Erwin XL building Instruction

6. Fuselage
Check the alignment of the V-tail regarding the axis of the
fuselage, so that it is fixed symmetrically.
To do this, mount v-tail and wing on the fuselage. Look at
Erwin XL from the front and slowly lower the tail, until the
ends of the elevator disappear behind the wing.
If both ends of the elevator disappear at the same time, the
v-tail is aligned correctly.
If the v-tail isn’t aligned correctly, chamfer the edges of the
fitting. Put the two parts of the fuselage together again and
turn one part until the v-tail is mounted symmetrically.
Then glue the parts together. Use epoxy-glue and some
cotton flocks to thicken the glue.
