safety Precautions and Warnings

As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating  

in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result  

in damage to the product or property of others. 
This model is controlled by a radio signal subject to interference  

from many sources outside your control. This interference can 

cause momentary loss of control, so it is advisable to always keep 

a safe distance in all directions around your model as this margin 

will help avoid collisions or injury.
•  Never operate your model with low transmitter batteries.
•  Always operate your model in an open area away from cars,  

traffic or people.

•  Never operate the model in the street or in populated areas

such as the motor, electronic speed control and battery, because they
