WARNING
READ THROUGH THIS MANUAL
BEFORE STARTING CONSTRUCTION.
IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING
THE CONSTRUCTION AND USE OF THIS
MODEL.
A Radio-Controlled aircraft is not a toy!
If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm
and damage to property. Fly only in open
areas, preferably at AMA (Academy of Model
Aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all
instructions included with your radio, powerplant,
electronics and batteries.
• Inspect your model before every flight to ensure it is airworthy.
• Be aware of any other radio frequency user who may present an
interference problem.
• Always be courteous and respectful of other users in your
selected flight area.
• Choose an area clear of obstacles and large enough to safely
accommodate your flying activity.
• Make sure this area is clear of friends and spectators prior to
launching your aircraft.
• Be aware of other activities in the vicinity of your flight path that
could cause potential conflict.
• Carefully plan your flight path prior to launch.
• Abide by any and all established AMA National Model Aircraft
Safety Codes.
IMPORTANT!!! Two of the most important things you can
do to preserve the radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid flying
near full-scale aircraft and avoid flying near or over groups of people.
