We are sure that it will provide you with many hours of enjoyment. Please take the time to read this entire manual before building this boat. You will become familiar with the building order, and less likely to make mistakes. This kit is not a toy. Although R/C boating is a fun and rewarding hobby, it can be dangerous if not done with common sense and safety in mind. Just about anyone should be able to build this kit, but it should not be operated by children without close adult supervision. Here are a few safety tips:  Never operate your boat alone. If you get hurt, you may not be able to drive for help.  Never, ever operate your boat in an area where there are full size boats or swimmers. If something happens, a 15 pound object traveling at 50+ mph can do serious damage.  Always use a failsafe. This shuts the engine off in the event of radio signal loss. Test the failsafe each day of running, by shutting off your transmitter.  Always carry a fire extinguisher, as gasoline is extremely flammable. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages or other loss in the use of this product, as we have no control over the construction or end use of this product.
