11. Set-up
Now the glider is placed on the control frame and the wings are spread.
The nose batten is inserted and the keel-pocket with attachment band
screwed to the marked hole in the keel. The sail is fastened right and left
beside the nose-plate to the wing-tube. After these steps the glider set-
up is completed according to the instructions in the owner’s manual to
the flight ready state.

Survey
The glider is placed on the control bar and the end of the keel on a
ladder. The VG is tensioned, because guyed heights are only checked in
VG-on position.
All with pitch-lines elevated sail-batten ends
are
step-by-step connected with a [fishing] line left to right [e.g. batten #5
left with batten #5 right etc.]. Then the distance between the line and
the top of the keel tube is measured and recorded. After this the outside
battens, which are elevated by swivel-tips, are likewise surveyed. The
individual measurements are recorded in the inspection protocol and
compared to the type specification page and if necessary corrected
[Tol/- 1cm = 5/8 inch.].
On swivel-tip supported sail-battens [topless or high-performance] the
respective swivel-tips are checked with a digital level or the supported
battens are measured with the line method as described above. The
length of the swivel-tips can be changed by screw action and allows
adjustment to the required heights [longer=higher].
All repairs and corrective work need to be recorded in a protocol. One
copy of the inspection protocol is send to the manufacturer Bautek. The
owner is obligated to report exceptional defects to the manufacturer.
The inspection is with a sticker on the glider, with date and
signature of the authorized inspector, documented. The date of the
next required inspection is also given. The copy of the inspection
protocol is put into the factory logbook.
