Attention
These Long Range Systems are capable to use radio frequency transmissions and output power that may be
not allowed in your country.
Please always check your local RF legislation to set the frequency and output power according with
the regulation.
A general rule for RC aircrafts is that they must be controlled always under sight of view, check your RC
regulation to keep up to date with regulations.
