To prevent serious personal injury and/or property damage, operate all remotely controlled models in a
responsible manner as outlined herein.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLACE TO OPERATE YOUR R/C MODEL.
INSPECT YOUR MODEL BEFORE OPERATION.
AFTER OPERATION OF YOUR R/C MODEL.
Do not run on public streets or highways. This could cause serious accidents, personal injuries, and/or damage.
Never run R/C models near people or animals.
To avoid injury, do not run in confined spaces.
Do not run where loud noises can disturb others, such as hospitals and residential areas.
Never run indoors. There is high risk of fire and/or damage.
Make sure that screws and nut are properly tightened. It is also a good idea to use removable thread lock wherever metal
screws go into metal, especially for engine mounts and the engine pilot shaft.
Always use fresh batteries for your transmitter and for your receiver to avoid losing control of the model.
Always test the brakes and throttle before starting your engine to avoid losing control of the model.
Make sure no one else is using the same radio frequency as you are using.
Turn off receiver first, then turn off transmitter, this will prevent runaways.
Be careful when handling batteries, they will be hot after running.
Replace any batteries that have been dented or have frayed wires, short circuits can cause fire.
Be sure to keep your R/C model clean of excess dirt and grease, this will increase the life.
