Boats

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

How to drain your boat properly:

Falshöft Coast Guard Boat (301001/301005)

Please open the two drain plugs at the bow and stern after every trip and drain any accumulated condensation if necessary. Please make sure to reinsert the drain plugs into their designated openings before each trip.

Ferrari Boat Arno XI (300005)

There is a drain plug at the stern. Open this after each trip to drain the condensation. Please make sure to reinsert the drain plug into the designated opening before every 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 from the boat. Since the drain button is spring-loaded, it will automatically return to its original position as soon as you stop pressing it.

Please note that, for safety reasons, the connection can only be made in the water. When starting up, turn on the controller first, then the boat. After the trip, follow the reverse order—turn off the boat first, then the controller.

Our boats are designed for use in fresh water with normal to moderate waves.
If your boat does come into contact with dirty or salty water, it must be thoroughly rinsed with plain tap water afterward.

If your boat or vehicle's battery has been connected properly and the charging process is proceeding normally, the red LED will remain lit. When the battery is fully charged, the red LED will turn green. The battery can then be removed and installed in the vehicle or boat.

Aircraft

If your micro quadcopter (502002) does not take off even though the battery is fully charged, please check that the 4 rotor blades are arranged correctly. The letters are stamped on the top of the rotor blades. It is important to position the A/D rotor blades and the B/C rotor blades correctly.
