IMPORTANT NOTES

NOTE FOR ASSEMBLY

R/C helicopters, including the Chase 360 are not toys. R/C helicopters utilize

 

various high-tech products and technologies to provide superior performance.

 

Improper use of this product can 

result in serious injury or even death. Please read

 

this manual carefully before using and make sure to be conscious of your own

 

personal safety and the safety of others and your environment 

when  operating  all  CHASE  products.  Chase  360,  KDS  Model,  their  affiliates  and  authorized  distributors  are  not  responsible  for  personal  injuries  to  the  operators  and  others,  and  property 
damages that could occur from the assembly, maintenance or your use/misuse of this product.  Always respect the rules provided by your local remote control aircraft organization. 

The following manual provide important instructions to correctly assemble the model. It is structured in a logical way, based on the work done in previous step. If you change the order, it may 
result in additional or unnecessary steps. So we suggest you to read this user manual very carefully to understand correctly the assembly procedure. Failure to do so may not only downgrade 
performances but also increase the risk of danger. Apply thread lock as indicated, allow the threadlock to cure before mounting parts. It is recommended to use threadlock on each bolt or 
screw that are engaged with metal parts.

   LOCATE AN  APPROPRIATE  LOCATION 

R/C helicopters fly at high speed, thus posing a certain degree of potential danger. Choose an appropriate flying site consisting of flat, smooth ground, a clear 
open field, or a large open room, such as gymnasium or warehouse without obstacles. Do not fly near buildings, high voltage cables, or trees to ensure the 
safety of yourself, others and your model. Do not play your model in inclement weather, such as rain, wind

snow or darkness.

   OBTAIN THE ASSISTANCE OF AN EXPERIENCED PILOT

Before turning on your model and transmitter, check to make sure no one else is operating

 

on the same frequency. Frequency interference can cause your 

model,  or  other  models  to

 

crash.  The  guidance  provided  by  an  experienced  pilot  will  be  invaluable  for  the  assembly,

 

tuning,  trimming,  and  actual  first

 

flight(recommend you to practice with computer-based

 

flight simulator).

damage the environment. Be conscious of your actions, and careful to keep your face, eyes, hands, and

 

loose clothing away from the blades. Always fly the 

model a safe distance from yourself and others, as well as surrounding objects. Never take your eyes off the model or leave it unattended while it is turned on. 
lmmediately turn off the model and transmitter
