PRECAUTIONS
Your Micro Fokker D.VII model 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
model, if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators
and damage to property.
1. Operate the plane according to the instructions. DO NOT alter or modify the model. If you make any
modifications, you void your warranty.
2. Test the operation of the model before each flight to ensure that all equipment is operating properly
and that the model remains structurally sound.
3. Fly only indoors or outdoors on very calm days (with wind speeds less than 5 mph) and in large open
areas free of trees, people, buildings, or any other obstacles.
4. Although the model is designed to be successfully flown by the first time pilot, you may still benefit
from the assistance of an experienced pilot for your first flights. 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 flying
instructions carefully and completely. We hope you enjoy flying your Micro Fokker D.VII model.
