in the workshop. A thorough check of the model before every flight
is essential. However, you should also take into account at all times
that material failures can and do occur. Never fly in a location
where your model may damage or injure others.
• Keep within the stated operating limits. Excessively violent flying
will weaken the airframe, and may result in sudden material failure,
or may cause the model to crash during a subsequent flight due to
“creeping” consequent damage.
• Fire hazard caused by electronic failure or malfunction. Store bat-
teries safely, and always observe safety notes which apply to the
airborne electronic components, the battery and the battery charg-
er. Protect all electronic equipment from damp. Ensure that the
speed controller and battery are adequately cooled.

Safety Information for MULTIPLEX model kits
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 before you start construction, 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. Just
send the component to our Model Department. Please be sure to include
the purchase receipt and 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. 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 buil-
ding and flying the model can result in serious personal injury and da-
mage 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.
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 descri-
bed and if it is in an undamaged state.
