R/C Helicopter Safety
A model helicopter must be built exactly in accordance with the assembly instructions. Compass Model Ltd has spent much
time and efforts refining this product to make it reliable in operation and easy to build. Vibration and stress levels are high and
all fasteners and attachments must be secure for safe operation. Safe operation is the responsibility of the builder/flyer and
starts with careful construction and continues with selection and installation of reliable radio equipment and motor/engine.
The need for safety is nowhere greater than at the flying field. A number of guidelines for safe flight have been developed by
experienced flyers and are set down here. It is urged that they be read, understood and followed.
Each flying field has its own sets of safety guidelines which cannot be expressed here, so prior to any flight, refer
to the guidelines at your Flying Field.
Attention:
The radio-controlled model helicopter contained in this kit is not a toy, but a sophisticated piece of equipment. This product
is not recommended for use by children. Radio-controlled models such as this are capable of causing both property damage
and/or bodily harm to both the operator/assembler and/or spectator if not properly assembled and operated. Compass
Model Ltd. assumes no liability for damage that could occur from the assembly and/or use/misuse of this product. The 3D
Plus is a large glow powered model, it should be assembled and operated with special care. When operating your 3D Plus,
please exercise caution and safety.
• Fly only at approved flying fields and obey field regulations.
• Follow frequency control procedures. Interference can be dangerous to all.
• Obtain guidance from experienced pilots.
•
• Know your radio. Check all transmitter functions before each flight.
• Be aware that rotating blades are very dangerous and can cause serious injury.
• Never fly near or above spectators or other modelers.
• Do not fly r/c helicopter models near buildings, high voltage cables, trees or other obstacles.
• If a beginner, get help trimming the model first and flight training later.
• Don’t “track” the main blades by holding the tail boom. This is a temptation to builders who cannot hover yet and is very dangerous.
• Follow all recommended maintenance procedures for model, radio and motor.
• Only turn off the radio after the engine is shut down.
The guidance provided by experienced pilots is often valuable and sometimes necessary.

When first opening your 3D Plus kit, you will notice that all of the parts are packaged and numbered to coordinate with the
assembly step numbers of this instruction manual. All small hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) for each step are packaged
separately within the main parts bags. When beginning a section, you will need to open only the bag with the corresponding
number to the section you are about to start. It is suggested that you place all of the hardware in an open container (e.g., servo
case) during assembly so as not to lose any of the small parts. It may also be helpful to familiarize yourself with the various
sizes of screws, bolts, nuts, etc., as illustrated in the appropriate assembly section before you begin assembly. In most cases, at
the end of each assembly section, there should be no parts remaining. Great care has been taken in filling the bags with the
correct quantity of parts and hardware for each section. However, occasional mistakes happen. In the event that you find a
parts shortage or are in need of technical assistance, please contact your local Compass Model parts dealer.

In this step, push the Flybar through
the Flybar Collar, Flybar Holder, and
Flybar Control Arm. Using set screws,
fix the Arms and Collars onto the
Flybar. Make sure that both sides of the
Flybar are of equal lengths.
