•
Your ElectriStar EP Select 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 ElectriStar EP Select, if not assembled
correctly, could cause injury to yourself, spectators, and/or
damage to property.
•
You must assemble the model according to the
instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may
result in an unsafe or unflyable model. In a few cases the
instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those
instances the written instructions should be considered correct.
•
You must check the operation of the model before every
flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
linkage connections and electrical connections often and
replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue.
•
If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot, you
should fly the model only with the help of a competent,
experienced R/C pilot.
