6. While this ARF has been fl ight-tested to exceed normal
use, if an engine larger than one in the recommended
range is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps
to reinforce the high stress points and/or substituting
hardware more suitable for the increased stress.
We, as the ARF manufacturer, provide you with a top
quality, thoroughly tested ARF and instructions, but ul-
timately the quality and fl yability of your fi nished model
depends on how you assemble it; therefore, we cannot
in any way guarantee the performance of your completed
model, and no representations are expressed or implied
as to the performance or safety of your completed model.
REMEMBER:
Take your time and follow the instructions
to end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
