Note: This model is not a toy!
If you do not have experience with such motorised models, please ask experienced
model flyers for help. If the model is operated without the proper knowledge, injuries
can result. Think of your health and safety!
Important! Before you start the assembly!
Even if you have already built lots of RC models, read these instructions through
carefully. A lot of effort was made to keep things as simple as possible without
neglecting safety.
Check for correct functioning and range before every flight. At an appropriate
distance, make sure that all the control surfaces are working properly and deflecting
in the correct direction.
The first time you control a model aircraft, it is best to ask an experienced person to
help you with the pre-flight check and during the first few flights.
RC parts and rudder linkages are built in during assembly as per the corresponding
construction stages. Later installation is not possible – or only with great difficulty.
When buying a radio remote control unit, make sure that transmitter and receiver are
suited for aircraft models and are approved by the German postal and
telecommunications authority, and that they have an FTZ inspection serial number.
In the frequency ranges for radio remote controls, other radio systems and high-
frequency equipment are operated. Therefore, no protection can be provided against
interference by such devices.
Additional information on this topic can be obtained from the local office of the
telecommunications authority or from a model shop.
Note on the covering sheet
As a result of intense weather changes (temperature, humidity, et cetera), small
creases can form in the covering sheet. In rare cases, the components can even be
warped. This lies in the nature of wood construction with covering sheet. This can be
corrected as follows using a hair dryer or foil iron like those available to model
builders.
Creases:
Blow with hot air and rub with a soft cloth.
Warped wings:
Gently twist the area against the direction of warping and smooth it
out again using an iron or hot air.
