Default Alpina Instructions

Hi to everyone.

Can any of you give me some help to find the instructions of the Alpina (a 4m span Multiplex glider)? or are there any web page, any other forum or something else ?

Thanks in advance.

What do you need ? The complete instruction booklet, or just some details ?
And which Alpina are we talking about ?
The 4001 ( ailerons, flaps, round steel wing joiner ), or the original Alpina ( no flaps, blade type steel wing joiner ) ?

I have the booklet for the 4001, not sure if I still have the booklet of the original Alpina lying around somewhere.

HI,
Contact Multiplex customer service and I am rather sure that they help you.
email [email protected]

Please note that there is several new things, among them a front wing support strut that need to be added. In case of a hard landing.

best regards Lars-Ã…ke

Jose, I am sorry, but I don't have the instructions fro the original Alpina anymore.
I have searched all through my shop, and nothing.

Multiplex are notorious for not answering e-mails.
I have read alot of complaints about that on the german RC discussion boards.

But it never hurts to try, maybe things changed, with them now being part of Hitec.

Jose,

I also have an older unbuilt Alpina and looking for instructions and drawings. Tail feathers are missing. Gave up on trying to contact Multiplex years ago. Let me know if you have any success in locating instructions and drawings and I will do the same if I have any luck.

Thx,
Randy

Default RE: Alpina Instructions

Hi all,

as this is my first post, I'd like to introduce myself before asking strange things:-) My name is Marcus and i'am a 34 year old rc-pilot from germany. Please take my apoligizes for my rusty english...i'll try to increase experience by posting a lot of questions and - hopefully - useful answers.

Please take also my apologizes for pickin' up this old thread. But actually, I'd like to receive exactly this information, you talked about in your discussion. I bought a pretty good looking 10 year old Alpina Magic (this is the first one without spoilers) with 440cm wingspan. Unfortunally, the owner did not had any information about c.g. and other important details.

The plane is in good condition, so i don't need the entire plan, but instructions for c.g. an other details (rudder, aileron, elevator mes.).

Thanks & regards
Marcus
