|---|---|
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY WHEN POSSIBLE IF WORKING ON THE HELICOPTER. IF YOU MUST WORK ON A LIVE HELI, THEN DISCONNECT AT LEAST ONE OF THE MOTOR LEADS SO THE MAIN ROTOR/TAIL ROTOR WILL NOT SPIN UP AND MAIM YOU. | |
If the main rotor or tail rotor spins up and maims or kills you, this will probably slow down your helicopter learning process, so please try to avoid this.
