Important Safety Notes
You have acquired a kit which can be assembled into a fully working RC model when fitted out with suitable
accessories. However, we as manufacturers have no control over the way you build and operate your RC model
aircraft, nor how you install, operate and maintain the associated components, and for this reason we are
obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the incorrect use of our products
or due to incompetent behaviour on the part of the user, 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, damages 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.
According to the new regulation of §103 Paragraph 3 of the LuftVZO (German Aviation Approvals Office), all
model aircraft - whether slow-flyer, park-flyer, glider, or model aircraft propelled by any form of power plant -
must be insured before the model is operated. If you are not sure about this, please ask at your local model
shop where the staff will be glad to advise you.
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.
The following points are important and must be observed at all times:
This model is not suitable for young persons under 16 years of age. Young people under this age may
•
safely operate the model, but only under the supervision of an adult or guardian.
All model flyers must behave in such a way that there is no danger of them endangering or adversely
•
affecting public safety and order, and especially other people and property.
The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and mental faculties. As with car
•
driving, operating a model aircraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permissible under any
circumstances.
If you have any questions regarding the safe operation of your RC model aeroplane, please turn to your
•
local model shop in the first instance, as the staff will be pleased to help you.
Radio-controlled model aircraft are extremely demanding and potentially dangerous objects, and require a
•
high level of expertise, skill and responsibility from the operator.
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. 8034.02, 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.
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 climb into a full-size aircraft and try to fly it without undergoing training beforehand, and model flying
is a skill which also needs to be learned. 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.
If you are flying a model aircraft for the first time we strongly recommend that you ask an experienced
•
modeller to check the aeroplane first and be ready to help you during the first few flights.
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.
Always read and observe the safety notes supplied with the batteries and the charger when using and
•
charging LiPo batteries.
Never fly the model close to high-tension overhead cables, industrial areas, residential areas, public roads,
•
squares, school playgrounds, parks and playing fields etc.
If there are passers-by or spectators at your flying site, make sure that they are aware of the dangers
•
inherent in your activity before you start the motor, and insist that they keep a safe distance away - at least
5 m behind the propeller plane.
