1.2 HOW TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS
 As the use of this engine can be very dangerous , it is
important to adopt all the necessary precautions during,
before and after each flight in order to avoid severe accidents.
We advise you to follow the general precautions below in
order to avoid damages and or accidents.

The engine does not solve all flying problems; hence, it is
imperative to avoid risky moves. One of the most common
mistakes is flying at low altitude in areas without a safe
landing zone. It is important never to underestimate the
possibility of an engine failure.

Always take into consideration that you may not have enough
thrust to clear an obstacle; better prevent and be at a safe
altitude before maneuvering close to an obstacle.

Pay particular attention to swinging movements caused by
the change of trimming of your wing which can cause you to
fall 13-16 feet in altitude (4-5 meters).

Always have a landing zone available in the event the engine
quits and an emergency landing is required.

For your own safety, ALWAYS avoid flying over water in order
to prevent damage to yourself or the engine.
