Usage Features

The Roban Scale Fuselage AH-1 is designed for experienced adults in legally sanctioned flying fields. Key usage features and guidelines include:

  • Scale Conversion: Transforms a 3D-capable RC helicopter into a realistic scale model, enhancing its visual appeal.
  • Assembly Process: The manual provides a step-by-step installation guide, starting with the landing gear, LED lighting, main frame, tail components, and finally integrating the mechanics into the fuselage.
  • Pre-flight Check: Users are instructed to "Fly the mechanics with the 3D landing gear and check everything without the fuselage" before final integration, ensuring proper function and alignment.
  • No 3D Flights: Due to the increased weight and complexity of the structure after assembly, the manual explicitly advises against attempting 3D flights to mitigate the risk of accidents and damage.
  • Safety First: Emphasizes operating R/C aircraft models in isolated areas, free of bystanders, and avoiding residential zones or large groups of people.
  • Pilot Responsibility: Highlights that pilots bear sole responsibility for any damage or injuries resulting from operation, stressing caution and responsible handling.
