Ripmax Bolero Instructions / Anleitung
Make sure you read this safety information and the instructions
before building your model. Follow exactly the recommended
procedures and settings given in the instructions.
If you are operating a radio-controlled model aircraft, helicopter,
car, multicopter or boat for the first time, we recommend that you
enlist the help of an experienced modeler to guide you. There
are also special clubs or modeling associations that offer training
services and assistance.
Safety Information
Radio-controlled models are not toys in the usual sense, and
young people under 14 years of age should not operate them
unless supervised by an experienced adult. It is advised not to
operate model multicopters, model helicopters, model aircraft or
model boats commercially without official permission. But you
are allowed to operate them for sports and recreational purposes,
sometimes authorisation from the local council may be required
to use a model in certain locations
The building and operating of models requires technical expertise,
manual skill, a careful attitude and use of safety-conscious
behavior. Errors, negligence and omissions in building or flying
these models can result in serious personal injury or damage
to property. Changes to the construction and deviating from the
operating manual will invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
Since the manufacturers and vendors of the equipment have
no means of checking that your models are built and operated
correctly, we explicitly bring your attention to these risks and deny
all further liability.
A properly constructed model may still be dangerous if
used incorrectly. Never reach into rotating propellers /
blades or other moving parts as this may cause serious
injuries. Note that motors, controllers and exhaust systems can
reach high temperatures during operation. Avoid all contact with
such parts.
The tools needed for assembly can also cause injuries. Even
metal or plastic parts which are broken or untrimmed can cause
injuries. Adhesives and paints may contain hazardous substances
like solvents etc. Please observe the manufacturer's information
and wear safety equipment (goggles, gloves etc.) when necessary.
Rubber parts (e.g. rubber bands) may become old and brittle and
fail. Such parts have to be checked before use.
Keep well clear of the electric motors and all moving
components when the battery is connected. Mistakes
happen and in spite of all safety precautions and there is
always a risk of damage and injury from parts such as propellers
or rotors. For example, by you may unintentionally move the
throttle stick on the transmitter during setup. Also ensure that
other hazards such as pets are not able to come in contact with
moving parts!
Never fly a model aircraft, helicopter or multicopter at eye
level directly in line with other people/animals as this
will increase the risk of injury. Always keep yourself at a
safe distance from your model and pay particular attention while
take-off and landing for obstacles.
Observe the instructions of the battery and charger
manufacturer.
Use only recommended battery chargers and recharge
your battery only until the specified charging time/level. Excess or
incorrect charging methods can lead to the battery exploding. Pay
extra attention to ensure correct polarity.
Protect your equipment from dust, dirt and moisture. Do not
expose the device to excessive heat, cold or vibration. The remote
control operation may be performed only within the specified
temperature range, avoid unusually hot/cold days.

General Notices
Check your equipment regularly for damage and always replace
damaged components with original spare parts.
Don't re-use any equipment or devices which have been subject
to crash or water damage. Either return to the Service Department
for repair or replace. Hidden problems may occur after crash or
water damage which can lead to problems or total failure later in
operation.
Use only recommended components and accessories. On remote
control systems no changes may be made.
Routine Pre-Flight Checks
• Before switching on the receiver, ensure that the throttle
control on the transmitter is in the motor stop position.
• Always switch on the transmitter first and then the receiver.
• Always switch off the receiver first, then the transmitter.
• Before use perform a range test.
• Check if the correct model memory is selected.
• Perform a function test before each use, ensuring to check the
direction of travel, movement and all other functions including
mixing functions and default switch positions.
• Ensure all batteries are fully charged.
Operating the Model
• Never fly over or towards spectators or other pilots and
maintain a safe distance at all times.
• Never endanger people or animals!
• Never fly close to high-tension overhead cables or populated
areas.
• Do not operate your model in the vicinity of canals, locks or
open waterways.
• Do not operate your model from public roads, motorways, paths
and squares etc. Only at authorised spaces.
• Do not operate your models in thunderstorms as they could
interfere with the radio remote control systems.
Aerial Position
Never "point" the transmitter aerial straight at the model when
in operation. The signal generated by the transmitter is at its
weakest in an imaginary line extending straight from the aerial. It
is always best for the pilot to stand in a position where the long
side of the aerial points towards the model.
Insurance
Ground-based models are usually covered by standard personal
third-party insurance policies. For flying models additional
insurance is recommended. Check your insurance policy that you
are suitably covered and abode by its guidelines.
