GENERAL NOTES
•Models are hazardous when operated and maintained incorrectly.
•Always install and operate a radio control system correctly.
•Always pilot a model so the model is kept under control in all
conditions.
•Please seek help from an experienced pilot or your local hobby
store.
•Contact local or regional modeling organizations for guidance and
instructions about flying in your area.
•When working with a model, always power on the transmitter first
and power off the transmitter last.
•After a model is bound to a transmitter and the model is set up in
the transmitter, always bind the model to the transmitter again to
establish failsafe settings.
PILOT SAFETY
•Always make sure all batteries are fully charged before flying.
•Time flights so you can fly safely within the time allotted by your
battery.
•Perform a range check of the transmitter and the model before
flying the model.
•Make sure all control surfaces correctly respond to transmitter
controls before flying.
•Do NOT fly a model near spectators, parking areas or any other
area that could result in injury to people or damage to property.
•Do NOT fly during adverse weather conditions. Poor visibility,
wind, moisture and ice can cause pilot disorientation and/or loss of
control of a model.
•When a flying model does not respond correctly to controls, land
the model and correct the cause of the problem.
