Important: before you start construction
Even if you have already built many RC model aircraft, please read right through these
instructions very carefully, and check that all the parts of the kit are present. We have
taken great trouble to keep the building effort required to an absolute minimum, without
allowing any compromises in the area of safety.
This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time. However, the work
which you have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The model will only
be strong and fly well if you complete your tasks competently. Please work slowly and
accurately!
Note regarding the film covering
Minor creases or bubbles may develop in the film covering due to major fluctuations in
weather conditions (temperature, humidity etc.); in rare cases you may even find a slight
warp in a component. These minor faults are in the nature of film-covered built-up wooden
structures, and can easily be corrected using a heat gun, as commonly used for modelling.
Creases:
Blow warm air over the area and rub down with a soft cloth.
Wing warp:
Hold the panel twisted gently in the opposite direction to the warp, and
apply warm air to remove the creases from the covering.
Caution! do not heat the film more than is absolutely necessary. If the air or the iron
is too hot, the film may melt and holes may be formed.
When self-tapping screws have to be screwed into wood, apply a little white glue to
prevent them shaking loose: just squirt white glue into the hole and fit the screw.
Operating the E-TRAINER 140
Before you attempt to operate the model it is essential to read right through the
assembly and operating instructions very carefully. You alone are responsible for
the safe operation of your radio-controlled model. Young persons under fourteen
years of age should only be permitted to operate this model under the instruction
and supervision of an adult who is aware of the hazards involved in this activity.
Please keep these operating instructions in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the
model, be sure to pass them on to the new owner. If you have any questions
regarding the safe operation of your RC model aeroplane, please turn to your local
model shop in the first instance, where the staff will be pleased to help you.
Radio-controlled model aircraft are very demanding and potentially dangerous
objects. As such they require a high level of technical knowledge and skill, together
with a responsible approach.
In legal terms our models are classed as aircraft, and as such are subject to legal
regulations
and
restrictions
which
must
be
observed.
Our
brochure
“Modellflugrecht, Paragrafen und mehr” (Model Aviation Law, Legal Requirements
and more) is available under Order No. 8034.01, and contains a summary of all these
rules. Your local model shop should have a copy which you can read. There are also
Post Office regulations concerning your radio control system, and these must be
observed at all times. Refer to your RC system instructions for more details.
