PRECAUTIONS

Your Tidewater EP Sea Plane should not be considered a toy, 

but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very 
much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance 
capabilities, the “Tidewater EP Sea Plane,” if not assembled 
and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself 
or spectators and damage to property.

1. Operate the plane 

according to instructions

DO NOT

 

alter or modify the model. If you make any modifi cations, you 
void your warranty.

2. 

Test

 the operation of the model 

before each fl ight

 to insure 

that all equipment is operating properly and that the model 
remains structurally sound.

3. Fly only in large open areas free of trees, people, buildings, 
or any other obstacles.

4. Although the “Tidewater EP Sea Plane” is designed to 

be successfully fl own by the fi rst time pilot, you may still 
benefi t from the assistance of an experienced pilot for your 
fi rst fl ights. If you’re not a member of an R/C club, your local 
hobby shop has information about clubs in your area whose 
membership includes experienced pilots. You can also contact 
the National Academy of Aeronautics (AMA) which has over 
2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Instructor training 
programs and insured newcomer training are available through 
any of these clubs. Contact the AMA at the following address 
or toll-free phone number:

The R/C model hobby becomes more and more enjoyable 

as your experience grows. Your chances for success and 
graduation to higher levels are very good if you take your time 
and follow the fl ying instructions carefully and completely. We 
hope you enjoy fl ying your “Tidewater EP Sea Plane”.
