Weekender Warbirds are radio control model planes designed for novice pilots over the age of 14. Improper
assembly or user negligence can lead to serious injury and/or property damage to yourself or other persons.
Weekender is not responsible for any damages or injuries caused by the user’s negligence or improper assem-
bly of the model. Be sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly before assembly and fl ying.
Safety is of the utmost importance when fl ying any model aircraft. Third party insurance is mandatory. If you
join a model club or association, suitable coverage will usually be available through the organization. It is
your personal responsibility to ensure that your insurance is adequate (i.e. that its coverage includes pow-
ered model aircraft). Always fl y in such a way that you do not endanger yourself or others. Bear in mind that
even the best RC systems are subject to outside interference. No matter how many years of accident-free
fl ying you have, there is always the possibility of an unforeseen problem or error that can cause an accident.
Make it your job to keep your models and your radio control system in perfect operating condition at all
times. Check and observe the correct charging procedure for the batteries you are using.
Before every fl ight, check that the wings and the tail panels are attached and fi rmly seated. Also check
to make sure that each control surface is operating correctly.
