Approved usage
The model is approved exclusively for use within the modelling hobby. It is prohibited to use the model for any other
purpose than that stated. The operator of the model, and not the manufacturer, is responsible for damage or injury of
any kind resulting from non-approved use.
The model may only be operated in conjunction with those accessories which we expressly recommend. The rec-
ommended components have undergone thorough testing, are an accurate match to the model, and ensure that it
functions safely. If you use other components, or modify the model, you operate it at your own risk, and any claim
under guarantee is invalidated.
To minimise the risk when operating the model, please observe the following points:
l The model is guided using a radio control system. No radio control system is immune to radio interference,
and such interference may result in loss of control of the model for a period of time. To avoid collisions, you
must therefore ensure at all times that there is a wide margin of safety in all directions when operating your
model. At the slightest sign of radio interference you must cease operating your model!
l Never operate your model until you have successfully completed a thorough check of the working systems,
and carried out a range-check as stipulated in the instructions supplied with your transmitter.
l The model may only be fl own in conditions of good visibility. You can avoid being temporarily blinded by not
fl ying towards the sun, or in other diffi cult light conditions.
l A model must never be operated by a person who is under the infl uence of alcohol, drugs or medication which
have an adverse effect on visual acuity and reaction time.
l Only fl y your model in conditions of wind and weather in which you are able to maintain full control of the
model. Even when the wind is light, bear in mind that turbulence can form at and around objects which may
have an effect on the model.
l Never fl y in any location where you may endanger yourself of others, e.g. close to residential areas, overhead
cables, open roads and railway lines.
l Never fl y towards people or animals. You may think that fl ying low over other people's heads is proof of your
piloting skill, but all it does is place others at unnecessary risk. It is in all our interests that you let other pilots
