BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS
Please be sure to read the Safety Notes printed below.
It is essential to hand over these Safety Notes and the complete Building Instructions
to the new owner if you ever dispose of this model.
Safety notes
The modeller must have valid third-party insurance for flying this model. This
is now a legal requirement in many countries.
Before you start construction it is essential to read right through these building
and operating instructions very carefully. You alone are responsible for the
safe operation of your radio-controlled model. Young persons should only be
permitted to operate this model under the instruction and supervision of an
adult who is aware of the hazards involved in this activity.
In legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to
legal regulations and restrictions which must be observed at all times. Our
brochure "Modellflugrecht, Paragrafen und mehr" (Model Aviation Law, Legal
Requirements and more) is available under Order No. 8034.01, and contains a
summary of all these rules. Your local model shop should have a copy which
you can read. There are also Post Office regulations concerning your radio
control system, and these must be observed. Refer to your RC system
instructions for more details.
Be sure to use only those parts included in the kit, together with other genuine
Graupner accessories and replacement parts as recommended expressly by
us. Even if you change a single component you can no longer be sure that the
system will work reliably, and such changes also invalidate your guarantee.
Avoid short-circuits and reversed polarity.
The high energy density of rechargeable batteries involves a risk of fire and
even explosion.
A radio-controlled model aircraft can only work properly and fulfil your
expectations if it is built very carefully and in accordance with the building
instructions. If you wish to avoid injuring people and damaging property it is
essential to be careful and painstaking at all stages of building and operating
your model. Nobody would dream of climbing into a full-size glider and -
without appropriate training - attempting to fly it. Model flying is just such a
skill, and requires suitable training and plenty of practice.
As manufacturers we are not in a position to influence the way you build and
operate your RC model aircraft, and for this reason we deny all liability. All we
can do is expressly point out the hazards involved in this activity.
We suggest that you ask an experienced model flyer for help, or join a model
club or flight training school. Your local model shop and the specialist
magazines are excellent sources of information. If at all possible, it is always
best to join a club and fly at the approved model flying site.
