Warning notes
The contents of this kit can be assembled to produce a working model, but the
• • • •
model is by no means a harmless plaything. If assembled incorrectly or handled
incompetently or carelessly it can cause serious injury to persons and damage to
property.
When the model helicopter's engine is running, the two rotors are spinning at high
• • • •
speed and contain an enormous quantity of rotational energy. Anything and
everything that gets into the rotational plane of the rotors is either damaged or
destroyed - and that includes parts of your body. Please take extreme care at all
times with this machine.
If any object obstructs the rotational plane of the revolving rotors the rotor blades
• • • •
will probably be severely damaged as well as the object. Broken parts may fly off
and result in enormous imbalance; the whole helicopter then falls into sympathetic
vibration, you lose control and have no way of predicting what the model will do
next.
You may also lose control if a problem arises in the radio control system, perhaps
• • • •
as a result of outside interference, component failure or flat or faulty batteries, but in
any case the result is the same: the model helicopter's response is entirely
unpredictable. Without prior warning it may move off in any direction.
Helicopters have many parts which are naturally subject to wear, including gearbox
• • • •
components, motor, ball-links etc., and as a result it is absolutely essential to check
and maintain the model regularly. It is standard practice with full-size aircraft to give
the machine a thorough „pre-flight check" before every flight, and this is equally
important with your model helicopter. Constant checking gives you the opportunity
to detect and correct any faults which may develop before they are serious enough
to cause a crash.
The kit also includes two further information sheets - SHW 3 and SHW 7 - which
• • • •
include safety notes and warnings. Please be sure to read them and keep to our
recommendations. They are an essential part of these instructions.
This helicopter is designed to be constructed and operated by adults, although
• • • •
young people of 16 years or more may do so under the instruction and supervision
of competent adults.
The model features sharp points and edges which may cause injury.
• • • •
Flying model aircraft is subject to certain legal restrictions, and these must be
• • • •
observed at all times. For example, you must take out third part insurance, you must
obtain permission to use the flying site, and you may have to obtain a licence to use
your radio control system (varies from country to country).
It is important to transport your model helicopter (e.g. to the flying site) in such a
• • • •
way that there is no danger of damaging the machine. Particularly vulnerable areas
are the rotor head linkages and the tail rotor generally.
