fatal so be sure to follow all regulations carefully.

• Keep your hands, face and other parts of your body away from the spinning 
propellers/rotor blades and other moving parts at all times. Fly the aircraft 
away from objects that could impact or become entangled with the 
propellers/rotor blades. This includes debris, parts, tools, loose clothing, etc.
• You must always operate your aircraft in open areas that are free from 
people, vehicles and other obstructions. Never fly near or above crowds, 
airports or buildings.
