Safety Instructions

1. This model helicopter is not a toy.
Building and especially operating it requires special knowledge. Mistakes and sloppi-
ness during assembly, maintenance and during operation may cause damage to pro-
perty and/or persons.
Even as this helicopter comes preassembled, it is your responsibility to check before
every flight that all components are assembled properly and are undamaged. Make
yourself aware of any possible dangers as you are responsible for the correct operation
of this model helicopter.
2. Meticulously follow the assembly and operation instructions. Alterations on the heli-
copter or disregard of the instructions will void any warranty.
3. Even a correctly assembled model may be dangerous. Never touch the moving main
rotor blades or any other open parts during operation, as you may hurt yourself.
4. In general it is your responsibility to use common sense, not to jeopardize safety and
to prevent damage to property and persons.
5. Only use original replacement parts and batteries of the same number of cells and
capacity. Higher number of battery cells will overload and destroy the motors, cause a
fire hazard and generate interference to the radio system.
6. Smaller than 2 cell batteries will result in dangerous flight situations or no flight at all.
Always check the battery after each charge, that all cells are o.k. If a cell is "puffed up",
properly discard the battery, as the battery is damaged beyond repair.
7. Always use fully charged batteries. As soon as you feel a power loss in flight, land
immediately, as low batteries can be responsible for malfunction and even a crash.
8. Before every flight inspect the main rotor blades, blade holders and blade screws. If
these items are damaged, they may fly away in any direction at high velocity and may
cause damage to property and hurt people.
9. Before every flight perform a range check. Have a second person observe the heli-
copter while you walk away with the transmitter (antenna collapsed!) for about 25 yards.
The control servos and motors in the helicopter need to perform flawless when carefully
giving control input on the transmitter sticks. The servos have to move into the correct
direction.
10. Before switching on the transmitter, make sure, that nobody nearby (at least 1 mile
radius) is using the same channel to operate a model.
11. Make sure that your take-off and landing area is free of obstacles and persons. Al-
ways keep a watchful eye on your model during flight.
12. After landing immediately disconnect the flight battery and switch off your transmit-
ter.
