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,
referring to the Parts List, as we cannot exchange components which you have already modified. If you find any part is not
acceptable for any reason, we will readily correct or exchange it once we have examined the faulty component. Just send the
offending part to our Model Department. Please be sure to include the purchase receipt and the enclosed complaint form, duly
completed.
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 usual sense of the term. 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.
