Safety Notes

Radio-controlled models are not toys in the usual sense of the term.
Young persons under fourteen years should only be allowed to operate
them under the supervision of an adult.
Building and operating these models requires technical expertise, manu-
al skills, a careful attitude and safety-conscious behaviour.
Errors, negligence and omissions in building or flying these models can
result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
Since the manufacturer and vendor are not in a position to check that
your models are built and operated correctly, all we can do is bring these
hazards expressly to your attention. We deny all further liability.
Aircraft propellers, and all moving parts generally, consti-
tute a constant injury hazard.
It is essential to avoid touching such parts.
Bear in mind that motors and speed controllers may be-
come hot when operating.
It is essential to avoid touching such parts.

Crash or water damage can result in concealed defects which may lead
to failure in subsequent use.
