INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Heli-Max 1SQ Quadcopter. We are certain you

will get many hours of enjoyment out of this model. If you should have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at helihotline@hobbico. com. For the latest technical updates or manual corrections, visit the Heli-Max web site at: www.helimax-rc.com

Open the “Helicopters” link, and then select the 1SQ Quadcopter. If there is new technical information or changes to this model a “tech notice” box will appear in the upper left corner of the page.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Follow these safety precautions when operating this or any model helicopter.

● Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the plane of

rotation of the rotors whenever the battery is connected.

● Keep these items away from the rotors: loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties,

scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets into the rotors.

● The spinning blades of a model helicopter can cause serious injury. When

choosing a ﬂ ying site for your 1SQ Quadcopter, stay clear of buildings, trees and power lines. AVOID ﬂ ying in or near crowded areas. DO NOT ﬂ y close to people, children or pets.

● Maintain a safe pilot-to-helicopter distance while ﬂ ying.

● Your 1SQ Quadcopter should not be considered a toy, but rather a

sophisticated, working model that functions very much like a full-size helicopter. Because of its performance capabilities, the 1SQ Quadcopter, if not operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.

● Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an unsafe or

unﬂ yable model.

● You must check the operation of the model before every ﬂ ight to insure that

all equipment is operating and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check linkages or other connectors often and replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue.
