Safety rules:
Radio controlled helicopters are not toys. The wrong use of such models can cause
accidents with serious injuries.
Therefore please bear the following rules in mind:
-For engine running tests on your workbench remove the complete mainrotor
including all rods and the tailrotor blades. Make sure that nothing can come
in contact with the tailrotor assembly.
-With an electric helicopter there is a danger of sudden engine starts. So
remove the main-and tailrotor before connecting the battery packs.
-Don´t switch the controller off and on suddenly when running up. Wait some
seconds if retrying.
-In hovering flight please keep a distance of at least 5 metres from the
helicopter.
-When flighing DON’T aim at persons or other creatures and keep a safe
distance of at least 20 metres.
-Don´t fly in forward flight if your battery is nearly empty, if you can´t
autorotate in all situations. For landing calculate a safety reserve of at least
30 seconds or better one minute. Empty the battery while hovering.
-Don´t empty the battery absolutely completely in hovering, otherwise the
battery can be damaged.
-For the first flight a partner should tell you the flight time in intervals of 30
seconds so that you get a feeling for electric flight. After some time you feel
an empty battery by giving full pitch for a moment. When the rotorspeed
shuts down then you should search the ground for landing.
-Practice autorotations with running engine as soon as possible.
-When you see that a crash is unavoidable try to stop the engine before
ground contact.
Liability exclusion:
We can´t check for correct building, adjustment, maintanence and usage.
So no guarantee is possible.
