ALONG THE TRAILING EDGE, RIGHT WING:
Same as for left wing.
AT THE RIGHT TIP:
Same as for left tip.
ALONG THE RIGHT LEADING EDGE:
Same as for left leading edge.
UNDER THE GLIDER, AT THE CONTROL BAR:
Sight down the downtubes, making sure that they are straight.
Check the cables at the control bar corners, making sure there are no kinks or twisted thimbles.
Check for proper installation of all nuts and safety rings at the control bar corners.
Check the routing of the VG rope around the base bracket pulley, and around the control bar top
pulley, and check the VG operation.
Pull back the neoprene protectors and check the control bar apex bracket hardware, including
the clevis pin safeties, the control bar top plug bolts and nuts, and the elbow to apex slider bolt
and nut.
Check the main and backup hang loops:
a) Check all three oval quick links to insure that the screw gate is fully closed. Check to be sure
the quick links are properly aligned so that the pull is along the long axis, and that the clear
plastic sleeves are in place over the links to maintain their alignment.
b) Check that the backup is
properly positioned
circumferentially around the
main, and that the backup is
secured to the main by the
matching velcro surfaces. This
will insure that the quick link on
the backup is not positioned at
the bottom of the loop.
c) Check that the longitudinal
CG adjustment strap is secure
- that both front and rear tangs
are securely bolted down to the
keel.
d) Check that the VG rope
passes outside the hang loops.
