EasyGlider Electric KIT # 21 4207
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 satisfied with the contents of your kit. However, we would ask you to check all the parts before you start
construction, 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. Just send the component to our Model Department. Please be sure to include
the purchase receipt and 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. 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.
Additional items required for the EasyGlider / EasyGlider Electric:
Adhesives: cyano-acrylate (“cyano”) and activator
Use medium-viscosity cyano glue (
not styrofoam cyano) in conjunction with activator (“cyano kicker”). Epoxy adhesives produce
what initially appears to be a sound joint, but the bond is only superficial, and the hard resin breaks away from the parts under
load.
Hot-melt glue (from a glue gun) can be used as an alternative.
