SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
1. Any time you suffer a crash or extremely hard landing you should have an “annual” inspection done on your glider
to insure that you find all damaged parts. Following any hard landing, be sure to inspect the apex hardware, the control
bar legs and basetube, and all control bar fittings for damage. Any time you replace a control bar leg or basetube, you
must carefully inspect all related fittings and replace any that are bent or damaged.
Hard landings may also impose very high loads on the sprog assemblies and transverse battens, and bridle lines.
Inspect accordingly.
. If your glider is ever exposed to salt water you will need to have the glider completely disassembled in accordance 2

A NOTE ABOUT CABLES AND CABLE MAINTENANCE
The cables which support the glider’s airframe are critical components of the glider’s structure, and must be
maintain ctice in the design of aircraft structures to design to an ultimate
strength of 1.5 times the highest expected load in normal service.
Hang glider cables, like other structural components on the glider, are typically designed with a structural safety factor
of only a loss in cable strength can be tolerated.
A cable with even a single broken strand must be replaced before the glider is flown again. A cable which has been
bent sharply enough to have taken a permanent set must also be replaced immediately.
Some degree of fatigue due to repeated bending of cables is almost unavoidable in an aircraft that is assembled and
disassembled with every flight. Side wires are subject to the highest loads in flight, and are therefore the most critical.
This is why we recommend that these wires be replaced annually, even if there is no known damage.
