Before you power on the helicopter, you must ensure that all screws and associated hardware are secured. Even just
one single loose screw can cause the helicopter to become uncontrollable resulting in a crash or personnel injury. Also it
is very important that you must check the model frequently and exchange any parts that show signs of deterioration or
wear. Failure to complete frequent pre and post ight inspections will result in ying an unsafe model and increasing the
risk of damaging the helicopter and possibly injuring yourself and/or others. Use only original Mikado parts and
electronic components which are recommended by Mikado.
When programing the model or testing the radio system ALWAY remove the main and tail rotor blades as the model may
spool up unintentionally.
Always keep a minimum of 10 yards away from a spinning rotor head. Components that run hot such as the ESC and
Motor should never be touched until ample cool down time has been provided.
This helicopter is primarily intended for operation outside and may only be operated in sites where operation of Radio
Control models is permitted. Operate the helicopter inside closed rooms at your own discretion. Keep the helicopter at
safe distance to any persons or live animals at all times. If ying around other people, before take off, inform them you
will be ying and ask them to pay attention to the model. When testing / tuning, keep a minimum distance of 10 yards for
safety and never operate the helicopter alone. Always take someone with you, who can help in emergency situations.
The helicopter must also not be operated in the following circumstances:
• when children are present or in places where people are gathering
• close to houses or in park areas
• in adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow, hail or during strong winds
• near trees or High Tension wires
Before the rst ight, you must check proper functioning of the motor, the ESC and the VBar. For safety reasons, these
tests should be performed without mounting the main rotor blades and the tail rotor blades. It is advisable to y
moderately during the rst ights. This is because you need to get used to the new size of this helicopter during the rst
few ights. Do not underestimate the size and power of this helicopter. Keep a safe distance from the ground to provide
for ample reaction time.
