TwinStar-BL KIT # 21 4279
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 satised with the contents of your kit. However, we would ask you to check all the parts (referring
to the Parts List) before you start construction, as we cannot exchange components which you have already modied. If
you nd a part is not acceptable for any reason, we will gladly correct the defect or replace the item in question once we
have inspected it. Please send the component to our Service Department, with adequate postage pre-paid, being sure to
include the completed complaints form. We are constantly working on improvements to 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
ttings, without prior notication. 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 usual sense of the
term. Building and operating them safely requires a certain level of technical competence and manual skill, to-
gether with discipline and a responsible attitude at the ying eld.
Errors and carelessness in building and ying 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.
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 ap-
proach the airframe’s limits gradually. It is designed for the power system recommended in these instructions, but is only
capable of withstanding the ight loads if built exactly as described and if it is in an undamaged state.

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 supercial joints, and simply break away under stress. Please be sure to use
medium-viscosity cyano-acrylate glue exclusively, preferably Zacki ELAPOR® # 59 2727, which is optimised specically
for ELAPOR® particle foam. If you se Zacki ELAPOR® there is usually no need for cyano ‘kicker’ or activator. However,
if you wish to use a different adhesive which requires the use of activator, please note that these materials are injurious
to health, and should always be applied in the open air. Take care when handling all cyano-acrylate adhesives, as they
harden in seconds, so don’t get them on your ngers 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! For certain joints it is also possible to use
hot-melt adhesive; the instructions indicate where this is the case.
