WP E-TRAINER 140 Graupner 9553 The GRAUPNER E-Trainer 140 is an elegant, ultra-light electric-powered trainer model aircraft. The design was drawn up with particular emphasis on low all-up weight, and this is reflected in the models performance and handling characteristics; the E-Trainer 140s docile flying qualities mean that it is the ideal model for making the transition fromrudder / elevator aeroplanes to full-house control; the aeroplane is also capable of simple aerobatics. The generous wing area and carefully selected airfoil give the model very good-natured and neutral flying characteristics. For easy taxi-ing on the ground to the take-off position a steerable nosewheel is fitted, coupled to the rudder. The model is built primarily from balsa wood, with plywood reinforcementsglued in place at particularly highly stressed areas. The two-part wings can be dismantled; they can even be carried in saddlebags on a bicycle. The tailplane is attached by screws, so it can also be removed for transport. The fuselage, wing panels, tailplane and fin are ready-made and covered in multi-colour iron-on film. To complete the model little work is required; it just involves gluing the finto the fuselage, attaching the tailplane, installing the motor mount and motor, fitting the undercarriage, and installing the receiving system and its linkages. A four-channel RC system is all that is required to fly the model.
