General Guidelines

It is important that you read and follow this
instruction manual, along with the radio
system manual before you run this exciting
boat. Failure to read and understand the
manual could result in personal injury,
property damage or permanent damage to
your boat. It is also important to run your
boat responsibly. With proper care and
maintenance, you will be able to proudly
enjoy your Formula Fastech 26 Brushless
Deep-V for many years to come.

When operating the boat, stay clear of
people, full-scale boats, stationary objects
and wildlife. It is preferable to operate the
Formula Fastech 26 Brushless Deep-V in low
wake, low wind conditions and in areas free
of people, wildlife and objects.

Before you operate your model, make sure
that your frequency is clear. If someone
is operating on the same frequency, both
models could go out of control, possibly
causing damage to the models or to others.
Check all of the hardware, and the propeller
for damage and loose screws before and after
each run.

If at any time while operating your model
you sense any abnormal function, end your
operation immediately. Do not operate your
boat again until you are certain the problem
has been corrected. Always stay clear of

the propeller.
