• Never fly in rain, strong winds or at night.
Water can cause failure or improper operation and impair the control of the model, with the risk of a crash.
• Never turn off the power switch in flight when the model‘s engine is running or the battery is connected.
In this case, control of the model will be impossible, and the model will crash. Even if you turn the switch back
on, normal operation will not resume until the internal transmitter and receiver initialization processes are
completed.
• Do not start the internal combustion engine or electric motor while wearing the neck strap. The strap can be
caught by a spinning propeller, rotor, etc. and cause serious injury.
• Never fly in range check mode
In this mode, the transmitter operates at reduced power and a crash could occur.
• Do not fly if you are physically or mentally indisposed, as this can be dangerous to yourself and others. Also,
never fly under the influence of alcohol, narcotics or drugs affecting your senses.
• Do not fly near other model airports, near or over people, near residential buildings, schools, hospitals, or other
places where people congregate, near high voltage power lines, tall buildings and structures, or communication
facilities.
• If you place the transmitter on the ground in preparation for flight, do not place it in an upright position.
The transmitter may tip over, the controls may become misaligned, and the propeller or rotor may spin unexpec-
tedly and cause injury.
• Do not touch internal combustion engines, electric motors or controllers during or immediately after operation.
These devices can become very hot during operation.
• For safety reasons, always fly with the model in line of sight at all times.
Getting behind buildings or other large objects will not only cause you to lose sight of the model, but the ob-
struction will prevent the RF signal from the transmitter from propagating and cause you to lose control of the
model.
• Always set fail-safe emergency rates for safety.
Take special care to set the throttle to neutral in case of an emergency.
• Always check the charge level of the transmitter and receiver batteries before each takeoff.
Low voltage will cause loss of control of the model and a crash.
• At the beginning of each flight day, check the operation of all control surfaces and perform a range check. If using
the Trainer function, check that the model responds properly to both teacher and student transmitter controls.
Even an incorrect setting of a single transmitter or model function can cause a crash.
• Before turning on the transmitter:
1. Always pull the throttle control all the way down (to neutral).
2. Turn the transmitter on first, then the receiver.
• Before turning off the transmitter after the internal combustion engine or electric motor has stopped (is in a con-
dition where it cannot start again):
1. Turn off the receiver power switch.
2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.
If you turn the power on/off in reverse order, the propeller or rotor may spin unexpectedly and cause injury.
Also, follow the above order when setting fail-safe emergency rates.
• When setting the transmitter, turn the engine off/shut down unless its operation is necessary for the setting. In
the case of an electric motor, disconnect its cables. Use extra caution when setting the transmitter while the mo-
tor is running. Ensure that the model is properly secured and cannot come into contact with anyone or anything.
An unexpected increase in RPM can cause serious injury.
