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 dam-
age  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.
