9. Bolt the bottom rear wires to the rear of the keel. Install the control bar legs onto the apex slider.
Install the bottom front, bottom rear and bottom side wires to the control bar corners, attaching the
basetube to the legs in the process.
10. Flip the glider up onto the control bar.
11. Reinstall all the top wires onto the kingpost.
12. 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.
13. Bolt the kingpost to the base bracket on the keel. Connect the top rear wire and sweep wires to the
keyhole bracket. Connect the bridles to the sail.
14. Reattach the rear sail mount to the rear keel.
15. Finish the assembly of the glider completely according to normal assembly procedures. Reroute the
VG activation ropes and reconnect to the becket on the rear triple block.
16. Do a very careful and complete preflight of the glider according to the normal preflight procedure
as explained earlier in this manual.
Glider Tuning
Dismounting and remounting the sail at the tip
A number of tuning procedures require you to dismount the sail at the rear leading edge. This can be
most easily accomplished by using a large, flat bladed screw driver to pry the sail mount webbing off
of the end of the leading edge. The same technique can be used to reinstall the sail. Take care not to
damage the sail mount webbing, and when remounting the sail, be sure to mount the inner webbing in
the slot, not the outer handle webbing, and be sure that the webbing seats squarely in the slot.
CG adjustment
This has already been covered in the section of this manual on using your wing tufts. Wills Wing
recommends that tuning other than CG adjustment be performed by your Wills Wing dealer.
Turn trim
Turns are caused by an asymmetry in the glider. If you have a turn, first try to make the glider sym-
metrical in every way.
Airframe
Check the leading edges for possible bent tubes. Check that the keel is not bent to one side.
Check for symmetrical twist in the leading edges by checking for symmetry in the alignment of the sail
mount plugs.
Battens
Check the battens for symmetrical shape and batten string tension.
