2. Rest the keel tube on a support and using the angle meter as shown on the figure 39, set the 
angle meter to zero. Maintain this keel tube angle during further measurements.

3. Place the worktop of the angle meter under the middle part of the inner sprog close enough 
to the sprog wire attachment point so that the entire worktop surface of the angle meter touches 
the sprog (Fig. 40). 

The scale of the angle meter will show the sprog angle. 

The inner sprogs for Still TL should be set to 11 deg.

To adjust the main sprog angle: 
 
1.  Remove  the  pin  from  the  sprog  threaded 
adjuster at the front of the sprog. To raise the 
sprog angle turn the end of the sprog threaded 
adjuster counter clockwise. To lower the sprog 
angle  turn  the  end  of  the  sprog  threaded 
adjuster clockwise (Fig. 41). 

 

2. Re-install the pin to the sprog threaded 
adjuster and press down firmly on the rear end 
of the sprog to seat the cable before checking 
the measurement again. 

 
 
 
  

11. REMOVING THE SAIL FROM THE AIRFRAME AND RE-INSTALLING 

 
Many  maintenance  and  repair  procedures  will  require  the  removal  of  the  sail  from  the  frame. 
Please  follow  these  instructions  when  removing  and  reinstalling  the  sail.  Please  read  all  the 
instructions for each operation before beginning. 
 

SAIL REMOVAL 

 
You will need an unobstructed area 2 m by 9 m (6x30 ft). Make sure the surface is clean. If it is 
abrasive,  you  should  either  cover  it  with  protective  tarp  or  be  extremely  careful  not  to  scrape 
your sail. 
Since Still TL is a single surface wing the sail removal is rather easy to perform. 
 
1.  Unzip  and  remove  the  wing  bag  and  put  struts,  battens  and the control  bar  aside.  Remove 
Velcro straps and all protection bags from the wing.
