Congratulations on your purchase of the Synergy 516 radio controlled helicopter kit!
The Synergy 516 was designed and developed by Botos Design & Distribution Inc.. The design of the Synergy 516 emerged from many years of
experience in the hobby including design, research & development, and last but not least as a world class pilot who truly enjoys this wonderful
hobby.
This radio controlled helicopter is NOT A TOY. It is a sophisticated piece of equipment; it was designed and intended for hobby use only. If not
properly assembled, maintained, and operated, it is capable of causing property damage and bodily harm to both the operator and/or spectators.
Botos Design & Distribution Inc., its affiliates, and its authorized distributors assume no liability for damage that could occur from the assembly or
use/misuse of this product. If you are new to the hobby we strongly recommend seeking the help and advice from an experienced modeler.
Operating a model helicopter requires a high degree of diligence and skill. If you are new to the hobby, it is best to seek help and guidance from
experienced radio controlled helicopter pilots. This will both greatly speed up the learning process and make it much safer for you. For those pilots
who will be operating their Synergy 516 in the United States, we strongly recommend joining the AMA. The AMA is a non-profit organization
that provides services to the model aircraft pilots. As an AMA member, you will receive a monthly magazine entitled Model Aviation and most
importantly a liability insurance plan to cover against a possible accident or injury. All AMA charter aircraft clubs require individuals to hold a
current AMA sporting license prior to operation of their models.
