Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read these before operating your Air Strike.
•
YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OPERATING YOUR
AIRCRAFT IN A SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE MANNER.
FOLLOW THESE BASIC SAFETY GUIDELINES AT ALL
TIMES.
•
Always fl y your airplane in a wide-open area. You’ll need at
least two football fi elds worth of area that is free from
obstructions such as buildings, electric power lines, trees, roads,
other people or vehicles. Do not fl y around people who are
unaware that you are fl ying a model airplane, and never fl y over
people’s heads.
•
Fly
only
on calm days. Gusty winds and winds over 10 mph
will make it diffi cult (if not impossible) to control the aircraft
properly.
•
Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are both switched off
and the battery is disconnected when you’re not fl ying.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble any of the airplane’s components
or allow them to get wet. Electrical damage may occur.
•
Never fl y your airplane from roadways or after dark.
•
When operating/fl ying, always be aware of the spinning
propeller. Be careful not to let it come close to your body, other
people or loose clothing.
•
Keep spectators behind you when fl ying.
•
Since your airplane is controlled by a radio link, it is very
important to always use new alkaline batteries in the
transmitter. We recommend Megatech’s Golden Power series,
designed for RC products.
•
Before fl ying, make sure you perform a range check and can
maintain control at least 25 feet from transmitter to model with
the transmitter antenna collapsed. Do not fl y your airplane if
other models are being operated on the same frequency in the
area. If you are at a fi eld with other pilots,
NEVER TURN
ON YOUR TRANSMITTER OR RECEIVER
without fi rst
confi rming that there are no other models in the air on the same
radio frequency. Talk to the other pilots and make sure that they
are aware of what frequency you are using.
•
Do not use solvents or liquid cleaners to clean this model. Doing
so may damage the plane. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
