KEY
ACTION
A. Check for proper assembly, twisted thimbles. Crossbar setup cable not fouled on
kingpost bolts. All ribs secured, check for proper position of trailing edge lines.
B. Match all ribs to the airfoil maintenance blueprint provided with your HORIZON ET.
C. Move hang strap back ( 1/2 " at a time).
D. Move hang strap forward ( 1/2 " at a time).
E. Increase camber on last 2 cambered left tip ribs by 1/4", or decrease the same on
right tip by 1/4".
F. Increase camber on last 2 cambered right tip ribs by 1/4", or decrease the same on
left by 1/4".
G. Decrease camber on last 2 cambered tip ribs on both sides, 1/4" at a time.
H. Increase camber on last 2 cambered tip ribs on both sides, 1/4" at a time.
I. Check leading edges for straightness, and replace if bent.
J. Increase the tension of the right leading edge pocket, or loosen the tension of the
left leading edge pocket*
K. Increase the tension of the left leading edge pocket, or loosen the tension of the
right leading edge pocket.*
L. Loosen leading edge pocket on both sides.*
M. Tighten leading edge pocket on both sides.* (note: If you are using this step to
remove sail wrinkles, be aware that excessive leading edge pocket tension will cause
excessive leading edge deflection, releasing enough trailing edge tension to cause wrinkles).
N. Loosen rib tension on both sides symmetrically, starting at the tips.
O. Tighten rib tension on both sides symmetrically, starting at the tips.
P. Check for over-tension in the left side ribs #1-4.
Q. Check for over tension in the right side ribs #1-4.
R. Loosen tension on ribs #2-4, both sides, to remove excess reflex from these ribs.
S. Adjust rib tension in the locality of each problem area.
