SAFETY GUIDELINES

•  You alone are responsible for operating your model in a safe manner. When flying, you are 

responsible for your own safety and the safety of others around you. Follow these basic safety 
guidelines at all times.

•   Before you begin to fly look at the frequency sticker on the back of your transmitter & make 

sure no one else in the area is on the same frequency.

•   When operating always be aware of the spinning propeller. Be careful not to let the Night 

Flyer  come close to your person, others and/or loose clothing. 

•   Always fly your airplane in a wide-open area.  You’ll need at least 300ft worth of area that is 

free from obstructions such as buildings, electric power lines, trees, roads, other people and 
vehicles.  

•   Do not fly around people who are unaware that you are flying a model airplane, and never fly 

over people’s heads. 

•   Do not fly your model if other models are being operated in the area on the same frequency.
•   Do not attempt to disassemble any of the model’s components or allow them to get  wet. 

Electrical damage may occur.

•   Never fly your model from roadways or after dark.
•   Keep spectators behind you when flying.
•   Before flying, make sure you perform a range check to be sure you can maintain control at 

least 100-feet from the transmitter to the model with the transmitter antenna extended.

•   Since your model is controlled by a radio link it is very important to always keep fresh “AA” 

alkaline batteries in the transmitter. 

•   Never use solvents or liquid cleaners to clean this model. Doing so may damage the unit or 

electronics. Only use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.

•   Never attempt to charge a battery that appears damaged.
•   Never charge longer than 10 minutes.
•   Always place a charging battery on a non-flammable surface.
