PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injurytoyourselfandothers.
Check that there is su cient transmitter battery capacity for flight.
■ Determine the operating time of the receiver, gyro, and servo battery in the adjustment stage and decide the number of flights with a margin to spare.
Always check the direction of operationofthegyro.
■ Attempting to fly with the operating direction reversed is extremely dangerous. Always check your gyro's direction to ensure safe flights.
Do not strike the gyro with a hard object. Do not drop it onto a concrete surface or other hard floor.

■ The sensor may become damaged during strong impacts.
Do not use the GYA460 for applications other than RC electricairplanes.
■ This gyro is designed for RC electric airplanes only. Do not use it for other applications.
The GYA460 assists flight by beginners. However, this does not mean that RC model aircraft can be flown alone by a completely inexperienced flyer. Inexperienced flyers should fly safely under the guidance of an instructor.
The GYA460 stabilizes the flight attitude, but this does not mean that any model aircraft can be flown. Use it with a model that was made properly and can fly reliably.
