Security

Beginners should pay special attention to the following safety issues!

It is forbidden to fly when the body condition is not good, such as fatigue or drunkenness! It is forbidden to fly in bad weather such as rain or strong wind! It is forbidden to fly near high-voltage lines, communication base stations,or active places! It is forbidden to fly at airports and other places where it is forbidden to fly! It is forbidden to control the flight model in places where people are concentrated, in parking areas, or in other areas where property damage or personal injury may occur.

Before the flight, check the equipment of the aircraft and check whether the transmit and receive system and the aircraft are normal.

After the flight, turn off the power of the receiver and then turn off the power of the transmitter to prevent the engine or motor from rotating and causing damage caused by the runaway protection function!

Please use a guaranteed professional charger to charge the battery. This product antenna is a fragile component, please pay attention to avoid excessive damage.
