GRAUPNER ACRO MAXIE Instructions De Montage page 16

Use only matching polarised electrical connectors. The flight battery, all cables and connectors
must be insulated carefully to prevent short-circuits, especially if you make them up yourself.
Never combine connectors with contacts of different materials, e.g. tin-plated and gold-plated,
as the connections will not be reliable in the long-term.
If you wish to use a BEC motor switch or speed controller (with integral receiver power
supply), use only Graupner gold-contact connectors.
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 climb into a full-size sailplane and try to fly
it without undergoing training beforehand, and model flying is a skill which also needs to be
learned.
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.
Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health under certain
circumstances. Read and observe the notes and warnings supplied by the manufacturer of
these materials.
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 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 rotational plane of the propeller.
Always keep a safe distance from people and objects when flying; never fly low over people's
heads, and never fly directly towards them.
Radio-controlled models should only be flown in "normal" weather conditions, i.e. a
temperature range of -5° to +35° C. More extreme temperatures can lead to changes in battery
capacity and material characteristics, weakened glued joints and other unwanted effects.
All model flyers should behave in a way that minimises the danger to people and property.
Never act in any manner which will disturb other flyers, and jeopardise safe, orderly flying at
the site.
Never operate your model aircraft close to high-tension overhead cables, industrial sites,
residential areas, public roads, squares, school playgrounds, public parks or sports grounds
etc.
Pre-flight checks
Check that all the working systems are functioning correctly before each flight: switch on the
transmitter, followed by the receiver. Extend the transmitter aerial to full length and check that
all the control surfaces on the model follow the stick movements, and in the correct "sense"
(direction).
Ask a friend to hold the model for you, and repeat the check with the motor running.
