GB
This model is not a toy!
• This radio controlled model is not a toy. Learning how to control it
correctly is a gradual process.
• Children under 14 years of age should be supervised by an adult.
If you are not yet proficient with model aircraft, we suggest you
approach a more experienced model pilot or a model-making club
about making your first flight attempts.
Flying a radio controlled helicopter is a fascinating hobby. However, it
has to be practised with the necessary caution and respect.
A radio controlled model can cause damage and injury in an
uncontrolled flying mode, and the user is liable for any such incident.
As a manufacturer and distributor of the model, we are not
responsible for the correct handling and operation of the model.
Preparations
Never start flying before you have made sure of
the following points:
• Pay attention to visible damage on the model, remote control,
battery charger, and lithium-polymer battery.
• Ensure that the model is functioning correctly and that all nuts,
bolts and screws are properly tightened
• The flight battery must be fully charged, with the correct voltage.
Only use fresh new batteries for the transmitter.
Do not fly any longer than one battery charging!
Afterwards the motor must cool down for at least 5 minutes.
Then recharge the battery. Avoid low discharge in any case.
Lay the antenna wire in such a way that it cannot get into movable
parts. Ensure for traction relief by fixing the wire to a location on the
fuselage with adhesive tape.
ATTENTION!!! The pilot must maintain visual contact with the model plane at all times.
The model must not be controlled by watching the transmitter screen because the pilot will be
unable to keep it in view should there be any radio interference with the video transmission.

Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when practising
your hobby.
Only a well maintained model will function in a correct manner. Only
use approved spare parts and never improvise with any unsuitable
items.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the model is functioning
correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened.
Keep the model well beyond the reach of small children. They may
unintentionally activate the model and cause themselves injury with
it, or they may put batteries and small parts into their mouths and
swallow or choke on them.
• Make sure that all servos respond correctly to the signals of the
transmitter.
• Always check the radio operation before starting the
helicopter.
