5. Now with the slider removed from the rail (Fig. 37) it
is possible to reposition the rail along the keel tube. To
do so unscrew the fixing nuts, reposition the rail and
tighten the nuts back.
6. Align the ends of the auxiliary plastic insert, inserted in the slider and the rail and carefully slide the ball bearing
slider from the auxiliary plastic insert back on the rail.
7. Using a screwdriver install the front limiter back on the rail.
COMBAT SPROG ADJUSTMENT AND FLIGHT TESTING
The Combat uses inboard and outboard sprogs in combination with one transverse batten on each sprog. Each
transverse batten spans two top surface battens, so a total of eight top surface battens are supported. The sprog
system is the primary component of the system, which provides pitch stability.
The function of the system is to support the trailing edge of the sail at low angles of attack, and thus to provide a nose
up pitching moment. The sprogs are adjusted at the factory to their proper settings.
SPROG MEASUREMENT
The sprog angles are very critical for modern hang gliders and should be checked regularly. The sprog angles can be
checked with any digital electronic angle meter.
1. Set the VG to full tight.
2. Rest the keel tube on a support and using the angle meter as shown on the figure 38 set the keel tube horizontal
(0 deg. on the angle meter). This angle has to be maintained during further measurements.

3. Fully open the sprog access zipper. Place the worktop of the angle meter under the middle part of the sprog so
that the entire worktop surface of the angle meter touches the sprog.
The scale of the angle meter will show the sprog angle (Fig. 39).
The measurements for Combat 13.5 GT, Combat 12.7 GT and Combat 12.4 GT should be as follows:
