8. While this kit has been flight-tested to meet or exceed our rigid performance and reliability
standards in normal use, if you plan to perform any extremely high-stress flying, such as
racing or advanced aerobatics, or if you plan to install a larger engine (or motor) than
specified, you (the buyer or user of this product) are solely responsible for taking any and all
necessary steps to reinforce the high-stress points and/or substitute hardware that is more
suitable for such increased stresses.
9. This model may include fiberglass and/or carbon-fiber reinforced plastic parts that may
require some cutting or sanding. Carbon-fiber and fiberglass dust may cause eye, skin and
respiratory tract irritation. If you ever grind, drill or sand such parts, always wear safety
goggles, a particle mask and rubber gloves; never blow into such a part to remove fiberglass
or carbon-fiber dust, as the dust may blow back into your eyes.
