that the tips are held correctly inside it.
•
Check that the sail tension on the left wingtip is equal to that of the right wingtip. If there is a
difference, fix the sail at a different hole so that tension is properly balanced.
•
Check that the eccentric Nylon caps, holding the above-mentioned tubes, are symmetrical.
•
Check that the leading edge and all other tubes are undamaged.
If the glider still has a turn tendency
•
Turn the nylon cap not more than 5 mm at a time (measured on circumference of the tube holding
the Nylon cup), so that the end of fibreglass tip lowers. Make sure you lower the tip same to the
turn direction. i.e. if the glider has a right turn tendency, lower the right tip.
This adjustment should be made as follows:
•
Mark the position of the cam with respect to the tube by using a felt-tip pen to make a small mark
on the tube.
•
Using a crosshead screwdriver, unscrew the screw on the top of the head by about 3 or 4 rotations,
so that the cam can rotate freely.
Do not unscrew the screw completely, because otherwise the internal section will slip out, and
you will have to remove the sail fastening pin to recover it.
•
Then knock the head of the screw gently with a hammer, as if it were a nail, in order to overcome
the friction created by the internal section.
•
Remove the smaller screw at the side of the tube.
•
Using a pair of needle-nose pliers pushed into the two holes in the head of the cam, rotate the cam
to the degree desired. In the example described above, the cam will have to be rotated 5 mm
clockwise.
