Familiarize yourself with the construction kit!
MULTIPLEX model kits are subjected to constant material inspection
during production. We hope that you are satised with the contents of the
kit. We nevertheless ask that you check all parts (according to the parts
list) before use, as used parts cannot be exchanged. If a part is not OK,
we will be happy to x or replace it after verifying this. Please send the
part with sufcient postage to our Service department. Be sure to include
a short description of the fault along with the purchase receipt. We are
continuously working on further developing the technology of our models.
We reserve the right to make changes to the contents of the kit in terms
of shape, dimension, technology, material, and equipment at any time and
without warning. Please understand that no claims can be derived from
specications and illustrations in these instructions.
Caution!
Remote-controlled models, particularly airplane models, are not
toys in the conventional sense. Their construction and operation
requires technical understanding, a minimum level of artisan
skills, discipline, and safety-awareness. Errors and negligences
during building and operation may result in personal injury or
property damage. As the manufacturer has no influence on
proper assembly, maintenance, and operation, we explicitly refer
to these dangers.
Warning:
Like any airplane, the model has static limitations! Nosedives and reckless
maneuvers may result in damage to the model. Please note: In such
cases, there is no replacement. Approach the limitations with caution.
The model is tted with the propeller recommended by us but can only
withstand the loads if it is built awlessly and is undamaged.
Crooked – does not really exist. If individual parts are bent during
transit, they can be straightened again. Here, ELAPOR
®
behaves like
metal. If you overbend the material slightly, it springs back minimally and
retains its shape. The material of course has its limits – so don’t overdo it!
Crooked
–
does indeed exist! If you want to paint your model, you do
not need any primer for pretreatment when using the EC colors. Matt
paints result in the best look. Under no circumstances may the paint coats
be too thick or applied unevenly, otherwise the model will go out of shape
and will be crooked, heavy or even unusable!
This model is not made of Styrofoam™! Therefore, adhesions using
white glue, polyurethane or epoxy are not possible. These glues only stick
supercially and may peel off in severe cases. Only use cyanoacrylate/
superglue of medium viscosity, preferably Zacki2-ELAPOR
®
# 85 2727,
the superglue optimized and adapted for ELAPOR
®
particle foam. When
using Zacki2-ELAPOR
®
, you can largely do without kickers or activators.
If, however, you use other adhesives, and are unable to do without
kickers/activators, only spray outdoors for health reasons. Take care when
working with all cyanoacrylate adhesives. These adhesives sometimes
harden in seconds, so do not bring your ngers or other body parts
into contact with them. To protect your eyes, be sure to wear protective
goggles! Keep away from children! In some places, hot glue may also be
used. If applicable, this is indicated in the instructions!
Working with Zacki2 ELAPOR
®
Zacki2 ELAPOR
®
was developed specially for adhesion on our foam
models made of ELAPOR
®
. In order to design the adhesion as optimally
as possible, the following points should be taken into consideration:
• Avoid the use of activators. This causes the bonding to be signicant-
ly weakened. Especially for large-scale adhesion, we recommend
allowing 24 hours for the parts to dry.
• Activators must only be used for point xing. Only spray a little
activator on one side. Allow the activator to ash off for approx. 30
seconds.
• For optimal bonding, sand down the surface using sandpaper (grain
size 320).
The electronics must be protected from water. The controller and the
batteries must be sufciently cooled.
