TO PROTECT YOUR MODEL, YOURSELF & OTHERS

1. This product should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions much like a full-

scale airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, this product, if not assembled and operated correctly, could

cause injury to you or spectators and damage to property. Maxford USA provides you with a high-quality, thoroughly

tested model airplane kit with assembly instructions. However, the quality and capabilities of your finished model

airplane depends on how you build it, and your safety depends on how you use and fly it. Any testing or flying of this

model airplane is done entirely at your own risk.

2. Assemble the model airplane according to the instructions. Take time to build it STRAIGHT, TRUE and STRONG.

We recommend that you do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an unsafe or unworkable model.

In a few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written instructions should be

considered as correct. If you have any question about the instructions, before you proceed with assembly of this

product, contact us at (562) 529-3988, Monday through Friday, except national holidays, between 8:30 AM to 5 PM

Pacific time.

3. Install the R/C system and other components in such a way that this model airplane passes all ground safety/range tests

and ensure that all controls operate smoothly and correctly.

4. Check the operation of this model airplane before every flight to ensure that all equipment is still operating correctly

and that the model has remained structurally sound. Also, before every flight check the clevises and other connectors;

replace any found damaged or defective.

5. If you are not an experienced R/C pilot or have not flown this type of model before, we recommend that you get the

assistance of an experienced R/C pilot.

6. Throughout the lifetime of this model, use only the supplied Maxford USA or same-sized motor, electronic speed

control, and a new or well-maintained R/C radio system and recommended Li-Po battery.

7. While this kit has been flight-tested to meet or exceed our rigid performance and reliability standards in normal use, if

you plan to perform any extremely high-stress flying, such as racing or advanced aerobatics, or if you plan to install a

larger motor than included, you (the buyer or user of this product) are solely responsible for taking steps to reinforce

the high-stress points and/or substitute hardware that is more suitable for such increased stresses.

8. LITHIUM BATTERY HANDLING & USAGE: WARNING!! Read the entire instruction sheet included with the

battery. Failure to follow all instructions could result in permanent damage to the battery, its surroundings, and bodily

harm! If you crash this model airplane, check whether the Li-Po battery is damaged.

Do NOT attempt to use and do not attempt to re-charge a damaged Li-Po battery.

ONLY use a Li-Po approved charger.

(NEVER use a NiCd/NiMH charger!)

ALWAYS set the charger's output to match the battery's

voltage and mAh ratings.

ALWAYS charge through the battery's "charge" connector.

(NEVER charge through the "discharge" leads.)

ALWAYS charge in a fireproof location.

NEVER place on combustible materials or leave unattended

during charge or discharge.

9. This model of the Albatros D.III includes some carbon-fiber reinforced or fiberglass parts. Be warned that carbon-

fiber and fiberglass dust may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. So, if you grind, drill or sand such parts,

always wear safety goggles, a particle mask and rubber gloves, and never blow into such a part to remove carbon-fiber

or fiberglass dust, as the dust may blow back into your eyes.
