14.4. Always disconnect the battery when working on the
helicopter
Warning
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY WHEN POSSIBLE IF WORKING ON
THE HELICOPTER. IF YOU MUST WORK ON A LIVE HELI, THEN DISCON-
NECT 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.

14.5. Liability insurance
A membership in your country's local R/C modeling club is highly recommended because it
provides insurance coverage in case you damage something. This is very useful if your heli
damages somebody's car, or injures someone.
In the USA a membership in the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) provides insurance
coverage.
In the UK the British Model Flying Association (BMFA) provides this service.
