LITESPEED RX
OWNERS MANUAL

Version 2
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN TENSIONING THE
GLIDER.
If excess force is encountered check:
ü
The side wires are not twisted or kinked
ü
The cross bar retainer wire is not caught on the nose plate assembly
ü
The floating cross bar centring wire is not caught on a cross bar
assembly junction
ü
The pull back wire or VG pulleys are not caught in the hang loop assembly
7.
To tension the crossbar, pull the cord coming out of the keel aft of the sail.
Check that the cable and rope are not twisted and that the spring lock is firmly
locked. In strong winds the glider can be particularly difficult to tension. Have a
helper gently raise and pull one wing, this reduces the pressure on the centre
section and allows it to slide more freely.

Tension the glider.
8.
The Litespeed RX is equipped with a removable keel aft section. The glider can be
left resting on it, facilitating the fitment of the washout struts, and battens. If desired,
the glider may now be raised onto its keel to complete the assembly. This also
assists with keeping the sail clean by keeping the tips off the ground.
Picture 12
Raising the glider onto the keel can make assembly
easier and keeps the sail clean.
WARNING
!
The glider may fall to one side if pushed or blown by the wind - this may result in
wing tip damage. It is recommended that you only use on flat level ground and
in nil wind. Use with care!
