Under the wing at the control frame apex:
Open the undersurface zipper. Check the crossbar center plate’s assembly including the sweep wires/X-
bar junction and the center bolt (fig.28).
Check the sweep wires for wear.
Also, visually inspect the cross tubes by sighting along the length of the cross tubes looking for any
evidence of damage.
Check that the kingpost is properly installed.
Check the control frame apex (fig. 29) and the hang block bracket hardware (fig. 30).
Close the undersurface zipper.
6. LAYING THE WING DOWN FLAT
Once you have the wing set up, it can be laid down flat on the ground. This can be useful if you have to
secure the wing in case of the wind speeds suddenly increase and there is no time to brake down the
wing fast and safely.
Remove the nose cone from the nose of he wing.
Release the bottom front wires from the nose hook.
Lay the wing down with nose pointing into the wind.
Reverse the procedure to set the wing upright again.
