Sport 2 Breakdown
Breakdown of the glider is essentially the reverse of assembly.
1. Unzip the sprog access zippers all the way to the leading edge end of the zippers. This should be
your first step when you break down. If the sprog zippers are not unzipped fully when you remove
the battens, the sail may catch on the end of the sprog and damage the sail or the zipper. After
unzipping the zipper, detach the bungee loop from around the rear tip of the sprog.
2. Set the VG to the full loose position and pull the rope entirely through the cleat to the outside of
the cleat. This will facilitate the later removal of the basetube and help prevent inadvertent
damage to the VG rope as you fold the wings in.
3. Remove the nosecone and put aside. Remove any instruments. Detach the bottom front wires at
the noseplate. You will need to push up on the button lock to allow the tang to disengage from the
collar.
4. Remove all but the three longest cambered battens from each wing. On the lever tip battens,
remember to apply slight downward pressure on the top of the lever while squeezing the bottom
portion so as to release the locking catch before pivoting the lever tip upwards.
5. Open the tip wand cam lever velcro closure, and pull on the string attached to the end of the lever
to "un-cam" the lever and straighten the tip wand. Install the tip bag over the wand and tip of the
sail at this time.
6. Disengage the top rear wire, and de-tension the crossbar sweep wire and let the wings fold in
slightly. (To release the tangs, depress the rear button on the button lock system, which will also
depress the front button and allow you to disengage the tangs from the keyhole collar.) Reinstall
the neoprene protective socks over the rear wire junction bolt and the rear end of the keel.
Remove the remaining top surface battens and the bottom surface battens at this time.
7. Swing each wing in about 1/3 of the way. At each wingtip, remove the tip cover bag. Holding the
tip wand in one hand, pull straight aft on the cam lever and disengage the cup from the end of the
wand. Remove the tip wand by pulling straight aft from the end of the leading edge. Rotate the
lever inside the sail.
