Examine your kit carefully!
MULTIPLEX model kits are subject to constant quality checks throughout the production process, and we sincerely hope that you are
completely satisfied with the contents of your kit. However, we would ask you to check all the parts (referring to the Parts List) before
you start construction, as we cannot exchange components which you have already modified. If you find a part is not acceptable for
any reason, we will gladly correct the defect or replace the item in question once we have inspected it. Please send the component
to our Service Department, with adequate postage pre-paid, being sure to include the completed complaints form. We are constantly
working on improvements to our models, and for this reason we must reserve the right to change the kit contents in terms of shape or
dimensions of parts, technology, materials and fittings, without prior notification. Please understand that we cannot entertain claims
against us if the kit contents do not agree in every respect with the instructions and the illustrations.
Caution!
Radio-controlled models, and especially model aircraft, are by no means playthings in the usual sense of the term. Building
and operating them safely requires a certain level of technical competence and manual skill, together with discipline and a
responsible attitude at the flying field.
Errors and carelessness in building and flying the model can result in serious personal injury and damage to property. Since we, as
manufacturers, have no control over the construction, maintenance and operation of our products, we are obliged to take this oppor-
tunity to point out these hazards and to emphasise your personal responsibility.
Warning:
Like every aeroplane, this model has static limits. Steep dives and senseless manoeuvres inappropriate to the type may result in the
loss of the aircraft. Please note: we will not replace the model in such cases. It is your responsibility to approach the airframe's limits
gradually. It is designed for the power system recommended in these instructions, but is only capable of withstanding the flight loads
if built exactly as described and if it is in an undamaged state.
Important note
This model is not made of Styrofoam™, and it is not possible to glue the material using white glue, polyurethane or epoxy; these ad-
hesives only produce superficial joints, and simply break away under stress. Please be sure to use medium-viscosity cyano-acrylate
glue exclusively, preferably Zacki ELAPOR® # 59 2727, which is optimised specifically for ELAPOR® particle foam. If you use Zacki
ELAPOR® there is usually no need for cyano 'kicker' or activator. However, if you wish to use a different adhesive which requires the
use of activator, please note that these materials are injurious to health, and should always be applied in the open air. Take care when
handling all cyano-acrylate adhesives, as they harden in seconds, so don't get them on your fingers or other parts of the body. We
strongly recommend the use of goggles to protect your eyes. Keep the adhesive out of the reach of children! For certain joints it is also
possible to use hot-melt adhesive; the instructions indicate where this is the case.
Working with Zacki ELAPOR®
Zacki ELAPOR® has been developed specifically for glued joints in our models which consist of moulded ELAPOR® foam parts.
Please observe the following points in order to obtain perfect joints:
• Avoid the use of activator. 'Kicker' significantly weakens the joint. We advise leaving joined parts for 24 hours to obtain maximum
strength, particularly when the glued area is large.
• Activator should only be used for temporary, small-area joints ('tacking'). Spray a little activator on one surface, and allow it to air-dry
for about thirty seconds.
• To obtain maximum joint strength you should lightly sand the surface with 320-grit abrasive paper before applying glue.
Bent parts - actually don't exist. If you find that a component has taken up a curve, perhaps after being transported, it is easy to straigh-
ten again. In this respect ELAPOR® behaves in a similar way to metal: bend the component back slightly beyond the correct position,
and the material will then spring back to its proper shape when released, and maintain it. There are limits, however - don't overdo it!
