4. You must properly install all R/C and other
components so that the model operates properly
on the ground and in the air
5. You must test the operation of the model
before the first and each successive flight to insure

certain that the model has remained structurally
sound.

competent help of a well experienced R/C pilot if
you are not already an experienced and
knowledgeable R/C pilot at this time.
Note: We, as the kit manufacturer, can
provide you with a top quality kit and
great instructions, but ultimately the
quality and flyability of your finished
model depends on how you build 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
directions to end up with a well-built model that
is straight and true.
