Flying Precautions
WARNING
Never grasp the transmitter antenna while
flying.
■ The transmitter output may drop drastically.
Always make sure that all transmitter stick
movements operate all servos properly in the
model prior to flight. Also, make sure that all
switches, etc. function properly as well. If there
are any difficulties, do not use the system until all
inputs are functioning properly.
Never fly in range check mode.
■ In the dedicated range test range check mode, the
transmitter output range is reduced and may cause a
crash.
While operating, never touch the transmitter
with, or bring the transmitter near, another trans-
mitter, a cellphone, or other wireless devices.
■ Doing so may cause erroneous operation.
Do not point the antenna directly toward the
aircraft during flight.
■ The antenna is directional and the transmitter output
is weakest. (The strength of the radio waves is greatest
from the sides of the antenna.)
Never fly on a rainy day, when the wind is
strong, or at night.
■ Water could lead to failure or improper functionality
and poor control of the aircraft which could lead to a
crash.
Never turn the power switch off during flight
or while the engine or motor is running.
■ Operation will become impossible and the aircraft will
crash. Even if the power switch is turned on, operation
will not begin until transmitter and receiver internal
processing is complete.
Do not start the engine or motor while wearing
the neck strap.
■ The neck strap may become entangled with the rotat-
ing propeller, rotor, etc. and cause a serious injury.
Do not fly when you are physically impaired as
it could pose a safety hazard to yourself or others.
