wing.
2. Undo the bag zipper and take out battens and the control bar.

4. Turn the wing on one side and spread the control frame down tubes. Install the control bar
according to the markings. Fix the control bar with bolts and nuts so, that fixing nuts are pointing
backwards, against the direction of flight (fig. 18).

with the strut safety wire. Tighten the nut and secure with a safety ring (fig. 22). ). Attach the strut
to the control frame bracket. The clevis pin head should be pointing forward (fig. 23). Do not attach
the strut safety wire to the base tube for now.
