of the assembled glider should have the direction with the wind from the
side or slightly back (pic.3).
For two bag transport only!
3.)
Fix the second D spar with the bolts and secure it with the pins and
bungee (pic.4).
4.)
Take the outer wing tube out of the D-spar (pic.5).
5.)
Fix the rope which keeps the keel position (pic.6) and the control
cable (pic.7). Check the routing of the cable and ensure that the
control cable is fixed with two buckles.
6.)
Tighten the nose fitting and secure it with the pin (pic.8+9).

To find the position, use the hole in the sail. Pull out the carbon leading
edge and fix it at the outer support (pic. 12-16).
10.) Insert the tip tube and secure it with the Velcro (pic. 17)
11.) Insert rib/sail pin of the three outer ribs and secure it with the bungee
(pic.18). Before moving to the keel, ensure that the outer wing tube sticks
completely in the spar. Have a look through the hole in the sail
.

leading edge is in place. Tighten the sail till the mark at the rope is just
behind the clamp (pic.20).

side till the spring pin snaps and secures the lever (pic.21)
14.) Fix the tail (pic.22).
15.) Insert the rope (and the small bags if you like) in the tail bag and place the
bag at the keel to a very rear position. Note: The bag must be at the rear
position in order to have enough distance to the control cable at the back
side of the keel (pic.24). to prevent a obstruction of the control cable.
16.) Close the zipper and insert the flap pins (pic.25+26).
17.) You can store the bag in the D-spar (pic.27).

pin (pic.28+29)
19.) Check the routing of the control cable (pic. 30)
20.) Check the function and deflection of the spoiler (pic.31).
21.) Fix the nose cover. The Velcro has to be replaced if it loses strength. Don’t
fly with loose nose cover!
