IMPORTANT NOTES – ELECTRICAL • Insulate any exposed electrical wiring (using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape) to prevent dangerous short circuits. Take maximum care in wiring, connecting and insulating cables. Make sure cables are always connected securely. Check connectors for if they become loose. And if so, reconnect them securely. Never use R/C models with damaged wires. A damaged wire is extremely dangerous, and can cause short-circuits resulting in fire.
