Kit Introduction; R/C Helicopter Safety; Warning; General Guidelines - miniature aircraft Fury 55 X-CELL Assembly Instructions Manual

Kit introduction

Thank you for purchasing the X-Cell Fury 55 by Miniature Aircraft USA. This model is the culmination of
years of designing and manufacturing R/C helicopters. It is designed with the highest standards, and will
provide years of enjoyment. Whether this is your first R/C model helicopter or you are an advanced R/C
helicopter modeler, the X-Cell Fury 55 is a fantastic choice for a "50 size" model.

r/c Helicopter safety

A radio controlled model helicopter is not a toy, but rather a technically complex device that must be built
and operated with care. It is also a fascinating and challenging part of the R/C sport, the mastery of which is
very rewarding. A model helicopter must be built exactly in accordance with the building instructions. The kit
manufacturer has spent much time and effort refining his product to make it reliable in operation and easy to
build. The essentially bolt together construction can proceed quite rapidly, giving the builder a strong sense of
accomplishment that encourages hasty progress from one construction phase to the next, so that the completed
model can be more quickly seen and enjoyed. It is essential to recognize and guard against this tendency.
Follow building instructions exactly. Vibration and stress levels are high and all fasteners and attachments must
be secure for safe operation.
Note that this is the first use of the word SAFETY in these comments. Previously the kit manufacturer's efforts to ensure reliable
operation were mentioned. That is ALL that he can do. Safe operation is the responsibility of the builder/flyer and starts with careful
construction and continues with selection and installation of reliable radio equipment and engine.
The need for safety is nowhere greater than at the flying field. A number of guidelines for safe flight have been
developed by experienced flyers and are set down here. It is urged that they be read, understood and followed.
Warning! – risk of death or serious injury
Remote Control ("R/C") Helicopters can be dangerous. Inexperienced pilots of R/C Helicopters should be
trained and supervised by experienced operators. All operators should use safety glasses and other appropriate
safety equipment, and exercise necessary precautions when fueling, repairing, maintaining, flying and
storing R/C Helicopters, and when using or storing R/C Helicopter accessories, equipment, fuels, and related
materials. R/C Helicopters should be used only in open areas free of obstacles, and far enough from people to
minimize the possibility of injury from the helicopter or any of its components falling or flying in unexpected
directions.
This helicopter is not a toy, but a complex flying machine that must be assembled with care by a responsible
individual. Failure to exert care in assembly, or radio or accessory installation, may result in a model incapable
of safe flight or ground operation. Rotating components are an ever present danger and source of injury to
operators and spectators. Since the manufacturer and his agents have no control over the proper assembly and
operation of his products, no responsibility or liability can be assumed for their use.
General Guidelines for safe r/c Helicopter Flight
• Fly only at approved flying fields and obey field regulations.
• Follow frequency control procedures. Interference can be dangerous to all.
• Know your radio. Check all transmitter functions before each flight.
• Be aware that rotating blades are very dangerous and can cause serious injury.
• Never fly near or above spectators or other modelers.
• If you're a beginner, get help trimming the model first and flight training later.
• D on't "track" the main blades by holding the tail boom. This is a temptation to builders who cannot hover yet
and is very dangerous.
• Follow all recommended maintenance procedures for model, radio and engine.
