9. Make sure that the #2 internal rib is unzipped. Slide the sail forward of the washout tube and un-
tape the washout tube from the leading edge. Slide the sail back, feeding the end of the washout
tube between the open halves of the fabric rib zipper.
10. Mount the webbing anchor loops over the rear leading edge endcaps. Check that the internal rib
zipper for the #2 fabric rib is not caught on the #1 batten stud.
Make sure you mount the inner
webbing loops in the endcap slots, not the outer handle loops!
Make sure that the webbing
lies flat and smooth in the slot, and that the sail is properly aligned when mounted. (Proper sail
alignment is sometimes difficult to check at this time - recheck this when you do your fully as-
sembled preflight of the glider). Secure the velcro retainer tabs.
11. Working through the camera mount zippers, insert the bottom side wires through the holes in the
sail and attach to the crossbar, making sure that no cable is wrapped around a leading edge or
crossbar, and that no thimbles are cocked or twisted. The VG activation cable passes between the
leading edge and the side wire.
12. Bolt the bottom rear wires and sail retainer webbing strap to the rear of the keel.
13. Flip the glider up onto the control bar.
14. Spread the wings slowly and carefully, making sure that the sail rides forward as necessary at the
nose without catching.
Be careful: you can easily tear the sail open at the nose at this point.
15. Feed the sweep wire through the keel pocket.
16. Finish the assembly of the glider completely according to normal assembly procedures.
17. Do a very careful and complete preflight of the glider according to the normal preflight procedure
as explained earlier in this manual.
Replacing the Perlon hang loop
Some Fusions are equipped with a 7mm Perlon main
suspension system that is double looped through the
elevated hang 'T'. If you need to replace or adjust the
loop, refer to the diagram for tying the knot.
Please note that it is essential that the back-up
hang loop is the proper length.
During a hang check, with the pilot pushed out (full aft
CG), the backup loop should have a minimum of 2
inches and not more than 3 inches of slack.
