TENSION CROSS BARS. The crossbars are now tensioned by
pulling the webbing loop until the shackle is positioned on the Quick
Clip. Ensure that the catch is positively locked. When tensioning
the glider lying flat the keel can be raised slightly allowing the side
flying wires to become looser.
•
ATTACH REAR TOP WIRE. The rear top wire should now be
attached to the rear Quick Clip block.
•
INSERT TIP STRUTS. Insert the tip battens and locate tip struts on
to leading edge fitting.
•
ATTACH FRONT FLYING WIRES. The ring
on the front flying wires can now be inserted
in to the Quick Clip Block. Ensure that the
catch is positively locked. If the glider has
been assembled flat it should now be lifted on
to the control frame. Be aware of the tip
battens! Make sure you have a firm grip on
the keel when raising the nose from the flat
position in strong winds.
•
INSERT NOSE BATTEN. Insert the nose batten tail end first and locate it on the fitting on the front of
the keel. A visual check of the nose junction is advisable at this point.
•
PREFLIGHT INSPECTION. You are now ready for the wing pre-flight inspection as outlined in the
