Operating instructions
Sky Surfer 2.0 RTF 2.4 GHz
Intended use
The GRAUPNER Sky Surfer 2.0 is a easy to build, electric powered remote-controlled aircraft,
including motor and speed controller. The required ight battery and matching charger is not
included.
A included 2.4 GHz remote control provides the control. The model may be used only outdoors
in calm conditions.
The model is intended for youngsters of fourteen years and over. If young persons
under fourteen years wish to y the model, an adult must supervise the activity.
Please read through and observe all the warnings and safety notes in these instruc-
tions and on the packaging.
Although the aircraft is the ideal RC-beginners model by the simple handling, acccording to
the new regulation of §103 Paragraph 3 of the LuftVZO (German Aviation Approvals Ofce),
all model aircraft - whether slow-yer, park-yer, glider, or model aircraft propelled by any form
of power plant - must be insured before the model is operated. If you are not sure about this,
please ask at your local model shop where the staff will be glad to advise you.
These safety notes must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to
pass them on to the new owner.
Read these instructions completely before using. This manual contains safety precautions and
must be strictly kept and passed on the subsequent sale of the model to the buyer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
You have acquired a model helicopter with an infra-red remote control system. However, we as
manufacturers have no control over the way you build and operate your RC model aircraft, nor
how you install, operate and maintain the associated components, and for this reason we are
obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the incorrect use
of our products or due to incompetent behaviour on the part of the user, or which are connected
with such operation in any way. Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of
the GRAUPNER company to pay compensation, regardless of the legal argument employed,
is excluded. This includes personal injury, death, damage to buildings, damages due to loss
of business or turnover, interruption of business or other direct or indirect consequent damage
whose root cause was the operation of the model.
The total liability in all cases and under all circumstances is limited to the amount of money
which you actually paid for the model.
This model is operated at the sole and express responsibility of the operator. The only way to
avoid injury to persons and damage to property is to handle and operate the model with the
greatest care and consideration at all times.
• Please read through and observe all the warnings and safety notes in these instructions and
on the packaging.
• The operator is responsible for any personal injury and property damage caused by the
model helicopter.
• The helicopter must be handled exactly as described in these instructions. Keep your n-
gers, head and body well away from the rotating components, as they are capable of inic-
ting injury.
Operating Instructions Sky Surfer 2.0 22
• It is the owner’s responsibility to operate the helicopter safely. The manufacturer and dis-
tributor accept no liability if incompetent or inappropriate use of the model results in loss or
damage.
• This product is suitable for young persons of fourteen years and over. Younger children may
only play with it under the constant supervision of an adult.
• You alone are responsible for the safe operation of this model!
Warning notes
1. The set contains small parts which could cause injury if swallowed; for this reason
it must be kept out of the reach of children under three years of age.
2. Do not attempt to y the model indoors. The helicopter should only be own in an open
indoor space devoid of obstacles.
4. Always ensure that the batteries are new or fully charged.
5. Do not dismantle or modify any of the parts supplied in the set; this applies in particular to
the transmitter and the ight battery.
6. Do not allow moisture or damp to penetrate the components, as water may damage the
electronics.
7. Take care to avoid the rotors coming into contact with ngers, hair or loose clothing.
8. Remember to switch the model off when you are not using it.
9. Use only the recommended battery charger and ight battery.
11. We recommend adult supervision when young people y the model. Children must be ad-
vised of the potential hazards involved in handling the model.
Safety notes regarding power sources (Transmitter Sky Surfer 2.0)
• Never attempt to charge any battery which is not specically stated to be rechargeable.
• Unless the instructions expressly state otherwise, always remove rechargeable batteries
from the device before charging them.
• Rechargeable batteries must only be charged under the supervision of an adult.
• If you are using dry cells, never use different cell types, nor a mixture of new and used
cells.
• Use only batteries of the recommended type, or their exact equivalent.
• Always take care to insert battery cells with correct polarity.
• When dry cells are exhausted, remove them from the device immediately.
• Take care not to short-circuit battery terminals.
• Never use defective or damaged rechargeable or dry batteries, or packs consisting of diffe-
rent cell types.
Warnings relating to the use of LiPo batteries (Sky Surfer 2.0)
Lithium-Polymer (abbreviation: LiPo) batteries require particularly careful handling. This applies
to charging and discharging techniques, and also to storage and other aspects of general hand-
ling. Special measures must be observed, and these are outlined below.
• Mishandling these batteries may lead to explosions, re, smoke and a risk of poisoning. In
addition to these hazards ignoring our instructions and warnings will result in loss of battery
performance and other problems.
• The capacity of a LiPo battery declines every time you charge or discharge it. Storing these
batteries at excessively high or low temperatures may also cause a gradual reduction in ca-
pacity. In typical modelling usage these batteries will be subject to high discharge currents
and motor induction currents, with the result that their capacity will fall to around 50 - 80% of
the capacity of a new battery after 50 charge / discharge cycles even if you observe all the
charge and discharge requirements.
• LiPo batteries must not be thrown in a re or incinerated.
• LiPo cells must not be allowed to come into contact with uids such as water, salt water or
drinks, even for a very short period. Avoid all contact with liquids of any type.
• Individual cells and packs made up of cells are not playthings, and must not be allowed into
hands of children. Store batteries and cells well out of the reach of children.
• Batteries must be kept out of the reach of babies and small children at all times. If a battery
should be swallowed, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
• Batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven or subjected to pressure. This may result
in smoke and re or even worse.
• Never dismantle a LiPo battery. Dismantling a pack may cause internal short-circuits, with
the possible results of gassing, re, explosion and other problems.
• LiPo batteries contain toxic electrolytes and electrolyte vapours which are damaging to
health. Take great care to avoid direct contact with electrolyte. If electrolyte contacts your
skin, eyes or any other body part, immediately wash it off using plenty of clean water, then
consult a doctor.
The company of Graupner GmbH & Co. KG is unable to ensure that you use the correct me-
thods to charge and discharge these cells, and for this reason we are obliged to refute any
claim under guarantee if the cells have been charged or discharged incorrectly.
Additional notes on handling LiPo batteries
• For the charging of LiPo battery packs use only the licensed chargers with their correspon-
ding connecting leads. Any manipulation of the charger or of the charging lead may cause
serious damages. By means of the charger you have the full and absolutely imperative
control of each single cell of the battery pack.
• The battery to be charged must be placed on a non-ammable, heat resistant and non-
conductive surface. Keep inammable and volatile materials well away from the charging
area. Batteries must not be left on charge unsupervised.
• Avoid short-circuits. Never short-circuit these batteries. Shorting the terminals allows a very
high current to ow, and this heats up the cells. This in turn may lead to a loss of electroly-
te, gassing (venting of gas) or even an explosion. When handling Graupner LiPo batteries
keep them well away from conductive objects and surfaces to avoid the danger of a short-
circuit.
• It is essential to avoid cell voltages above 4.25 V, as higher voltages cause permanent da-
mage to the cells and cause re.
• Take great care never to charge these batteries with reversed polarity. If batteries are char-
ged with reversed polarity abnormal chemical reactions take place, causing cell ruptures,
smoke and ames, and the battery gets useless.
• The permissible range of temperature during the charging and storing of LiPo batteries is
from 0 – 50° C.
• Storing: LiPo cells should be stored with a charged capacity of 10 – 20 %. If the voltage of
the cells go down under 3 V, it is absolutely imperative to recharge them (10-20 %). Deep-
discharging and storing in a discharged condition (cell voltage under 3 V) render the battery
useless.
• Batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven or subjected to pressure. This may result
in smoke and re or even worse.
• Never dismantle a LiPo battery. Dismantling a pack may cause internal short-circuits, with
the possible results of gassing, re, explosion and other problems.
• Damaged cells must never be re-used.
• Indications of damage include broken housings, distortion of battery cells, escaping elec-
23 Operating Instructions Sky Surfer 2.0
trolyte or a smell of electrolyte. If your LiPo battery exhibits any of these problems it must
not be used again.
• Damaged or exhausted cells constitute toxic waste and must be disposed of in the appro-
priate manner.
• Batteries which are build in a device should always be removed if the device is not to be
used immediately.
• Always switch equipment off after use in order to avoid the cells becoming deep-discharged.
Recharge batteries in good time. Do not use deep-discharged batteries again.
Safety notes
• Do not touch the propeller!
• Keep away all body parts, clothing and other items from the range of the propeller.
• If the rotors are damaged or broken, do not attempt to y the model again, as it will be un-
controllable and could injure you.
• Never try to open the model or modify its construction.
• The operator of the model must be in full possession of his or her bodily and mental facul-
ties. As with car driving, operating a model aircraft under the inuence of alcohol or drugs is
not permissible under any circumstances.
• The Sky Surfer is indeed easy to y, but you should never endanger others.
• Never y towards people or animals or even y over them.
• The motor of the Sky Surfer 2.0 gets very hot during operation, so it has to cool down
before the next launch at least 20 minutes - otherwise the motor can be damaged!
• Use only the recommended power battery. Batteries over 20C may not be used under any
circumstances, otherwise the motor may be damaged!

Safety notes
1. Be sure to choose a ying site which is wide
enough and clear of trees and powerlines.
5. Do not operate near a trafc-road.
Do not operate near a rail-road.
2. Wind Condition
The rst ight should be carried
out in at-calm conditions. The
ying characteristics of the SKY
SURFER 2.0 are at their best in
wind speeds up to 5km/hr.
6. Descending air current is likely to be occured at
foots of mountains and bank which causes dif-
cult to climb up.
3. Do not operate near tall buildings or power-lines!
4. In case of the Sky Surfer
climbs up much higher than
you wanted, you can
descend the model by a
corkscrew ight.
7. Near rivers or lakes
When operating near rivers or lakes and if the
Sky Surfer lands on water, you may not get it
back depending on the condition.
Check the wind direction and do not operate on
the leeward side of rivers and lakes.
Even when operating on the windward side, keep
enough distance and altitude.

Guidelines for checking wind speed:
- light breeze (approx 5 km/hr): leaves on trees moving
- moderate breeze (about 15 km/hr): Leaves and thin twigs moving
The model must not be own if the wind is any stronger (more than 15 km/hr)!
The model‘s airspeed has to be adjusted to suit the prevailing wind conditions and the pilotes
preferences, and this is done by selecting different connection holes to alter the angle of
attack. The higher the holes are chosen, the faster the model ies.
