CHECKING THE LITESPORT STABILITY SYSTEM
Step One
Step Two
Step Three
Step Four
Option One
Hang the glider from three points to
simulate its flying position.
The three positions are;
1. the keel behind the rear wires,
2. the left side wing where the bottom
side wire exits the sail, and
3. the right side wing where the bottom
side wire exits the sail.
Option Two
An alternative to hanging the glider is to
raise the glider by using three support
structures, such as ladders.
With the VG system fully applied, tie a
piece of thin thread between the two
number nine batten ends, ensuring the
string it taut. The string should be
positioned under the keel.
Obtain the correct measurement for your
glider from the table below. Measure the
distance between the string and the
bottom of the keel.
a = Distance between bottom of keel and
string
b = Outer diameter of keel (42mm)
c = a + b (obtain the correct distance
from the table on the next page)
For example, the Litesport 4 is 95mm
below the top of the keel. Therefore;
c = 95
b = 42
a = 95 – 42 = 48
Release the VG tension and adjust the
dive struts until the correct measurement
is obtained.
