Building and flying the DIAMANT
Before you start building:
It is important to install the RC components and control linkages in the model at the
appropriate stage of construction. In most cases it is very difficult or even impossible to fit
these components at a later stage.
If you intend buying a new radio control system for your model, ensure that the transmitter
and receiver are designed for model aircraft use, are type-approved and are licensed by
your national Post Office authority.
The frequency bands which we use for radio control systems are shared by other radio
equipment and radio frequency apparatus. For this reason it is not possible to guarantee
that your RC system will not suffer interference in use.
In Germany a fee is payable to operate a radio control system for model aircraft on the
approved channels in the 35 MHz band, i.e. you must register your RC system with the
relevant Post Office authorities. This may not apply in the country in which you live; be
sure to check the situation before switching on.
For more information on this subject please enquire at your local Post Office, or ask at
your nearest model shop.
During construction
When handling adhesives and solvent-based materials it is important to observe the
safety notes and instructions supplied by the manufacturer. Many glues and solvents are
capable of causing injury and damage to materials if they are not used competently. Take
waste glue and paint to your local model shop or toxic waste collection centre.
Note that balsa knives, pins, etc. have sharp points and edges, and should be handled
carefully to avoid injury.
Take care to keep tools, adhesives and paints out of the reach of children.
A large, unobstructed working surface is a great advantage for all types of model-making.
If you are a relative beginner and are not sure of any process, ask an experienced
modeller for help.
Flying the model
Never fly your DIAMANT in a nature reserve or any other protected site. Please don't
disturb the animals and plants which live in the countryside.
Trees and bushes are the natural habitat of many birds, and also serve as nesting sites
and general protection for them.
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 fly 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 incompetent or incorrect use and operation
of our products, 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, damage 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.
