This is NOT a toy! It is a very high-performance RC airplane capable of high speeds and extreme maneuvers. It
should only be operated by a competent pilot in a safe area with proper supervision.
ONLY fly your aircraft in a safe, open area, away from spectators and vehicles–and where it is legal to fly.
NEVER fly over an unsafe area, such as a road or street.
Never fly too close to yourself or spectators.
Never run your motor inside a house or building with the propeller attached – Remove the prop for safety.
