Before starting construction, read these instructions carefully and proceed
step by step during building. Then nothing unexpected can happen.
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU START ASSEMBLING THE MODEL.
FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS
· Before the first flight, observe the instructions in the ,,Safety
Instructions” section. · When flying the model, you should choose a day with
as little wind as possible · A large, flat area without obstacles (trees,
fences power lines etc.) is suitable for the first flights. · Please carry out
a functional test of the drive train / power set and remote control. · After
assembling the model on the airfield, check once again that all model
components such as wing, tail
units, wing mounts, engine, linkages, etc. are firmly and properly fastened. ·
For a hand start a helper should be present, who can throw the model with
enough thrust into the air. · The start usually takes place against the wind.
· Do not stall the model near the ground · Do not initiate tight turns in the
immediate vicinity of the ground. · Check the reactions of the model to the
rudder deflections. If necessary, adjust after landing to increase or
decrease the deflections accordingly. · The minimum flight speed must be at an
adequate safety altitude. · Initiate the landing with sufficient speed
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
· Be sure to read the safety instructions carefully before operating your
model. · Always follow the procedures and settings recommended in the
instructions. · If you are using remote-controlled model aircraft,
helicopters, cars or ships for the first time, we recommend that
you ask an experienced model pilot for help. · Remote-controlled models are
not toys in the usual sense and may only be used and operated by young peo-
ple under 14 years of age under the supervision of adults. · Their
construction and operation requires technical understanding, careful
craftsmanship and safety-conscious
behaviour. · Mistakes or negligence during construction, flying or driving can
result in considerable damage to property or
personal injury. · Since the manufacturer and seller have no influence on the
proper construction/assembly and operation of the
models, these risks are expressly pointed out and any liability is excluded. ·
Propellers on aircraft and all moving parts in general pose a constant risk of
injury. Avoid touching such parts at
all costs. · Note that motors and controllers can reach high temperatures
during operation. Avoid touching such parts at
all costs. · Never stay in the danger area of rotating parts with electric
motors with connected drive battery. · Overcharging or incorrect charging can
cause the batteries to explode. Make sure the polarity is correct. · Protect
your equipment and Models from dust, dirt and moisture. Do not expose the
equipment to excessive
heat, cold or vibration. · Use only recommended chargers and charge your
batteries only up to the specified charging time. Always
check your equipment for damage and replace defects with original spare parts.
· Do not use equipment that has been damaged or got wet due to a fall, even if
it is dry again! Either have it
checked by your specialist dealer or in the Robbe Service or have it replaced.
Hidden faults can occur due to wetness or a crash, which lead to a functional
failure after a short operating time. · Only the components and accessories
recommended by us may be used. · Do not make any changes to the remote control
which are not described in these instructions.
SAFETY NOTE FOR MODEL OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
· The model is designed for the components specified by us. Unless otherwise
stated, servos and other electronic components are designed for standard
supply voltage. Recommended cell count for Lipo batteries also refers to
standard Lipos voltage of 3.7V per cell. If you use other servos, a different
motor and controller, batteries, or propellers, please make sure they fit
first. In the event of deviations, corrections and adjustments must be made by
yourself.
· Before starting construction, always put the servos into neutral. To do
this, switch on the remote control and move the joysticks and trim buttons
(save the one for the throttle) to the middle position. Connect the servos to
the corresponding outputs of the receiver and supply them with a suitable
power source. Please observe the connection diagram and the operating
instructions of the remote control system manufacturer.
· Do not leave your model in the blazing sun or in your vehicle for long
periods of time. Too high temperatures can lead to deformation/distortion of
plastic parts or blistering of covering foils.
· Before the first flight, check the wing symmetry, tail unit and fuselage.
All parts of the model should have the same spacing from the left and right
wing or tail plane to the centre of the fuselage or the same angle.
· If necessary, rebalance the propellers if vibrations are noticeable when the
motor is running up. · Bubble formation in the covering foils normal to a
certain extent due to temperature and humidity differences
and can be easily eliminated with a foil iron or hairdryer. · For models in
shell construction (,,full GFRP/CFRP”), burrs may occur at the seams due to
the production pro-
cess. Carefully remove them with fine sandpaper or a file.

Attention, danger of injury! · Always keep a safe distance from your model
aircraft. · Never fly over spectators, other pilots or yourself. · Always
perform flight figures in a direction away from the pilot or spectators. ·
Never endanger people or animals. · Never fly near power lines or residential
areas. · Do not operate your model near locks or public shipping. · Do not
operate your model on public roads, motorways, paths and squares, etc., but
only in approved loca-
tions. · Do not operate the model in thunderstorms. · Before each flight,
check your remote control system for sufficient function and range. · After
flying, remove all batteries from the model.
Do not ,,aim” the transmitter antenna at the model during operation. In this
direction, the transmitter has the lowest radiation. The best position of the
antenna is to the side of the model. Use of devices with image and/or sound
recording function: If you equip your model with a video or image recording
device (e.g. FPV cameras, action scams etc.) or the model is already equipped
with such a device at the factory, please note that you could violate the
privacy of one or more persons by using the recording function. An overflight
or driving on private ground without the appropriate permission of the owner
or approaching private ground can also be regarded as an invasion of privacy.
You, as the operator of the model, are solely and fully responsible for your
actions. In particular, all applicable legal requirements must be observed,
which can be found in the roof associations or the relevant authorities.
Failure to comply can result in substantial penalties.

INSTRUCTIONS AND USER MANUAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTROLLERS
· Observe the technical data of the controller. · Observe the polarity of all
connection cables. · Avoid short circuits at all costs. · Install or package
the regulator so that it cannot come into contact with grease, oil or water. ·
Effective interference suppression measures on the electric motor with, for
example, interference suppression
capacitors · Ensure adequate air circulation. · Never reach into the turning
circle of the propeller during start-up Risk of injury Dealing with model
aircraft and vehicles requires technical understanding and a high level of
safety awareness. Incorrect assembly, incorrect adjustment, improper use or
the like can lead to personal injury or damage to property. Sudden starting of
connected motors can lead to injuries due to rotating parts such as
propellers. Always stay away from these rotating parts when the power source
is connected. All drive components should be safely and securely mounted
during a function test.
Use is only permitted within the scope of the technical specification and only for RC hobby applications. Before use, check that the speed controller is compatible with your drive motor or power source. Never operate the speed controller (correct speed controller) with external power supply units. Speed controllers should always be protected from dust, moisture, vibration and other mechanical stresses. Even splash-proof or waterproof equipment should not be permanently exposed to moisture or moisture. High operating temperatures or poor cooling should be avoided. The recommended temperature range should be approximately between -5°C and +50°C. Ensure proper connection and do not cause reverse polarity which would permanently damage the speed controller. Never disconnect the device from the motor or battery during operation. Use high-quality plug systems with sufficient load capacity. Avoid strong bending or tensile stress on the connecting cables. After termination of flight or driving operation, disconnect the battery to prevent deep discharge of the battery. This would cause permanent damage.
For the BEC version of the controller, check that the BEC power of the device is sufficient for the servos used. Speed controllers should be installed as far away as possible from other remote control components. We recommend carrying out a range test before operation. We recommend regular checking of the controller for function and externally visible damage. Do not continue operating the controller if you notice any damage. The connection cables must not be extended. This can lead to unwanted malfunctions. Despite existing safety and protective devices of the device, damage may occur which is not covered by warranty. The warranty also expires if changes are made to the device.
Important information:
The receiver system is powered by the built-in BEC system of the
controller. For commissioning, always move the throttle stick to the ,,Motor
off” position and switch on the transmitter. Only then connect the battery. To
switch off always disconnect the connection battery motor controller, first
then turn off the transmitter. During the functional test, move the servos of
the rudders to neutral position with the remote control (stick and trimming
lever on the transmitter to the middle position). Please make sure to leave
the throttle stick in the lowest position so that the engine does not start.
For all work on to the parts of the remote control, motor or controller,
follow the instructions supplied with the units. Also read the instructions of
the battery and the charger carefully before commissioning. Check the engine
mounting bolts in the fuselage regularly for tightness.
All this can cause the battery to be damaged, explode or even catch fire! ·
Keep the battery away from children · Keep leaked electrolyte away from fire,
as it is highly flammable and may ignite. · The electrolyte liquid should not
get into the eyes, if it does, rinse immediately with plenty of clear water
and
then see a doctor. · The electrolyte liquid can also escape from clothes and
other objects with a lot of water or washed off. · Observe the safety
instructions of the battery manufacturer and the charger manufacturer.
