Flying models are not toys, and should only be operated by respon-sible clear thinking people. Assembling and maintaining models requires a basic level of technical skill, and a sensible logical ap-proach. Any error in building, repairing or maintaining the model could result in serious injury or damage. Technical problems or an incorrectly assembled model may lead to the propeller unexpect-edly beginning to turn. Always stay out of the vicinity of rotating propellers and never allow any item to come into contact with a spinning prop. As neither the manufacturer or the dealer has any influence over the way that models are operated they can accept no responsibility for and damage caused. If this model is the first radio controlled model which you are at-tempting to build or fly, you should secure the assistance of an experienced model pilot. Your local dealer will be able to assist you in locating your local model aircraft club or experienced pilots in your area. NEVER fly your model over people and never operate the model in way which may endanger people or animals. Before your first flight you should conduct a range check of the radio con-trol system, secure the model to a solid object, and ensure that you have full control of all functions with the antennae collapsed over a distance of at least 25 metres. Before and after every flight inspect the model for damage, and rectify any faults before you attempt to take off. The operator is responsible for any damage caused by the operation of flying models. Always observe any local laws regarding the operation of model aircraft.
Furthermore, the following instructions must be followed:
*The kit contains small parts which may cause choking if swallow ed, keep away from small children.*The model should not be changed in any way, doing so will invali-date the guarantee.*Never come into contact with rotating parts.*Do not fly over wet ground or grass as water will damage the models electrical components*Do not expose the model or batteries to direct sunlight, always keep them in the shade.*Inspect the model before and after every flight for damage.*Only ever fly the model if it is in perfect working order.*The model can only be flown in good weather. Do not fly in wind, rain or thunder storms.*Find a place to fly which complies with any laws, and is free from obstacles such as trees, houses or power cables.*Remember that your model is made from such materials as plastic and wood, and as such is inflammable. Keep it away from any open flame, or high temperatures.*When operating the model, switch on the transmitter first and then the aircraft, switch off in the reverse order.*Always ensure that the throttle stick is in the low position before you switch on.
