Applicable law
This declaration, and the claims, rights and obligations arising from it, are based
exclusively on the pertinent German Law, excluding the norms of international private
law, and excluding UN retail law.
The following points are important and must be observed at all times:
• Before you fly the model, check that the radio control system is working reliably,
and that all connections are secure.
• If you are using dry cells as a power supply, remember that they must not be re-
charged. Only batteries marked specifically as “rechargeable” can safely be re-
charged.
• The batteries must be charged and the range of the radio control system must be
checked before you operate the model. In particular, the radio control system
batteries must be charged before each session and checked before every flight.
• Ensure that the channel you intend to use is not already in use by other modellers.
Never fly the model if you are not certain that your channel is free.
• Read and observe the instructions and recommendations provided by the
manufacturer of your radio control system and accessory components.
• Ensure that the servos are not mechanically obstructed at any point in their travel.
• Dry cells and rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited.
• Remove all batteries from the model prior to transporting and storing it.
• Do not subject the model to dirty or cold conditions, or high levels of humidity or
heat.
• Secure the model and your RC equipment carefully when transporting them. They
may be seriously damaged if they are free to slide about.
Pre-flight checks
Check that the radio control system works correctly and at full range before every
flight: switch on the transmitter and the receiving system, fit the transmitter aerial and
extend it to its full length; walk away from the model, and check that all the control
surfaces work smoothly and immediately at an appropriate distance; check also that
they deflect in the correct “sense” in relation to the stick movements.
Repeat the check with the engine or motor running, while a friend holds the model
securely for you.
If you are a relative beginner to this type of model flying, we recommend that you
enlist an experienced model pilot to help you check and test-fly the model.
Care and maintenance
• Clean the model carefully after every flight, and remove any dirt from the propeller.
Clean the aeroplane and the RC components using suitable cleaning agents only.
Ask your model shop for information if you are not sure.
• If the model is not to be operated for a considerable time it is important to clean
and re-lubricate all the moving parts.
