11. Fixing of the wing 

 

When attaching the wings, put the 

longer end

 of the 

connector

 into the middle

 

wing

 part.  

 
Close the gap between the wing parts with 

adhesive tape

By this way, the wing parts are fixed to each other. 

12. Check list before starting: 

 

1. Check 

centre of gravity

 (the angle of attack is pre-set) 

2. Check 

rudders

:  

Do rudders move in the correct direction? 
Check the greatest swings of the rudders 
All control surfaces are continuously connected to 
the wing along the hinge line. 

3. 

Check 

reception 

2,4 Ghz: depending on radio controller (f.e. reduce 
transmission power)  

 

13. Attention, ErwinXL is sensitive to heat! 

 
Pay attention, that 

Elvira does not heat up

! That means,  

don’t let the model lie in the car, when the sun is 
heating up the car. 

don’t let the model lie in the sun too long. Protect wing 
and elevator with bags, if you don’t fly.  

Avoid all other possibilities to heat up Elvira. 

The model is heated up to 50° during production, but in the 
sun the model can easily reach higher temperatures. During 
flight the model is sufficiently cooled by the airstream.  
This sensitiveness is high shortly after production / 
purchase and will get less gradually.
