plan to perform any extremely high-stress flying, such as racing or advanced aerobatics, or if you plan to install a larger 
motor than included, you (the buyer or user of this product) are solely responsible for taking steps to reinforce the high-
stress points and/or substitute hardware that is more suitable for such increased stresses.
