THE BEGGINER RC HELICOPTER PILOT

If you are considering the sport of radio controlled helicopters, the first thing you must remember is cost. This is a fun and adventurous sport, but it is not cheap. Crashes will happen and repairs will have to be made at an expense. So please keep that in mind. So until you can pilot AIRWOLF (remember that television show) you have to be dedicated, patience and committed to the sport Do not think you are going to go out and buy a radio controlled helicopter, crash it, fix it in one day, and then hit the sky like an expert the next day.

SAFETY IS AS SAFETY DOES! Translation flying a radio controlled helicopter is safe only if you are safe.

The rotating main blades of the helicopter, and the blade tip spins at 200-1500 rpm, with a blade radius of about 1 meter. It will easily cut thru skin and bones.

Never fly a model helicopter until you are able to control the helicopter.always fly in open space, and in the event that you loose control, no one, including yourself, will be in the way of a runaway helicopter.

Register your radio with your local telecommunication authorities, and get some form of insurance coverage if your model were to hit other people's property or life.

All these small precautions will put your mind at ease and you can then fully enjoy the trill of learning, building, and flying the most sophisticated radio control model every designed - The RC Model Helicopter!

HAVE FUN !!!!
