Page 6: Assembling The Model
As the electric version is equipped with an engine, there is only little space in the fuselage cone. Therefore it makes sense to install the servos in the tail. By this means you can also save weight, as you need no or only little lead. www.pcm.at... -

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. www.pcm.at... -

So you can correct the mounting of the engine later by adding thin washers. As there is no space for the receiver in the fuselage cone, it is placed behind the wing joiner. Use the template enclosed to mark the opening in the right position and cut it. www.pcm.at... - Page 10 The tubes should be long enough … … to cover the sharp edge of carbon fibre at the holes ... … and to be still easily accessible inside the fuselage when threading the antenna. Secure the receiver in the fuselage with foam against dislodgement. www.pcm.at...

Page 15: Installation Of Antenna
Erwin XL building Instruction October 2012 9. Installation of antenna As Erwin XL slope is completely made of carbon, a part of the antenna must be situated outside the model. One possiblity is to „extend“ the fuselage at the rear end with a steel wire of about 450mm. -

Erwin XL ultralight has just one connector. If the glider accelerates too slowly, don’t hesitate to add further weight. Erwin XL slope can do well with more weight, in the air as well as when landing. 2x carbon short, 150g... -

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. www.pcm.at...
