1. Examine your kit carefully!
MULTIPLEX models are subject to constant quality checks throughout the production process, and we sincerely hope that
you are happy with the contents of your kit. However, we would ask you to check all the parts
before you start construction, with
reference to the parts list, as we cannot exchange components which you have already worked on . If you find any part is not
acceptable for any reason, we will readily correct or exchange it once we have examined it. Just send the component to our
Model Department. Please be
sure to include a brief description of the fault.
We are constantly working on improving 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 normal sense of the word.
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 opportunity to point out these
hazards, and to emphasise your personal responsibility.

Important information - gluing foam components:
The “MOVIE STAR” model is not made of styrofoam but ELAPOR! As adhesives we recommend cyano-acrylate (“cyano”)
and contact cement such as UHU Kraftkleber or UHU POR. 5-minute epoxy should only be used in conjunction with a
coupling layer of cyano, with a sprinkling of micro-balloons. Cyano should always be used together with cyano activator.
Parts to be joined are wetted on one side with activator, which is then allowed to air-dry. Cyano (medium-viscosity type)
is applied to the opposite side, and the parts brought together. White glue is not suitable, and epoxy-based adhesives
should not be used without the coupling layer.
