OPERATING YOUR MODEL SAFELY

Operate the helicopter in spacious areas with no people
nearby.
!Warning: Do NOT operate the helicopter in the fol­lowing places and situations (or else you risk severe
accidents):

• in place s where chil dren gath er or people pass
through

• in residential areas and parks

• indoors and in limited space

• in windy weather or when there is any rain, snow, fog
or other precipitation

If you do not observe these instructions you may be held
reliable for personal injury or property damage!
Always check the R/C system prior to operating your
helicopter. When the R/C system batteries get weaker,
the operational range of the R/C system decreases. Note
that you may lose control of your model when operating
it under such conditions.

Keep in mind that other people around you might also
be operating a R/C model.

Never use a frequency which someone else is using at
the same time. Radio signals will be mixed and you will
lose control of your model.

If the model shows irregular behavior, bring the model
to a halt immediately. Turn off all power switches and
disconnect the batteries. Investigate the reason and fix

the problem. Do not operate the model again as long
as the problem is not solved, as this may lead to further
trouble and unforeseen accidents.

! Warning: In order to prevent accidents and personal
injury, be sure to observe the following:

Before flying the helicopter, ensure that all screws are
tightened. A si ngle loose screw may cause a major
accident.
Replace all broken or defective parts with new ones, as
damaged parts lead to crashes.
Never approach a spinning rotor. Keep at least 10 me­ters/yards away from a spinning rotor blades.
Do not touch the motor immediately after use. It may be
hot enough to cause burns.
Perform all necessary maintenance.

PRIOR TO ADJUSTING AND OPERATING YOUR MO­DEL, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

!Warning: Operate the helicopter only outdoors and out of
people’s reach as the main rotor operates at high rpm!
! Warning: While adjusting, stand at least 10 meters/
yards away from the helicopter!
Novice R/C helicopter pilots should always seek advice
from experienced pilots to obtain hints with assembly and
for pre-flight adjustments. Note that a badly assembled
or insufficiently adjusted helicopter is a safety hazard!
In the beginning, novice R/C helicopter pilots should
always be assisted by an experienced pilot and never
fly alone!
