behind the uprights with your body pushing against the downtubes
and holding them up. Fully insert
the pip pins and cover with the rubber tubes.
3. Stand the ATOS VR up on the control frame.
Important with uneven area:
The wing must stand
stably on the control frame. If it should tilt against the top of the upright connection, the D-cell can be
damaged or the sail compressed. It's easiest to lift the D-cells straight up with one hand while rotating the
control frame underneath with the other.
4. Remove all the parts from the D-Cell including the rib cam tool and the pull out the barrel ends of the
spoiler wires. Stuff half the glider bag in the left and the rest in the right D-Cell.
5. Prior to opening the wings, be sure that the two halves of the nose connection are opened wide out. If
not, they could be compressed into the D-Cells or other parts by the nut-cracker action of opening the
wings.
6. Lift the end of each wing SLIGHTLY and swing the wings open, keeping them in the normal plane, until
the stinger touches the ground. Depress the pins at the keel/stinger junction and remove and swing the
stinger to the side allowing the keel to rest on the ground when the wings are full opened (put something
under the keel so that it doesn't pick up dirt where the stinger inserts in the keel)
