The correct batten tension can be adjusted and
checked as follows. Unlatch the batten tip without
taking it out of the pocket at the trailing edge of
the sail. Measure the angle between the opened
part of the batten tip and the batten tube. If this
angle is about 30 degrees, then the batten tension
is adjusted correctly (fig. 40).
To increase batten tension rotate the threaded
lever batten tip adjuster counter clockwise. To
decrease batten tension rotate the threaded lever
batten tip adjuster clockwise.
SAIL MOUNT CAPS ADJUSTMENT
The turn of the wing can be corrected by rotating one of the sail mount plastic caps (fig. 41).
Figure 41
A left turn is corrected by twisting the right sail cap
clockwise (twisting the sail up at the trailing edge).
A right turn is corrected by twisting the left sail
mount cap counter clockwise (twisting the sail up
at the trailing edge). If rotation of the plastic cap on
one side is not enough to compensate turn, you
can at the same time rotate the plastic cap on
another wing in opposite direction.
CG ADJUSTMENT
CG adjustment is done by changing the location of your hang point along the keel. The farther forward
your hang point is, the faster the wing will trim, the less effort will be required to fly fast, and the more
effort will be required to fly slow.
On the ADAM-13T, the hang point position is adjusted by repositioning the hang bracket along the keel
tube.
The trim speed of the ADAM-13T is 55-60 km/h. with the hang bracket installed in the most forward
position.
10. MAINTENANCE
This section contains a recommended schedule of periodic maintenance. None of the items in this section
are a substitute for the continual and consistent practice of proper pre-flight inspections and immediate
maintenance of any items on the wing, which require it. Safety requires that your wing be fully airworthy
for every flight. Nuts and bolts must always be secure, safety rings must always be in place, and damage
to any part, which could compromise the airworthiness of the wing, cannot be tolerated. If you have a
question about the need to repair or replace some part of your wing, feel free to contact your dealer or
Aeros directly. It is not always obvious which items require attention and which may not. Minor dents or
dings in a non-critical location on an airframe tube may not require any repair or maintenance. On the
other hand, a wire that has been kinked one time can fail very quickly after that, and should be replaced
immediately.
