Multiplex ROCKSTAR Notice De Construction page 15

Congratulations on your new ROCKSTAR!
You will need the following tools to build the model:
2 x Zacki-Elapor # 85 2727 (KIT) (1xRR)
1 x UHU Por (KIT)
Hot glue gun (KIT)
Medium-sized cross-point screwdriver (KIT)
Medium-sized slot-head screwdriver (KIT)
Balsa knife (KIT)
Pointed-nose pliers (KIT)
1.5 mm A/F allen key (KIT)
3 mm A/F allen key (KIT)
10 mm A/F open-ended spanner (KIT)
2.5 mm drill (KIT)
Before starting construction:
Please check that all the parts are present, referring to the
Parts List on page 18+19 (Figs. 01 & 02).
1. Assembling the fuselage (KIT)
Clip together the two parts 33 and 34 which form the spread-
er plate for the wing retaining bolt, and glue the joint with
Zacki. ! Caution ! Watch out for excess glue squirting out
when the parts are joined. Glue the Canopy Lock clip 31,
the cabane socket 28 and the wing bolt spreader plate in
the right-hand fuselage shell 5. Glue the two rudder hinge
pin supports 44 in the slots in the right-hand fi n shell. At the
same time glue the M5 nut support 39 and the tailwheel
bracket 40 in place.
Figs. 03 + 04
Slip a length of spring steel wire 73 through the snake out-
er sleeve 74, and lay it in the right-hand fuselage shell as
shown; the snake outer should project about 30 mm from
the tail end of the fuselage. Glue it in place permanently.
Figs. 05 – 07
Now glue the pre-assembled M-Frame 27 in the right-hand
fuselage shell 5.
Fig. 08
Working in a similar manner, glue the following parts in the
left-hand fuselage shell 4: the Canopy Lock clip 31 and the
cabane socket 28. A second spring steel rod 73 should now
be slipped into a snake outer sleeve 74, and fi tted in the
left-hand fuselage shell; this should also project at the tail
end by about 30 mm.
Figs. 09 – 11
Now offer up the two fuselage shells to each other dry
(WITHOUT glue), and check that they fi t together snugly at
all points. When you are confi dent that everything matches
up correctly, apply glue to the joint surfaces, fi t the two shells
together, and check that they are accurately aligned.
Figs. 12 + 13
With this step complete, it is time to paint the dummy pilot
in the colour scheme of your choice.
Please note that dark areas under the canopy may heat
up strongly if subjected to direct sunshine. If this should
happen, the ELAPOR foam may swell and bubble!
Apply the instrument panel sticker (decal sheet) to the
moulded-in binnacle inside the cockpit. When you are sat-
isfi ed with the appearance of your cockpit, glue the canopy
26 to the fuselage using UHU Por.

Locate the four magnets 58 which retain the cowl 6, and glue
them in the appropriate recesses at the front of the fuselage.
Fig. 15
Hold the rudder servo in your hand and centre it from the
transmitter. Drill out the outermost hole in the servo output
arm using a 2.5 mm Ø bit. Fit the output arm on the servo
shaft as shown in Fig. 16, and secure it with the output
screw. Mount the swivel pushrod connector 54 in the outer
hole in the output arm, securing it with the M2 self-locking nut
56. Fit an M3 grubscrew 55 in the open end of the pushrod
connector barrel.
Place the servo in the opening in the left-hand side of the
M-Frame, and secure it with the retaining screws supplied
with the servo.
Fig. 16
Repeat the procedure with the elevator servo, with this ex-
ception: fi t the output arm on the servo facing the opposite
direction. Install the elevator servo in the right-hand opening
in the M-Frame.
Fig. 17
Glue the four remaining magnets 58 in the appropriate
recesses in the cowl 6.
! CAUTION !: Ensure that the pairs of magnets attract,
rather than repel!
Fig. 18
Glue the two Canopy Lock lugs 32 in the slots in the fuse-
lage hatch 7.
Fig. 19
2. Assembling the undercarriage (KIT+RR)
Glue the left-hand wheel spat holder 45 in the inboard left-
hand wheel spat shell 18, then glue the outboard wheel spat
shell 19 to the inboard shell. Repeat the procedure with the
right-hand wheel spat (parts 20, 46 and 21).
Figs. 20 + 21
Place one lightweight wheel 67 in the left-hand wheel spat,
then slip the wheel axle (M4 x 40 mm machine screw) 64
through the spat and wheel. Fit an M4 nut 66 loosely on the
end of the screw. Fit a washer 65 on the screw, then slip it
through the hole in the left-hand leg of the undercarriage
unit 62 before securing it with a further washer 65 and an
M4 self-locking nut 63.
Caution: the straight edge of the undercarriage unit is
"forward"! Fig. 47 clearly shows the correct orientation of
the undercarriage. Repeat the procedure with the right-
hand wheel spat, and attach it to the right-hand leg of the
undercarriage unit in the same way.
Fig. 22
The next step is to glue the undercarriage fairing 22 to the
metal undercarriage unit with a drop of Zacki, but fi rst check
the correct position of the fairing by holding the undercar-
riage on the fuselage. The completed undercarriage unit
can now be fi xed to the fuselage using four M4 x 12 mm
socket-head screws. Figs. 23 + 24
