BEFORE THE FIRST FLIGHT
10. Ballast system
Erwin XL ultralight Electro
has just
one connector. The kit includes 1x carbon pipe with 20g.
If you want to
add ballast,
you can easily change the
weight
by
varying
between the
different
connectors
.
If desired, 1x
carbon pipe with a steel core with 220g
and 1x
steel bar with 460g
can be added
to the kit.
11. Fixing of the wing
When attaching the wings, make sure that the connector
will not be postponed again.
First, push the
connector into the first wing half
as far
as possible
. Note, that the
shorter part
of the connector
should disappear
inside the wing
. Then, push the
fuselage onto the connector
and finally the
2nd wing
half
.
Close the gap between wings and fuselage with
adhesive
tape
. By this way, the wing halves are fixed to the
fuselage.
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
:
Leave the antenna inside the radio control and go away from the glider up to a distance of
about 60m. The rudders should not tremble.
2,4 Ghz: depending on radio controller (f.e. reduce transmission power)
