Maintenance and Security
A radio controlled model helicopter is not a toy. Bad maintenance and
fl
ying can result in seri-
ous accidents and injuries.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFO-
RE YOU BUILD AND FLY THE HELI BABY NT.
Always keep the following rules in mind:
- During motor tests on the workbench, remove main and tailrotor blades and take care that
nothing can get caught in the rotating parts of the model.
- With electric helicopters unintentional starting of the motor is all to easily done. Once you
have connected the
fl
ight battery keep well clear of the arc of the main and tailrotors!
- If you need to make adjustments, change or program any settings of the helicopter, ESC or
fl
ybar system, remove two of the three motor cables to eliminate the risk of a sudden motor
start.
- Keep your distance from the model, at least 5m (15ft.) during hovering.
- Never aim your helicopter at people or property. Always keep the model at least 20 metres
(60ft) from people or property.
- Remove all Lipo batteries from the model when not in use and store them in a
fi
reproof
container or on a
fi
re resistant
fl
oor.
-It is important that for the
fi
rst
fl
ights of the model not to over discharge the Lipo batteries. If
possible use a telemetry system to advise of the remaining capacity/
fl
ight time.
- If possible always
fl
y at an organised model
fl
ying club. If you are unable to
fl
y at a
fl
ying club
it is YOUR responsibility to get the land owners permission to
fl
y and
fl
y in a safe manner not
putting people or property at risk.
In the event of a crash, always remember to activate throttle hold to turn off the motor and
disconnect the
fl
ight battery to make the model safe.
