By using ALTA 8, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to this
disclaimer. You agree that you are solely responsible for your conduct while using
ALTA 8, and for any direct or indirect consequences that may result from its use. You
agree to only use ALTA 8 for proper purposes that are in accordance with local and
airspace rules and regulations.
»
ALTA 8 is not a toy and should be operated with extreme care, as improper
operation can cause damage to property, serious personal injury or death.
»
As with any multi-rotor aircraft, ALTA 8 is a complex and technical
machine. Novice pilots should invest sufficient time on a flight
simulator and seek training from an experienced pilot prior to
operation. The ALTA 8 Aircraft Flight Manual and a flight simulator
are no substitute for training with an experienced pilot, particularly
when it comes to learning how to safely operate ALTA 8. Novice pilots
should never fly without the supervision of an experienced pilot.
»
Always check ALTA 8 and its components prior to operation.
»
Always maintain a safe distance from ALTA 8 when in use.
»
Never attempt to touch ALTA 8 when the propellers are moving.
»
Never fly ALTA 8 over or around people, power lines or other aircraft.
»
Never fly with any propellers that have visible imperfections or damage.
»
Always keep children and animals a safe distance away from
ALTA 8 when in use and when changing configurations.
»
Only use propellers supplied by Freefly Systems
that are designed for use on ALTA 8.
»
Always remove the propellers or power ALTA 8 using a low power
source when making a change to the configuration of ALTA 8 to
prevent propeller strikes in the event of unintentional motor starts.
»
Always remove the configuration jumper when making
changes to the configuration of ALTA 8.
»
Always test ALTA 8 with the propellers removed to make sure that the
motors are spinning in the correct direction and that the motor assignment
is correct with respect to the Synapse flight controller. If you have either
of these wrong, the ALTA 8 will be uncontrollable and dangerous.
