Boats

Let the water drip off and dry your boat thoroughly after use. Use normal tap water to clean your boat. The contacts of the water sensors should be treated regularly with vinegar cleaner to prevent corrosion. Make sure that the vinegar cleaner does not come into contact with the propeller and rudder. This could lead to permanent damage.

How to drain your boat correctly:

Coast guard boat Falshöft (301001/301005)

Please open the two drain plugs at the bow and stern after every trip and drain any condensation water that has formed. Please make sure that you put the drain plugs back into the openings provided before each trip.

Ferrari boat Arno XI (300005)

There is a drain plug at the stern. Open this after every trip to drain the condensation water. Please make sure that you put the drain plug back into the opening provided before each trip.

Power Wave (300001)

You will find the drain button on the underside of the boat between the propeller and the sensor. Press it in with a blunt object until the condensation has drained out of the boat. As the drain button is spring-loaded, it will automatically return to its original position as soon as you stop pressing it in.

Please note that binding is only possible in the water for safety reasons. When starting up, first switch on the controller and then the boat. After the trip, follow the reverse order - switch off the boat first and then the controller.

Our boats are suitable for operation in normal to moderate waves in fresh water.
Should your boat nevertheless come into contact with dirty or salty water, it must then be thoroughly cleaned with normal tap water.

If the battery of your boat or vehicle has been connected correctly and the charging process is proceeding normally, the red LED will light up constantly. When the battery is fully charged, the red LED light switches to green. The battery can be removed and installed in the vehicle or boat.

Aircraft

If your Micro Quadrocopter (502002) does not take off despite a fully charged battery, please check whether the arrangement of the 4 rotor blades is correct. The letters are stamped on the top of the rotor blade. It is important to position the A/D rotor blades and the B/C rotor blades correctly.
