General Safety
1. Periodically check tightness off all bolts, nuts, set screws and pins. Loose parts
could be ejected from your model causing injury, or causing the model to crash.
2. Replace broken or worn components with original parts only. It is important to
locate and understand the cause of failure (including pilot error) to prevent
recurring problems.
3. Never modify any part of the main rotor or tail rotor systems or drive train.
Modifications could lead to part failure.
4. Always replace the main and tail rotor blades in sets if damaged.
5. Do not store your model in direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light
can weaken some types of plastics.
6. When flying in very cold conditions be aware that metals and plastics (even
flexible ones) can become brittle and break or shatter.
7. Keep your model, radio and field equipment clean and in good repair. While
cleaning and maintaining your model you can often find and fix potential
problems before they occur (such as loose or damaged parts).
