AMA

We urge you to join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) and a local R/C 

club. The AMA is the governing body of model aviation and membership is 
required to fly at AMA clubs. Though joining the AMA provides many benefits, 
one of the primary reasons to join is liability protection. Coverage is not limited 
to  flying  at  contests  or  on  the  club  field.  It  even  applies  to  flying  at  public 
demonstrations and air shows. Failure to comply with the Safety Code may 
endanger insurance coverage. Additionally, training programs and instructors are 
available at AMA club sites to help you get started the right way. There are over 

2,500 AMA chartered clubs across the country. Contact the AMA at the address 

or toll-free phone number that follows.

IMPORTANT: 

Two of the most important things you can do to preserve the radio 

controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid flying near full-scale aircraft and avoid 
flying near or over groups of people.

BATTERY WARNINGS

 

 ALWAYS

 unplug your battery from either the charger or quadcopter after use. 

NEVER

 store your quadcopter with the battery plugged into the quadcopter.

  

DO NOT

  The RXS255 does not have a voltage cutoff/failsafe. When the alarm sounds, 

land the quad and disconnect the battery.

  It is best to store your batteries in a cool, dry location at 1/2 charge (15.2V). 

Storing a fully discharged battery may cause irreversible damage to the battery.

 

 NEVER

 disassemble, puncture or modify the battery pack in any way.

 

 NEVER

 allow the battery temperature to exceed 150° F [65° C].

  If your battery begins to swell or “puff” during charge or discharge or becomes 

damaged in any way, stop using it.
