SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injury to
yourself and others.
Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the plane of
rotation of the rotors whenever the battery is connected.
Keep these items away from the rotors: loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarfs,
long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of
shirt or jacket pockets into the rotors.
The spinning blades of a model helicopter can cause serious injury. When
choosing a fl ying site for your Novus UH-1D Huey CX, stay clear of buildings,
trees and power lines. AVOID fl ying in or near crowded areas. DO NOT fl y close
to people, children or pets. Maintain a safe pilot-to-helicopter distance while fl ying.
Your Novus UH-1D Huey CX should not be considered a toy, but rather a
sophisticated, working model that functions very much like a full-size helicopter.
Because of its performance capabilities, the Novus UH-1D Huey CX, if not
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and
damage to property.
Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an unsafe or unfl yable
model. In a few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In
those instances the written instructions should be considered as correct.
You must check the operation of the model before every fl ight to insure that all
equipment is operating and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be
sure to check linkages or other connectors often and replace them if they show
any signs of wear or fatigue.
