Always pay particular attention to the flying field’s rules, as well as the presence and location of spectators,
the wind direction, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings,

To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:

1. Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.

2. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
3. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.
