guidance and instructions about fl ying in your area.
• When working with a model, always power on the
transmitter fi rst and power off the transmitter last.
• After a model is bound to a transmitter and the model is set
up in the transmitter, always bind the model to the
transmitter again to establish failsafe settings.
PILOT SAFETY
