Other Tips
* Sail your ETNZ only in still bodies of water. Never
sail your boat in running water such as streams or
rivers, as it is easy to lose control of your boat.
* Do not sail ETNZ in very heavy winds.
* If you will be operating your ETNZ in the same area
as other R/C craft, be sure that you are all on different
frequencies to help avoid any mishaps.
