    COMBAT 09 13.7, COMBAT 09 13.2 WITH THE TAIL 

 
Your Combat 09 13.7 (Combat 09 13.2) features the tail installed on the glider, therefore 
pitch stability of your glider significantly increased. To achieve best flight characteristics 
of your glider with a tail Aeros has made necessary adjustments: 

1.  The shorter side wires are installed (length is 2615 mm), (the standard side wires 

enclosed into the glider bag). 

2. All sprogs are set 1 degree lower. 
3.  The plastic caps of both leading edge tubes # 3 are rotated one hole down. 
 

ATTENTION!

 IT IS PROHIBITED TO FLY THE GLIDER IN SUCH CONFIGURATION 

WITHOUT THE TAIL. THE GLIDER WITH LESS ANHEDRAL AND SMALLER 
WASHOUT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO FLY. 

 

Before flying the Combat 09 13.7 (Combat 09 13.2) without the tail it is necessary to 
adjust it back to its standard tailless configuration: 

1.  The standard 2625 mm side wires have to be installed. 
2.  The sprogs have to be set 1 degree higher. 
3.  The plastic caps of both leading edge tubes #3 have to be rotated one hole up.
