R/C Helicopter Safety
A radio controlled model helicopter is not a toy, but rather a technically complex device that must be built
and operated with care. It is also a fascinating and challenging part of the R/C sport, the mastery of which
is very rewarding. A model helicopter must be built exactly in accordance with the building instructions. The

easy to build. The essentially bolt together construction can proceed quite rapidly, giving the builder a strong
sense of accomplishment that encourages hasty progress from one construction phase to the next, so that
the completed model can be more quickly seen and enjoyed. It is essential to recognize and guard against
this tendency. Follow building instructions exactly. Vibration and stress levels are high and all fasteners and
attachments must be secure for safe operation.

Warning! – Risk of death or serious injury
Remote Control (“R/C”) Helicopters can be dangerous. Inexperienced pilots of R/C Helicopters should
be trained and supervised by experienced operators. All operators should use safety glasses and other
appropriate safety equipment. All operators should exercise necessary precautions when fueling, repairing,
PDLQWDLQLQJÁ\LQJDQGVWRULQJ5&+HOLFRSWHUVDQGZKHQXVLQJRUVWRULQJ5&+HOLFRSWHUDFFHVVRULHV
equipment, fuels, and related materials. R/C Helicopters should be used only in open areas free of obstacles
and far enough from people to minimize the possibility of injury from the helicopter or any of its components

and operation of his products, no responsibility or liability can be assumed for their use.
