SAFETY WARNINGS
●
Just because the M.A.S.H. Army Rescue Chopper is powered by
electric motors doesn't mean that you shouldn't exercise caution
when flying and operating it. You must use the same amount
of caution during use as when flying and operating a glow-powered
helicopter.
●
We strongly suggest that when you first begin flying the
M.A.S.H. Army Rescue Chopper that you perform only basic
maneuvers, such as hovering, until you are more familiar with the
setup and flight characteristics of the helicopter. This will give
you time to feel comfortable with the way the helicopter reacts to
control inputs and power.
●
You must be cautious when plugging the LiPO battery into the
helicopter. Unlike glow-powered helicopters that use a clutch
assembly to allow the engine to idle without the rotor blades
spinning, an electric helicopter features no such clutch. You must
be sure that your transmitter is turned on and the throttle control
stick and throttle trim lever are pulled all the way back before
plugging in the LiPO battery. This will prevent any chance of the
rotor blades spinning and harming you while plugging in the LiPO
battery.
●
Do not fly your helicopter if another model is on the same
frequency as you. The frequency number is printed on the
transmitter and the receiver.
●
Never fly your helicopter from the street or at night. Always fly
in an open area free of obstructions.
●
When flying, make sure any spectators are behind you.
GENERAL WARNINGS
This R/C helicopter is not a toy! If misused or abused, it can cause serious bodily injury and/or damage to property. Fly only in open
areas and preferably at a dedicated R/C flying site. We suggest having a qualified instructor carefully inspect your helicopter before
its first flight. Please carefully read and follow all instructions included with this helicopter.
●
Always turn on the transmitter before plugging in the LiPO
battery and always unplug the LiPO battery before turning off the
transmitter.
●
Always unplug the LiPO battery when not flying the helicopter.
●
Never cut the receiver antenna shorter or you could lose control
of the helicopter during flight.
●
When flying the helicopter, make sure that the transmitter
antenna is completely extended.
●
Never attempt to disassemble or modify any of the radio control
system components.
●
Always be conscious of the rotor blades. Be careful not to allow
loose clothing to be drawn into the rotor blades.
●
Because your helicopter is operated by radio control, it is
important to make sure you are always using fresh and/or fully
charged batteries. Never allow the batteries to run low or you
could lose control of the helicopter.
●
Do not allow any of the electrical components to get wet or
electrical damage may occur.
●
You should complete a successful range check of the radio
control system prior to each new day of flying, or prior to the first
flight of a new or repaired model.
●
If your helicopter gets dirty, do not use any solvents to clean it.
Solvents may damage the plastic and composite parts.
