doing so, working through the sprog access zippers, preflight the following items:
- internal ribs to confirm that they are fully zipped up;
- the sprog hardware, and the sprog cable attachments at both ends of each sprog cable;
- the sprog is not twisted 180º;
- the side wire is properly secured;
- the leading edge / cross bar junction unit is properly secured and has no damage.
To deploy and secure each sprog, swing the sprog away from the leading edge and align it in the center of the rear
end of the sprog access zipper.
Fully close the sprog access zipper and this will secure the sprog in the proper position underneath the transverse
batten and capture it in position
(Fig. 13, 14).
