Safety Notes
These safety notes should be stored carefully together with
the building and operating instructions, and must be passed
on to the new owner if you ever dispose of the product. If you
lose the instructions, a duplicate set can be downloaded from
our website www.multiplex-rc.de at any time. Model
helicopters are not suitable for young persons under
sixteen years of age. Youngsters should only be allowed to
operate this type of model under the instruction and supervision
of an adult with the necessary expertise who is aware of the
hazards involved in the activity.
Model helicopters are not toys in the usual sense of the term,
as they cannot be flown successfully unless the basic skills
are learned first. If you are a beginner, we suggest that you
ask experienced model pilots in your locality for advice and
help, or contact a model flying training centre. Specific helicopter
practice using a model flying simulator can also be very helpful.
In Great Britain addresses of clubs and training centres can
be obtained from the British Model Flying Association (BMFA),
Chacksfield House, 31 St. Andrew's Road, Leicester, England,
LE2 8RE (www.bmfa.org).
Maintaining and operating model helicopters calls for technical
understanding, a certain minimum level of manual skill, together
with self-discipline and a consciousness of safety matters.
Errors and neglect in maintaining and operating this model
can result in personal injury and damage to property. Since
we, as manufacturers, have no means of ensuring that you
maintain and operate your helicopter competently, all we can
do is expressly draw your attention to these dangers. All
warnings, including those contained in the remainder of these
instructions, must be observed at all times. If you overlook or
neglect them, the result could be serious or even fatal injury.
Caution:
- Before every flight please check that the rotor blades and all
other safety-relevant parts are in place and firmly seated. This
is especially important before the first flight of a session, after
transporting the model, and after any fairly hard landing or
crash. Check before each flight that your radio control system
is working properly and that the power supplies are fully charged
and in good condition.
- Keep your fingers well clear of the rotational plane of the
rotors, as they represent a serious injury risk when they are
spinning. If you are careless, they are certainly capable of
slicing off body parts.
- You alone bear the full responsibility for all consequences
which may arise as a result of operating your model. For this
reason it is essential that you take out proper insurance cover;
ordinary private third-party insurance is not sufficient.
- Before flying the model please inform all spectators about
the possible hazards, and ask them to keep an adequate
minimum distance away.
- If your model suffers damage, do not fly it again until you
have repaired all the defects.

- Never fly over people or animals, and do not fly directly towards
them.
- If the model needs repair, be sure to use genuine replacement
708 mm
parts exclusively. Any claim under guarantee is invalidated if
855 mm
the model is fitted with spare parts other than genuine items.

- Never fly your model from a public road, in a park, playground
or other public square. For insurance reasons alone you should
only fly your helicopter at an approved model flying site. Ask
at your model shop; the staff are sure to have contact addresses
for local flying clubs.
Examine your kit carefully!
MULTIPLEX model kits are subject to constant quality checks
throughout the production process, and we sincerely hope that
you are completely satisfied with the contents of your kit.
However, we would ask you to check all the parts - referring to
the Parts List - before you start construction, as we cannot
exchange components which you have already modified.
If you consider any part to be unacceptable for any reason, we
will readily correct or exchange it once we have examined the
faulty component. Just send the offending item to our Model
Department. Please be sure to include the purchase receipt
and the enclosed complaint form, duly completed.
We are constantly working on improving our models, and for
this reason we must reserve the right to change the kit contents
in terms of shape or dimensions of parts, technology, materials
and fittings, without prior notification. Please understand that
we cannot entertain claims against us if the kit contents do
not agree in every respect with the instructions and the
illustrations.
Like every flying machine, this model has static limits!
Extreme flying loads and pointless, ridiculous manoeuvres
may result in the loss of the model. Note: in such cases we
will refuse to replace broken parts. Please fly sensibly,
and approach the helicopter's limits cautiously.
Mechanical adjustments:
The FunCopter is set up to suit the beginner perfectly. If you
prefer a more agile model, it is possible to re-connect the
pushrods to the outer holes in the servo output arms
(Caution: greater forces act upon the servos! If the rotor
should make ground contact, there is a much greater risk of
servo damage), and to re-connect the pre-formed rods (32)
further outboard at the rotor head.
After a crash please check whether the tail rotor housing has
come loose. The M2 x 6 screw which determines the correct
position of the tail rotor housing engages in a hole in the tail
boom. You may well find that the hole has opened up, and in
this case the tail boom should be replaced.
1. Operating the model for the first time
Check the contents of your set before operating the model for
the first time.
Note: the model is factory-assembled, but you are
exclusively responsible for carrying out final checks on
the helicopter's construction, and when flying the model.
Please take the trouble to check every screw and every
adjustment; this applies in particular to the settings and
direction of rotation of the servos.
2. Completing the helicopter
The model has been tested exhaustively in conjunction with
the recommended components, and all the items harmonise
