Along the trailing edge, left wing:
Check that there are no tears in the sail material along the trailing edge.
Check that all battens are properly secured.
Check that the inboard and outboard sprogs are properly secured in their position supporting
the appropriate transverse battens.
Make sure all zippers are closed.
From the rear keel:
Check that the keel mount webbing and bottom rear wires are safely secured to the keel tube
(fig. 57 and fig. 58).
Check the rear wires cables making sure there are no kinks or twisted thimbles (fig. 57).
Check that the sweep wires are tight and secured on the hook on the keel tube (Fig. 58).
An in-flight disengagement of this attachment will cause a complete loss of structural
support of the glider and a total loss of control. Never attach the pull handle of the
shackle to the hook, even temporarily!
