anhedral angle by electronic inclinometer. Put it on the top D-spar’s
surface, align with the spar. Anhedral has to be -0.4 ÷ -0.6deg
6.2.5. Check the aileron position. Measure the ailerons neutral setting up
angle. Make measurement at Rib N5 point. In neutral position they have to
be placed on 0.5-0.7 deg up from the keel level.
6.2.6. Check the ailerons deflection angle. Maximum deflection angle up is
33deg, down – 16deg.
6.2.7. Check sweep back angle. Pass the line between very end points of
the plastic parts of the wing tips. The distance from that line to the front
edge of the bottom D-spars connection plate should be 2150-2170mm
6.2.8. Check the hooking strap for wear. Replace it if discovering even the
slightest symptom of wear.
6.2.9. Inspect the sail.
Thoroughly inspect the sail, looking for tears, torn threads at the seams,
especially along the rear edge and in the root part of the wing. Contact
your local dealer or the manufacturer if the sail is damaged, and you’ll get
professional repair.
6.3. Maintenance
You should keep your glider in good condition, to ensure it has optimum
performance for a long time.
Don’t put the glider in the cover down on an uneven surface with sharp
edges. This can cause damage to the D-cells.
Don’t transport your glider in a car without soft pads on the roof rack. This
can cause damage to the D-cells.
It is not recommended to leave your glider under the sun longer than it is
necessary.
Don’t leave the glider resting on the control frame long when strong wind is
blowing. This decreases lifetime of the sail.
Don’t pack the glider if its sail is wet. If necessary, spread the sail and let it
dry as soon as possible.
It is allowed to wash the sail with pure water only, without any soap or
washing-powder.
When setting up and breaking down the glider, take care not to allow sand
or dirt into the glider bag.
Keep the telescopic connections thoroughly clean, as their dirtying will
make set up and break down difficult or impossible.
