Locate an appropriate location :R/C helicopters fly at high speed. thus posing a certain degree of potential danger. Choose an appropriate flying site consisting of flat, smooth ground, a clear open field, or a large open room, such as gymnasium or warehouse without obstacles. Do not fly near buildings, high voltage cables, or trees to ensure the safety of yourself, others. and your model. Do not fly your model in inclement weather, such as rain, wind, snow, or darkness.

Obtain the assistance of an experienced pilot :Before turning on your model and transmitter check to make sure no one else is operating on the same frequency. Frequency interference can cause your model or other models to crash The guidance provided by an experienced pilot will be invaluable for the assembly tuning trimming and actual first flight (Recommend you to practice with computer based flight simulator).

Always be aware of the rotating blades :During the operation of the helicopter the main rotor and tail rotor will be spinning at a high rate of speed The blades are capable of inflicting serious bodily injury and damage to the environment Be conscious of your actions and careful to keep your face eyes hands and loose clothing away from the blades Always fly the model a safe distance from yourself and others as well as surrounding objects Never take your eyes off the model or leave it unattended while it is turned on immediately turn off the model and transmitter when you have landed the model.

R/C helicopters including the STORM helicopters are not toys. R/C helicopters utilize various high tech products and technologies to provide superior performance. The rotating blades on the model spin at high speed and can cause potential risk or injury if used improperly. It is mandatory that you observe all R/C safety rules and adhere to local laws as applicable We recom-mend that you contact your local hobby store and inquire about safety rules regulations and local laws and statutes regarding R/C model operation in your area. Please make sure to be conscious of your own personal safety and the safety of others and your environment when operating all STORM products. When used properly, STORM products will provide years of R/C entertainment.

We recommend that you obtain the assistance of an experienced pilot before attempting to fly our products for the first time. A local expert is the best way to properly assemble. setup, and fly your model for the first time.

The STROM Helicopters requires a certain degree of skill to operate, and is a consumer item.
