people or animals.
• Never fly near power lines or residential areas.
• Do not operate your model near locks or public shipping.
• Do not operate your model on public roads, motorways, paths and squares,
etc., but only in approved locations.
• Do not operate the model in thunderstorms.
• Before each flight, check your remote control system for sufficient function
and range.
• After flying, remove all batteries from the model.
Do not „aim" the transmitter antenna at the model during operation. In this
direction, the transmitter has the lowe-st radiation. The best position of the
antenna is to the side of the model.
Use of devices with image and/or sound recording function:
If you equip your model with a video or image recording device (e.g. FPV
cameras, action scams etc.) or the model is already equipped with such a
device at the factory, please note that you could violate the privacy of one or
more persons by using the recording function. An overflight or driving on
private ground without the appropriate permission of the owner or
approaching private ground can also be regarded as an invasion of privacy.
You, as the operator of the model, are solely and fully responsible for your
actions.
In particular, all applicable legal requirements must be observed, which can be
found in the roof associations or the relevant authorities. Failure to comply
can result in substantial penalties.
