Wrap your receiver and battery (if
using a separate battery for the
receiver) in dense foam packing
and install in the fuselage under the
tank. The battery’s final position will be
determined once the model has had its
balance point checked.
To ensure that the trailing edge
of the wing is not crushed by
the wing mounting bands, two
plywood reinforcement plates are
used on the top surface. Holding
the first plate in position on the
wing with its rear aligned to the
trailing edge, mark its shape on
the surface of the wing using a
water-soluble/non-permanent felt
pen. Trim away the covering inside
the marked line and glue the plate
in position. Repeat for the second
plate.
COMPLETING THE TUTOTR 40 II
Your radio switch (or
if you are using an
ESC with a switch) can now be mounted. The
radio tray has a pre-cut slot should you wish to
mount the switch internally and operate it with a
bent wire through the fuselage. The simplest way
of fitting the switch is simply mounting it through
the left-hand fuselage side (on the opposite
side to the exhaust). Using the switch plate as
a guide, mark and drill the mounting holes. Now
cut a suitable slot for the switch. Mount using
the screws supplied with the switch.

Locate the pre-drilled holes
for the wing mounting dowels.
Using a sharp knife, trim the
covering away so the dowels can
be pushed through the fuselage
sides. Ensuring they are centrally
located in the fuselage, run some
medium super glue around each
to secure.

Before starting the final set-up of
the Tutor 40 II, switch on the radio
and ensure that all trims are in
their neutral positions. Check that
the ailerons, elevator and rudder
are centred. If any adjustments
are needed, do this by unclipping
the appropriate clevis and turning
it clockwise to shorten the linkage
or anti-clockwise to lengthen it.
Only when each control surface
has been centred mechanically
should you begin adjusting the
surface movements (or control
throws).
