Environmental protection notes
The presence of this symbol on a product, in the user instructions or the packaging, means
that you must not dispose of that item in the ordinary domestic waste when the product
comes to the end of its useful life. The correct method of disposal is to take it to your local
collection point for recycling electrical and electronic equipment.
Individual markings indicate which materials can be recycled and re-used. You can make
an important contribution to the protection of our shared environment by re-using the
product, recycling the basic materials or re-processing redundant equipment in other ways.
Dry cells and rechargeable batteries must be removed from the device and taken separately to a
suitable battery disposal centre.
If you don’t know the location of your nearest disposal centre, please enquire at your local council
office.
Safety notes
Before you fly the model for the first time it is essential (and a legal requirement) to take out an
insurance policy designed to cover modelling risks.
Be sure to read right through the instructions covering assembly and operation of your model
before you attempt to operate it for the first time. You alone are responsible for the safe
operation of your radio-controlled model aeroplane. Young people should only be permitted to
build and fly this model under the instruction and supervision of an adult who is aware of the
hazards involved in flying an RC model aircraft.
In legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to statutory
regulations and restrictions which must be observed. 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.
It is important 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 whole system will work reliably, and
such changes also invalidate your guarantee.
Avoid short circuits and reverse polarity at all times.
The high energy density of rechargeable batteries involves a permanent 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. Nobody would climb into a
full-size sailplane and try to fly it without first completing a course of training. Model flying is
just such a skill, and has to be learned in exactly the same way.
However, as manufacturers we have no means of influencing the way you build and operate
your RC model aircraft, and for this reason we can do no more than point out the hazards
expressly. We accept no further liability.
