Warning notes
•
The contents of this kit can be assembled to produce a working helicopter, but the
model is by no means a harmless plaything. If assembled incorrectly or handled in-
competently or carelessly it can cause serious personal injury and property damage.
•
When the model helicopter’s motor is running, the two rotors spin at high speed and
contain an enormous quantity of rotational energy. Anything that gets into the rota-
tional plane of the rotors is either destroyed or seriously damaged - and that includes
parts of your body. Please take extreme care at all times with this machine.
•
If any object impedes the rotational plane of the revolving rotors, severe damage will
probably be caused to the rotor blades as well as to the object. Broken parts may fly
off and cause enormous imbalance; the whole helicopter then falls into sympathetic
vibration, you lose control and have no way of predicting what the model will do next.
•
You may also lose control if a problem arises in the radio control system, perhaps as a
result of outside interference, component failure or flat or faulty batteries, but in any
case the result is the same: the model helicopter’s response is entirely unpredictable.
Without prior warning it may move off in any direction.
•
Helicopters contain many parts which are by their nature subject to wear, including
the gearbox, motor, ball-links etc., and as a result it is essential to check and maintain
the model regularly. It is standard practice with full-size aircraft to give the machine a
thorough “pre-flight check” before every flight, and this is equally important with your
model helicopter. Constant checking gives you the opportunity to detect and correct
any faults which may develop before they become serious enough to cause a crash.
•
The kit may also include additional information sheets which contain safety notes and
warnings. Please be sure to read them and keep to our recommendations; these
sheets are an essential part of the instructions.
•
This helicopter is designed to be assembled and operated by adults, although young
people of sixteen years and over may do so under the instruction and supervision of a
competent adult.
•
The model features sharp points and edges which are capable of causing injury.
•
The flying of model aircraft is subject to certain legal restrictions, and these must be
observed at all times. For example, it is essential to obtain permission to use your
chosen flying site, and you may have to obtain a licence to use your radio control
system (regulations vary from country to country). It is now a legal requirement to take
out third party insurance to cover the risks inherent in model flying.
•
It is important to transport your model helicopter (e.g. to the flying site) in such a way
that there is no danger of damaging the machine. Particularly vulnerable areas are the
rotor head linkages and the tail rotor generally.
•
Controlling a model helicopter successfully is not a simple skill; you will need persis-
tence to learn the art, and good hand - eye co-ordination is a basic requirement.
