Section 8 ASSEMBLY FROM SHIPPING LENGTH
If your Glider was delivered to you in the short pack form the following procedure should be used.
•
Unzip bag and remove ties. Remove all padding from the tube ends.
•
Assemble the control frame
.
Rotate the glider on to the control bar, lying flat on the ground.
•
Spread both leading edges approximately ½ metre. Remove the tip bags which have been used as
protection on the rear of the front leading edges.
•
Check rear leading edge bungs for
R
(right) and
L
(left). Insert rear leading edges in the appropriate
side of the front leading edge with the slot on the rear leading edge facing horizontally. Push on the
leading edge and rotate slightly to ensure it is located correctly. It should be impossible to rotate the
leading edge if correctly installed.
•
You are now ready to tension the sail. Prior to tensioning ensure the wash out rods are through the
sail hole. There are two webbing loops on the tip of the sail. The inside loop is for the sail tension and
the outward loop is used to apply tension to locate the primary sail tension loop. Place one hand on
the rear of the leading edge and the other through the tensioning loop. Pull sail firmly until the inside
loop is located on the end of the leading edge fitting. Ensure the webbing is centrally located. Secure
velcro tabs on the inside of the leading edge. Repeat for the other leading edge.
•
Your glider can now be fully assembled as outlined in the Set Up Procedure.
Breakdown For Shipping
Reverse the procedure above ensuring that all possible wear points are padded.
Be sure to remove the nose batten from the sail and place in batten bag. Be careful when folding the sail to
avoid damage.
When you have finished packing the glider, place the front of the glider bag over the rear of the short packed
glider. Zip up bag carefully and place the rest of the bag inside the package. The bag is installed back to
front because it is tapered and the glider is bulkier at the rear when short packed.
