11. Fixing of the wing
For flights on the slope we recommend fixing the wing by
tape.
In case of a crash, the tape will break, the connecting plug
between fuse and wing will loosen, and further damage will
be avoided. Normally, you can continue flying without
problems.
Use 6 layers of tape to fix the wing to the fuselage. Don’t
use low price products. (The tape should not rustle.) We
take tapes made by “Tesa”.
Note the correct installation of the plug between fuselage
and wing. (see point 8.)
If you fly in the plain and want to make winch starts, fix the
wing to the fuselage with the screws enclosed.
12. Check list before starting:
1. Check centre of gravity (the angle of attack is pre-set)
2. Check rudders:
Do rudders move in the correct direction?
Check the greatest swings of the rudders
3. Check
reception:
Leave the antenna inside the radio control and go
away from the glider up to a distance of about 60m.
The rudders should not tremble.
