WARNING!!!
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injury to yourself and others.
Use safety glasses when running the motor. Do not run the motor in an area of loose gravel or sand; the propeller may throw such material in your
face or eyes. Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the plane of rotation of the propeller as you run the motor. Keep these
items away from the prop: loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of
shirt or jacket pockets into the prop. Always remove the LiPo battery from the plane before charging. Always use a charger designed to charge LiPo
batteries for charging the LiPo flight battery. Never leave the LiPo battery unattended while charging. If the battery becomes more than just warm,
discontinue charging.
