Important!

The remote control range may be reduced drastically if the receiver aerial is not placed correctly (e.g. if the

aerial is only in the boat's body). In this case, the model can no longer be controlled. Check that the receiver

aerial is placed correctly before every operation.

ler must be replaced before operation. If this is not observed, the ship's propeller may come loose or break apart unin-

tended in operation. There is a danger of further damage to your model. The model will also no longer be controllable.

On the ship's propeller, also observe further information in the chapter 10.
