Operating the model

Caution - injury hazard:

Please keep your model helicopter a safe distance away 
from you and others, including other small co-axial and 
single-rotor models. Never fly over spectators, other pilots 
or yourself. Always fly manoeuvres facing away from other 
pilots and spectators. Please note that model helicopters 
generally, and aerobatic types in particular, are subject 
to enormous flight loads, and that interference cannot be 
ruled out even when you are using the best possible radio 
control system components. Operating this type of model 
calls for a responsible attitude and all possible safety pre-
cautions to protect pilots and spectators.

•  Never fly over spectators or other pilots, and maintain a safe 

distance from them at all times.

•  Never endanger people or animals. 
•  Never fly close to high-tension overhead cables or residential 

areas. 

•  Do not operate your model in the vicinity of canal locks or open 

waterways. 

•  Do  not  operate  your  model  from  public  roads,  motorways, 

paths and squares etc.; use authorised model flying sites only.

•  Never operate the model in stormy weather.

Never “point” the transmitter aerial straight at the model when 
operating it. The transmitter signal is at its weakest in this di-
rection. It is always best to stand with the long side of the aerial 
angled towards the model.

Insurance

Ground-based models are usually covered by standard personal 
third-party insurance policies. In order to fly model aircraft you 
will need to extend the cover of your existing policy, or take out 
specific insurance.

Check your insurance policy and take out new cover where 

necessary.

Liability exclusion:

robbe Modellsport is unable to ensure that you observe the as-
sembly and operating instructions, or the conditions and methods 
used for installing, operating and maintaining the model compo-
nents.
For this reason we accept no liability for loss, damage or costs 
which are due to the erroneous use and operation of our pro-
ducts, or are connected with such operation in any way.

Regardless of the legal argument employed, our obligation to 
pay compensation is limited to the invoice value of those robbe 
products directly involved in the event in which the damage oc-
curred, unless otherwise prescribed by law. This does not apply 
if the company is deemed to have unlimited liability according to 
statutory regulation due to deliberate or gross negligence.
