Multiplex SKY-CAT Notice De Construction page 8

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:
This model is not made of styrofoam but polypropylene particle foam!
This material cannot be joined using white glue. Epoxy resins are reasonably effective provided that the foam surfaces
are well sanded beforehand. However, we recommend the use of hot-melt adhesive and a glue gun. Hot-melt glue
sticks and guns are available in many model shops, DIY shops and builder's merchants. The most suitable glue sticks
are the soft, flexible types. Please note when using hot-melt glue: be sure to trial-fit the parts "dry" (without glue).
Apply the adhesive sparingly, and join the parts immediately. Note that an excessive application of hot glue will
damage the foam, as the heat melts the material before the glue bonds.
