SaFetY precaUtlonS

General

• Read the Operating Manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
  • Familiarise yourself with all the instructions for flight operation.

This model is not a toy!

• This radio-controlled model aircraft not a toy. Learning how to control it correctly is a gradual process.
• Children under 14 years of age should be supervised by an adult.

If you are not yet proficient with model aircraft, we suggest you approach a more experienced model pilot or a model-making club about making your first flight attempts.

Flying a radio-controlled model aircraft a fascinating hobby. However, it has to be practised with the necessary caution and consideration.

A radio-controlled model aircraft can cause damage and injury in an uncontrolled flying mode, and the user is liable for any such incident.

As a manufacturer and distributor of the model, we have no influence on the correct handling and operation of the model.

Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when practising your hobby or take out a special insurance for model aircraft. The contact address for this is Deutscher Modellfliegerverband e.V. Rochusstr. 104 – 106, 53123 Bonn.

Only a well-maintained model will function properly. Only use approved spare parts and never improvise with any unsuitable items.

It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the model is functioning correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are tightened.

Keep the model well beyond the reach of small children. They may unintentionally activate the model and cause themselves injury with it, or they may put batteries and small parts into their mouths and swallow them.

Preparations

Never start flying before you have made sure of the following points:

• Pay attention to visible damage on the model, remote control, battery charger, and lithium battery.
- Ensure that the model is functioning correctly and that all screwed and plugged connections are fitted precisely and tightly.
- The flight battery must be fully charged and correspond to the correct voltage. Only use new/fresh batteries for the transmitter.

• Make sure that all servos respond correctly to the signals of the transmitter.
• Always check the radio operation before starting the model.

Flight operation

The model is primarily designed for indoor flights since its low weight and unstable flight position resulting from the construction type make it very susceptible to air movements.

Moreover, the components are not dust- and moisture-proof.

Do not fly any longer than one battery charge

Afterwards, the model must cool down for at least 5 minutes.

Then recharge the battery. Avoid deep discharge in any case.

General information

• If you have little or no experience with model aircraft you should practice with a flight simulation program first.
- Ask experienced model pilots for advice with the fine settings of your model aircraft.
• Familiarise yourself with the control functions of your trnasmitter.

• Start your first flights, standing behind the model and looking in the flight direction. In this case, the control reaction equals the controlling direction.
• Also familiarise yourself with the movements of the model, when it flies towards you (response opposite to the control direction)!

It is best to fly only in closed rooms

• With sufficient free space in all directions
- On flat ground
• Without standing (furniture) or moving obstacles (persons, animals)
• In rooms without air draught

If you want to fly outdoors, do this

• Only when there is no wind

Do not fly

• If you are exhausted or your reaction is impaired in any way.
• At wind-force 1 or greater.
- Keep your model away from high-voltage cables or radio masts. Never use the model in lightning storms. Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your remote controlling transmitter.
- Near any obstacles such as buildings, furniture, persons and animals.
- On public roads

Propeller

• Damaged propeller blades must be replaced! Do not try to repair!
• Keep away from the propellers, as soon as the battery is connected.

- Avoid presence in the plane of rotation of the propellers. Do not operate the model while seated, so that you can rapidly get out of the hazardous area if necessary.

Employ exclusively the enclosed battery charger

• Operate the battery charger only on fire resistant surfaces and
- Also place the rechargeable battery/the model on an inflammable surface while charging.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation while charging.

• Never leave the battery charger unattended while charging.
• Only use rechargeable batteries of the same build and capacity.
- Observe correct polarity when charging

Never subject the transmitter, the rechargeable batteries and the model to adverse ambient conditions!

These are, for instance:

• Wetness, too-high humidity (> 75% rel., condensing). Do not touch the battery charger with wet hands.
• Never operate the model right after it has been brought from cold into warm surroundings. The resulting condensation can destroy the device. Permit the device to attain the ambient temperature while unconnected.
  • Dust and flammable gases, vapours or solvents, benzenes
• Too-high ambient temperatures (> about +40°C), direct sunlight
• Open fire, ignition sources
  • Mechanical stress such as shock, vibration
  • Strong contamination
  • Strong electromagnetic fields (motors or transformers) or electrostatic fields (charges)
• Transmitters (radio telephones, transmitters for model building, etc.). Transmitter emission can lead to the malfunction of charging or to destruction of the battery charger and thereby also of the rechargeable battery.

Permit the battery charger to cool down between charging operations. Disconnect the battery charger from the mains when charging is completed.

A defective battery charger must no longer be operated. If it is assumed that the device is defective, i.e. if

• The device shows visible damage,
• The device no longer works and
• After longer storage under unfavourable conditions or
• After severe transportation stress, it must be switched off without delay and secured against unintentional operation.

Dispose of the unusable (irreparable) battery charger according to the applicable statutory regulations.

For safety and registration reasons (CE), the unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the battery charger is not permitted.

Lithium-polymer battery

Use the enclosed rechargeable battery for this model only.

Only use a genuine part as a replacement battery.

• Do not overcharge or deep-discharge the battery! Both can cause electrolyte to leak and lead to self-ignition.
• Never mix fully charged rechargeable batteries/batteries with half-charged ones or rechargeable batteries with different capacities.
• Charge the LiPo battery at least every six months in order to avoid deep discharge.
• Remove the charged battery from the battery charger in order to avoid self-discharge.

Defective rechargeable batteries/rechargeable batteries that can no longer be charged must be disposed of as hazardous waste (collection points). Disposal in the household waste is forbidden!
