Erwin building instruction November 2006
11. Fixing of the wing
Use 3 layers of tape to fix the wing to the fuselage. Don’t use
low price products. (The tape should not rustle.) We take
tapes made by “Tesa”.
In case of a crash, the tape will break, the connecting plug
between fuse and wing will loosen, and further damage will
be avoided. Normally, you can continue flying without
problems.
For extreme use, for example Dynamic Soaring, add further 3
layers of tape.
Note the correct installation of the plug between fuselage and
wing. (see point 8.)
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
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
13. Notes for the use
To avoid heating of the carbon surface, Erwin (without paint
on the upper side) should
not
lie
in the sun
.
During flight heating by the sun is no problem, as Erwin is
cooled by the wind. On ground Erwin should be kept
inside
protective bags
or
in the shade
.
