Working on and flying radio controlled aircraft can be dangerous, even lethal. Exercise great care, as you are the one responsible for what happens to you or others. Should you try to do anything that we have discussed or demonstrated here or on our YouTube channel, you need to personally evaluate the safety requirements and put into place any safety measures that may be required.
