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”.
