LACY 2 HF
DRS.- The trailing edge has been reinforced with small ribs that make this part flaZer in order to spread the
pressure out evenly. It means beZer air-flow and less drag on this important part of the glider. The addiBon
of these ribs gives excepBonal handling (beZer and more efficient when turning) and more control and
precision.
3LT.- Its powerful profile, a detailed internal architecture structure and the use of high-tech strength
materials make possible a significant reducBon of the total length of suspension lines in order to reduce the
parasite resistance and the weight of the glider to gain efficiency.
Not a single millimetre of error is possible in the manufacturing process from Olivier’s computer to the
cueng of the fabric. An automaBc process controlled by a laser-cueng program cuts each of the secBons
that compose the different parts of the wing. This program not only cuts the pieces of fabric but it also
paints the guideline marks that will aid the assembly; it also numbers the separate pieces of material. All
this is carried out before human handling of the pieces begins. So we eliminate possible and
understandable errors that may occur during this delicate procedure.
The lines are semi-automaBcally manufactured and all the sewing is finished under the supervision of our
specialists. The jigsaw puzzle of the assembly process is made easier using this method. We minimize the
processes while making the quality control more efficient. All the different parts of the canopy are cut and
assembled under the strict condiBons induced by the automaBon of the whole process.
It is strongly recommended that all lines are thoroughly checked by the pilot prior to every flight and
ulBmately checked by a service centre or WAY dealer ager every 100 hours of flight. We should not forget
that we are using materials with great performance but that they need a rigorous check before every flight.
All WAY Gliders go through an extremely thorough and efficient final inspecBon.
Every single line of each glider is measured individually once the final assembly has concluded. Each wing is
then individually inflated for the last visual revision.
Each glider is packaged following the maintenance and conservaBon instrucBons recommended for the
advanced materials. WAY Gliders are made of first class materials as demanded by the performance,
durability, and homologaBon requirements of the present-day market.
InformaBon about construcBon materials is given on the last pages of this manual.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
2.1
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLACE
We recommend that you unpack and assemble your wing on a schooling slope or a flat clear area without
too much wind and free of obstacles. These condiBons will allow you to carry out all the steps required for
you to check and inflate the LACY 2 HF.
We recommend that an instructor or a retailer supervises the enBre procedure as only they are competent
to resolve any doubt in a safe and professional way.
