Persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, or not capable to use safely the AMIGO V must not use the model without supervision or instruction by a responsible person. Operation and use of radio-controlled models needs to be learnt! If you have never driven such a model, then start extra carefully and make sure to be familiar with the reactions of the model to the remote control commands.

General The AMIGO V model is a classical Graupner airplane model that achieves challenging flight performance. It is particularly characterized by a low airspeed and best thermal airing properties. The design was based on the version AMIGO II from 1966. The wing and tail unit adopted are exactly like the original ones. The model can start with a rubber-system, but it can optionally be flown with a motor set as a motor glider.

The left side of the fuselage must also be glued to the building plan. It is important to note that the left side of the fuselage has to be removed from the base again so that the back fuselage belt can be glued.
