Erwin 5

The Erwin 5 is a light-weight, all carbon 2-meter all-arounder slope ship. The carbon construction makes it strong, the 7% HQW airfoil makes it fast! The HQW section takes flap really well and allows the Erwin to make the most of light lift.

The Erwin can be built with either 2 wing servos or, if you need to land in really tight spots, add 2 flap servos for excellent control. Make sure you mix the flaps to the ailerons 100% though, the roll rate with thes setup is fantastic for a plane of this size. Even better is the screech owl scream the Erwin makes when you are rippin' and rollin'!

NOTE: 12/14/2004 - A new batch of Erwin 5s are on the way. Here soon!

Wingspan[mm]: 2000
Weight : 32 to 40 ounces without ballast. 20 plus ounces of ballast possible.
Airfoil: HQW/1,5/7 mod.
Aspect ratio: 13,54 to 1
Uses: Slope - Aerobatics/ Slope - Allround

Fuselage:

• CFR/GFR,with CFR rovings

Wing:

• 2-piece wing for an easy to handle package in the car or backpack.
• CFR/GFR shell construction without support material. That's why the surface is more resistant against damage.
• no varnish/paint - that's why the plane is lighter and damage can be repaired more easily.
• spar with CFR/GFR-hose
• Elliptical lift distribution
• crescent-shaped wing-tip
• HQW/1,5/7 mod. - very good for use with plain flaps

V-tail:

• CFR shell construction without support material
• spar with CFR/GFR-hose

Prefabrication:

Cut ailerons, plain flaps and elevator. pre-cut servo-boxes in the wing. Aluminium tubes, aileron-connection, ball-joints for the elevator. Buliding instruction are included
