Make sure you read this safety information and the instructions before
building your model. Follow exactly the recommended procedures and
settings given in the instructions.
This model is suitable for experience RC pilots only.
Safety Information
Radio-controlled models are not toys in the usual sense, and young people
under 14 years of age should not operate them unless supervised by an
experienced adult. It is advised not to operate model multicopters, model
helicopters, model aircraft or model boats commercially without ofcial
permission. But you are allowed to operate them for sports and recreational
purposes, sometimes authorisation from the local council may be required to
use a model in certain locations .
The building and operating of models requires technical expertise, manual
skill, a careful attitude and use of safety-conscious behavior. Errors,
negligence and omissions in building or ying these models can result in
serious personal injury or damage to property. Changes to the construction
and deviating from the operating manual will invalidate any warranty or
liability claims.
Since the manufacturers and vendors of the equipment have no means of
checking that your models are built and operated correctly, we explicitly bring
your attention to these risks and deny all further liability.
A properly constructed model may still be dangerous if used
incorrectly. Never reach into rotating propellers / blades or other
moving parts as this may cause serious injuries. Note that motors,
controllers and exhaust systems can reach high temperatures during
operation. Avoid all contact with such parts.
The tools needed for assembly can also cause injuries. Even metal or plastic
parts which are broken or untrimmed can cause injuries. Adhesives and paints
may contain hazardous substances like solvents etc. Please observe the
manufacturer's information and wear safety equipment (goggles, gloves etc.)
when necessary. Rubber parts (e.g. rubber bands) may become old and brittle
and fail. Such parts have to be checked before use.
Keep well clear of the electric motors and all moving components
when the battery is connected. Mistakes happen and in spite of
all safety precautions and there is always a risk of damage and
injury from parts such as propellers or rotors. For example, by you may
unintentionally move the throttle stick on the transmitter during setup. Also
ensure that other hazards such as pets are not able to come in contact with
moving parts!
Never y a model aircraft, helicopter or multicopter at eye level
directly in line with other people/animals as this will increase the
risk of injury. Always keep yourself at a safe distance from your
model and pay particular attention while take-off and landing for obstacles.
Observe the instructions of the battery and charger manufacturer.
Use only recommended battery chargers and recharge your battery
only until the specied charging time/level. Excess or incorrect
charging methods can lead to the battery exploding. Pay extra attention to
ensure correct polarity.
Protect your equipment from dust, dirt and moisture. Do not expose the
device to excessive heat, cold or vibration. The remote control operation may
be performed only within the specied temperature range, avoid unusually
hot/cold days.
Check your equipment regularly for damage and always replace damaged
components with original spare parts.
Don't re-use any equipment or devices which have been subject to crash or
water damage. Either return to the Service Department for repair or replace.
Hidden problems may occur after crash or water damage which can lead to
problems or total failure later in operation.
Use only recommended components and accessories. On remote control
systems no changes may be made.
Routine Pre-Flight Checks
• Before switching on the receiver, ensure that the throttle control on the
transmitter is in the motor stop position.
• Always switch on the transmitter rst and then the receiver.
• Always switch off the receiver rst, then the transmitter.
• Before use perform a range test.
• Check if the correct model memory is selected.
• Perform a function test before each use, ensuring to check the direction of
travel, movement and all other functions including mixing functions and
default switch positions.
• Ensure all batteries are fully charged.
Operating the Model
• Never y over or towards spectators or other pilots and maintain a safe
distance at all times.
• Never endanger people or animals!
• Never y close to high-tension overhead cables or populated areas.
• Do not operate your model in the vicinity of canals, locks or open
waterways.
• Do not operate your model from public roads, motorways, paths and
squares etc. Only at authorised spaces.
• Do not operate your models in thunderstorms as they could interfere with
the radio remote control systems.
Aerial Position
Never “point” the transmitter aerial straight at the model when in operation.
The signal generated by the transmitter is at its weakest in an imaginary line
extending straight from the aerial. It is always best for the pilot to stand in a
position where the long side of the aerial points towards the model.
Insurance
Ground-based models are usually covered by standard personal third-party
insurance policies. For ying models additional insurance is recommended.
Check your insurance policy that you are suitably covered and abode by its
guidelines.
