Precautions

Your Sky Ranger should not be considered a toy, but rather a 

sophisticated, working model that functions very much like a full-size 
airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the Sky Ranger, if 
not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury 
to yourself or spectators and damage to property.

  1.   Operate the plane according to these instructions. DO NOT 

alter or modify the model. If you make any modifi cations, you 
void your warranty.

  2.   Test the operation of the model before each fl ight to ensure 

that all equipment is operating properly and that the model 
remains structurally sound.

  3.   Fly on calm days (with wind speeds less than 5mph) and in 

large open areas free of trees, people, buildings, or any other 
obstacles.

  4.   If you are in need of assistance from an experienced pilot, 

we suggest contacting your local R/C flying club. If you’re 
not a member of an R/C club, your local hobby shop has 
information about clubs in your area whose membership 
includes experienced pilots. You can also contact the 
National Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) which has 
over 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Instructor 
training programs and insured newcomer training are 
available through any of these clubs.
