PROTECT YOUR MODEL, YOURSELF
& OTHERS....FOLLOW THESE
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Your Fokker DR-1 EP ARF should not be considered a toy,
but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very
much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance
capabilities, the Fokker DR-1 EP ARF, if not assembled and
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or
spectators and damage to property.
2. You must assemble the model according to the instructions.
Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an
unsafe or unfl yable model. In a few cases the instructions may
differ slightly from the photos. In those instances, the written
instructions should be considered as correct.
3. Take your time to build straight, true and strong.
4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in
fi rst-class condition.
5. You must correctly install all R/C and other components so
that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air.
6. You must check the operation of the model before every
fl ight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they
show any signs of wear or fatigue.
7. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not fl own
this type of model before, we recommend that you get the
assistance of an experienced pilot in your local R/C club for
your fi rst fl ights. If you're not a member of a club, your local
hobby shop has information about clubs in your area whose
membership includes experienced pilots.
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,
thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the
quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends
on how you build it: therefore, we cannot in any way
guarantee the performance of your completed model,
and no representations are expressed or implied as to the
performance or safety of your completed model.
Remember: Take your time and follow the instructions to
end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
BATTERY CHARGER OPTIONS
The Great Planes Fokker DR-1 EP ARF is designed for use with
LiPo (Lithium-Polymer) batteries only. All LiPo batteries require
a charger specifi cally designed for charging LiPo batteries. The
use of a charger not designed for charging LiPo batteries will
result in damage to the batteries and possibly a fi re.
We recommend the use of the Great Planes Triton
Peak Charger (GPMM3153), the ElectriFly DC PolyCharge
(GPMM3010), or for charging more than one battery at a
time, the ElectriFly PolyCharge4
