WARNING! THIS IS NOT A TOY!

Flying machines of any form, either model-size or full-size, are not toys!
Because of the speeds that airplanes must achieve in order to fly, they are
capable of causing serious bodily harm and property damage if they crash.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND YOURS ALONE to assemble this
model airplane correctly according to the plans and instructions, to ground
test the finished model before each flight to make sure it is completely
airworthy, and to always fly your model in a safe location and in a safe
manner. The first test flights should only be made by an experienced R/C
flyer, familiar with high performance R/C aircraft.

JOIN THE AMA

The governing body for radio-control model airplanes in the United States
is the ACADEMY OF MODEL AERONAUTICS, commonly called the AMA.
The AMA SAFETY CODE provides guidelines for the safe operation of R/C
model airplanes. While AMA membership is not necessarily mandatory, it
is required by most R/C flying clubs in the U.S. and provides you with
important liability insurance in case your R/C model should ever cause
serious property damage or personal injury to someone else.
