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, referring to the Parts List, as 

we cannot exchange components which you have already modified

. If you find any

part is not acceptable for any reason, we will readily correct or exchange it once we have examined the faulty component. 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 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.

Note

: please remove the illustration pages from the centre of the instructions.

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 adhesives only produce a superficial bond which gives way when stressed. Please use medium-
viscosity cyano-acrylate glue exclusively, preferably our Zacki-ELAPOR®, # 59 2727 - the cyano glue optimised
specifically for ELAPOR® particle foam.
If you use Zacki-ELAPOR® you will find that you do not need cyano kicker or activator for most joints. However, if
you wish to use a different adhesive, and are therefore obliged to use kicker / activator spray, we recommend that
you apply the material in the open air to avoid health problems.
Please take care when handling cyano-acrylate adhesives. These materials harden in seconds, so you should
avoid getting 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.
