flightadjustmentsandassemblyfromexperiencedfliers.
Beremindedthatflyingabadlyassembledorbadly
adjustedairplaneisverydangerous.
Inthebeginning,first-timefliersshouldalwaysbe
assistedbyanexperiencedflierandneverflyalone.
Beforeflyingyourairplane,ensuretheairfieldis
spaciousenough.Alwaysflyitoutdoorsinsafeareaswith

Donotallowabystandertogettooclosetothe
propeller.
Donotusedefectivepropellers.
Nevergraspthetransmitterantennawhileflying.
■Thetransmitteroutputmaydropdrastically.
Alwaysmakesurethatalltransmitterstickmovements
operateallservosproperlyinthemodelpriortoflight.
Also,makesurethatallswitches,etc.functionproperly
aswell.Ifthereareanydifficulties,donotusethesystem
untilallinputsarefunctioningproperly.
Whileoperating,nevertouchthetransmitterwith,
orbringthetransmitternear,anothertransmitter,a
cellphone,orotherwirelessdevices.
■Doingsomaycauseerroneousoperation.
Donotpointtheantennadirectlytowardtheaircraft
duringflight.
■Theantennaisdirectionalandthetransmitteroutputisweakest.
(Thestrengthoftheradiowavesisgreatestfromthesidesofthe
antenna.)
Neverflyonarainyday,whenthewindisstrong,and
atnight.
■Watercouldleadtofailureorimproperfunctionalityandpoor

■Erroneousinputduringflightisextremelydangerous.
Alwayschecktheremainingcapacityofthetransmitter
andreceiverbatteriesbeforeeachflyingsessionpriorto
flight.
■Lowbatterycapacitywillcauselossofcontrolandacrash.
Alwayscheckoperationofeachcontrolsurfaceand
