3. Model aircraft are not toys! Fly under professional guidance and strictly follow instruction rules in this
document. XAircraft is not responsible for consequences caused by improper installation, incorrect setting or operation.
.Security Notes
1. Familiarize yourself with flying environment and any obstacles. Identify any potential hazards such as power
lines, cars, people, etc.
2. Do not fly the aircraft when fatigued, drunk or your mental state has been compromised which may cause an
accident.
3. Stay away from wet areas. Do not fly in the rain or wet environments which can cause device failure and
probably lead to danger. Do not fly at night or in windy conditions.
4. Stay away from any fire resulting in damage of the electronic parts or others such as the flight battery.
5. Do not fly alone during your preliminary flights. If you need help, please enlist the aid of an experienced pilot
before flying for the first time.
6. Prepare rescue tools such as cell phones or other communication devices should you need to call for help.
7. Please fly under the safe take-off weight, do not overload the aircraft otherwise will lead to danger.
8. Ensure all the equipment operates correctly before flight and that there is no transmitter interference or
conflicts.
9. Do not touch any moving or powered parts. Do not try to catch the copter which has rotating motors or
blades for example. Keep loose clothing away from moving parts as they may get caught and could cause physical harm.
10. Always throttle down to minimum before flying.
11. Remove the propellers when testing the remote device or motors operation. Attach the propellers after you
have tested that everything is working good to prevent an accident.
12. Assemble the aircraft with accessories XAircraft provides. XAircraft is not responsible for any consequence
resulted from assembly with other accessories or modifications.
