Safety Information
Flying models can be dangerous if proper safety precautions are not followed. Here are a few critical
safety suggestions to keep you and others safe.
Are you experienced?
Flying models is not an intuitive process. Most accomplished model pilots were taught by another
modeler. We encourage you to seek help during your early flight experiences and if required, during
the building and radio gear installation process. Unlike some other hobbies, model airplane flying has
evolved into a social event. There are approximately 2,500 model aircraft clubs in America. Friendship and
help could be right around the corner. Ask your local hobby shop about clubs in your area.
Where to Fly
Having enough land for your own model airport is rare. Most of us fly at club administrated model fields.
The local ball field can be tempting but rarely has the space needed and your liability is high should you
damage property or hurt an innocent bystander. We recommend you fly at a sanctioned model aircraft
field.
Join the AMA
In America, the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) is an organization of model enthusiasts that
provides resources and insurance to modelers. The AMA also lobbies the Government concerning
legislation that impacts modelers. Visit their web site for more information at www.modelaircraft.org.

Fundamental Guidelines for Safe Flying
1. Model aircraft can be dangerous when operated or maintained improperly.
2. DO NOT fly over people or personal property.
3. DO NOT fly in adverse weather conditions or high winds.
4. The equipment we use in the R/C hobby is sensitive electronic gear. Have receivers checked after
a crash before using them in another aircraft.
5. DO NOT fly under the influence of alcohol or drugs or if you are feeling ill.
6. DO NOT fly near power lines or transmission towers.
7. If available use the Fail-Safe function to lower the throttle in case of a signal “lock-out.”
8. DO NOT fly alone.
Safety Information Regarding Your Radio System
1. Make sure you do a range check before flying. If it does not range check satisfactorily, DO NOT fly.
2. Know the condition of your batteries. Make sure they are sufficiently charged.
3. Make sure all control surfaces respond correctly to the input from the transmitter.
4. Be sure that the throttle is off when turning on your airplane.
5. Always turn your transmitter on first and turn it off last.
6. If the controls don’t respond properly during flight, land immediately.
Flash 7 Programming Support
While every attempt was made by the Flash 7’s developers to make the software interface easy and
logical, most users will require programming help at some point. There are several “get help” options
available to you.
Hitec Customer Service
Help is available from the Hitec office through phone support and e-mail inquiries. The U.S. office is
generally open Monday thru Friday, AM 8:00 to PM 4:30 PST. These hours and days may vary by season.
Every attempt is made to answer every incoming service call, but should you get voice mail, leave your
name and number and a staff member will return your call.
Hitec Web Site
Make plans to visit the Hitec web site on a regular basis at www.hitecrcd.com. There you will find specs
and other information about the entire Hitec product line, and soon our FAQ pages will hold valuable
information about the Flash 7.
The On-Line Community
One of the benefits of the extensive R/C online community is the vast wealth of archived knowledge
available. Hitec sponsors forums on most of the popular R/C web sites where a Hitec staff member
or representative answers all manner of product related questions. Bringing together strangers with
common interests is proving to be one of the greatest gifts of the internet. If past history is any guide to
the future, we are certain forums will be started about the Flash 7.

All Hitec products carry a two year from date-of-purchase warranty against manufacturer’s defects. Our
trained and professional service representative will determine if the item will be repaired or replaced. To
