Introduction
This section provides checklist and amplification procedures for the conduct of
normal operation. Normal procedures associated with optional systems can be
found in section 9.
4.2
Rigging and derigging, filling the watertanks
4.2.1
Rigging
1.
Open the rear canopy.
2.
Clean and lube the pins, bushings and the control connections.
3.
Rigging the inboard wing panels
All controls hook up automatically. Therefore set the airbrake handle to the
forward stop.
Ailerons should be held neutral for rigging, airbrakes must be locked.
Screw one of the rear wing securing pins on the tool W 38/2.
Close both canopies. Push the right wing panel into place. Insert the rear
securing pin with the tool at the rear attachment fitting. Push in the tool so
far that the upper surface of the brass part of the tool is flush with the wing
surface. Screw off the tool. Check if the locking device for the securing pin
has engaged.
Note:
If the wing refuses to slip close to the fuselage, you may try to insert
the rigging pin W58 instead of the locking pin and try to move the wing
towards the fuselage with help of the conical shape of this pin.
Screw the other securing pin onto the tool.
Open the rear canopy. Push in the left wing. Mount and check the left
securing pin by the same method as the right side.
Push the two main pins in as far as possible.
Turn the handles up to the fuselage wall, while pulling out the white
securing knob, then release the knob back to its locked position.

Rigging of the stabilizer
Install the battery Z110 or a ballast weight of 5.5kg (12.1 lbs.) in the battery
box in the fin, connect the battery.
Warning:
Rigging of the horizontal tailplane is only permitted with full nose
down trim-setting!
Screw the tool W 38/2 into the securing plate (near the top of the left surface
of the fin). Pull out the securing plate with the tool, move it downwards to
engage in the rigging position. Set the stabilizer on, so that the roller at the
fuselage side push rod is inserted into the funnel at the elevator.
Watch carefully the procedure!
When the stabilizer is set down and laying
on the fin, push it aft. The roller will engage
and slide forward in the funnel if you hold
the elevator in the pertinent position.
Release the securing device by pulling out
with the tool and engage the securing device
by lifting the tool. The securing plate must be
flush with the surface of the fin. Screw out the tool.
Check for correct elevator connection by looking from the rear into the
gap at the right hand side of the rudder.
5.
Rigging of the outboard wing panels (20m wing extensions or 18 m wing
tips): Insert the wing tip extensions into the wing. Press in the locking pin
with your finger.
Insert the wing tip as far as the aileron connector starts to slide onto the
aileron.
Strike firmly with the palm of your hand on to the wing tip to lock in the
wing tip extension.
6.
Tape the gaps of the wing-fuselage junction and at the wing joint.
7.
Execute a positive control check, one helper to hold firmly the control
surfaces is needed.
