Receiver
Cut the Velcro tape to length and glue one piece to the underside of the receiver, the
mating piece to the fuselage floor. Run the aerial wire through the fuselage to the tail end,
and slip it through a spare hole in the elevator horn, taking care to leave the wire slack.
Connect the servos to the receiver (1 = speed controller, 2 = aileron extension lead, Order
No. 3935.11, 3 = elevator, 4 = rudder).
Assembling the E-TRAINER 140
Fix the tailplane to the tail end of the fuselage using the M4 x 20 plastic screws supplied,
connect the clevis to the elevator horn and fit the silicone retainer ring. Fit both wing
panels on the aluminium joiner tube, connect the aileron clevis and fit the silicone retainer
ring. Connect the aileron servo to the extension lead, then fit the wing locating tongue into
the slot in the former, and fix the wing to the fuselage using the M4 x 30 plastic screws
supplied. Tighten the screws just to the point where the wings are held securely to the
fuselage - don’t overtighten them.
Balancing the E-TRAINER 140
Assemble the model completely, ready to fly (including flight battery), and support it on
both sides of the fuselage at a point about 75 mm aft of the wing root leading edge. The
model should now balance level, with the nose slightly down. Add lead ballast to the tail or
nose if necessary. The model is now ready to fly, but not before you have checked that all
control surfaces are exactly at centre (neutral) when the transmitter controls and trims are
also at centre.

Important:
When fitting and adjusting the various linkages you should ensure that they move freely,
without binding, are able to move to their full extent - including trim travel - and are not
obstructed mechanically at any point.
When you move the rudder stick to the right, the rudder should also deflect to the right (left
stick: left rudder). Pull the elevator stick back towards you, and the elevator must deflect
up (stick forward: elevator down). If you move the aileron stick to the right, the right aileron
should rise, the left aileron fall. When you move the throttle stick forward, the motor should
run at full power.
