Steering characteristics

Variations in wind pressure make it difficult for a performance-orientated sailing boat to maintain its
course by itself; gusts of wind may cause it to luff up automatically, i.e. turn into the wind to a grea-
ter or lesser extent. This can be prevented by slightly paying out the sails in good time, and also by
applying slight opposite rudder if necessary, until the gust is past. If the boat should bear away, the
sails should be run out at the same time as the necessary corrective rudder movement is applied.
Otherwise, in fairly strong winds the boat will tend simply to continue stubbornly in a straight line,
ignoring the corrective rudder commands. Please note that any sailing boat will turn uncontrollably
into the wind if the breeze is too powerful. This means that the sail area is too great; if there is no
alternative smaller sail suit available, sailing is not possible under these conditions.
NOTE: The execution of this model corresponds to the class rules of the Micro Ma-
gic - classes. For use in the competition they have to gegenebnenfalls make additional sails and
swords.

Maintenance and Care

Clean the model after each use. Remove any water seepage. If water has penetrated into the RC
components, dry them out and send the RC components for the control of the competent Graupner
/ SJ service center.
Clean the model and the transmitter using suitable cleaning agents. Good is a lint-free cloth. Never
use chemical cleaners, solvents, benzene, alcohol or the like.
Lubricate the drive shaft to the end of the operation with a small drop of oil on the bearings from. The
outer shaft bearings must be lubricated at the helm. Use to lubricate the drive only oil that does not
endanger or contaminated (eg Order No. 206) the water.
