Warning, this is not a toy!

If you are new to the hobby of flying RC model airplanes, DO NOT attempt to fly this
model by yourself! There are hundreds of BMFA (British Model Flying Association)
clubs in the UK. Ask your local hobby shop for the location of the nearest club in your
area, or check out the www.bmfa.org.uk (or your national modelling organisations) web
site. Many clubs often have qualified instructors to teach you how to fly. If you are an
accomplished pilot then you should have no problem in flying this model. However the
Scorpion can fly very fast, and is potentially a lethal object. Do fly responsibly, and
make sure your third party liability (eg BMFA) insurance is valid.
