[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. Please check that your private third-party insurance policy covers the flying of model aircraft of this type. If you

are not sure, expand your insurance cover, or ask for help from your national body. In the U.K. this is:

Specification

Important note

For all joints involving the styrofoam components it is essential that you avoid the use of solvent-based adhesives, and instant

or cyano-acrylate glue (cyano, or CA) in particular. These materials will melt and destroy a large volume of foam, and the

component will be completely ruined.

Use solvent-free adhesives, such as 5-minute epoxy or white glue.

Using 5-minute epoxy

This adhesive should only be used at normal room temperature. The maximum working time ("pot life") of the mixed resin is about 5

minutes, so you should only mix up the quantity required for the job in hand. Take great care to mix equal quantities of the two

components, and mix the epoxy quickly and thoroughly. Apply the glue to one side of the joint only, and don't use excessive amounts.

Press the parts together immediately and tape or clamp the joint for at least 10 minutes. Freshly mixed epoxy can be wiped off the

model readily using methylated spirits on a rag. Do not use any other type of solvent, as the solvent itself may attack and destroy the

foam and ABS parts of your model. Be sure to read and observe the safety notes provided by the adhesive manufacturer.

Using white glue

White glue should be used at normal room temperature. The maximum working time of the glue is about 5 minutes. Apply a thin layer

of the glue to one side of the joint only. Press the parts together immediately and tape or clamp the joint for at least 15 - 30 minutes.

Excess glue can easily be wiped off using water. Don't use solvent for this, as the foam and vacuum-moulded parts of the kit might be

damaged. White glue is only suitable for gluing wooden parts and styrofoam parts. Be sure to read and observe the safety notes

provided by the adhesive manufacturer.
