- pressing on the joint, push the partly folded batten towards the keel section, straightening the batten completely.
When de-rigging the glider simply reverse the procedure written above.
The adjustable tip lever batten is fixed to the LE # 3 tube with the threaded adjuster, giving a possibility to adjust the
sail tension and to correct a light asymmetry in the glider with VG off, if necessary. For example, correcting the light
left turn can be done by increasing the tip lever batten tension on the left wing and (or) decreasing the tip lever batten
tension on the right wing.
To increase the tip lever batten tension rotate the batten with the threaded adjuster counter clockwise.
To decrease the tip lever batten tension rotate the batten clockwise.
NOTE
The excess tensioned tip lever battens will worsen the handling.

12. Install the bottom surface battens (Fig.15).
13. The next step is to deploy both the inboard sprogs and the outboard sprogs and secure them in position. Before
doing so, working through the sprog access zippers, preflight the following items:
- internal ribs to confirm that they are fully zipped up;
- the sprog hardware, and the sprog cable attachments at both ends of each sprog cable;
- the sprog is not twisted 180º;
- the side wire is properly secured;
- the leading edge / cross bar junction unit is properly secured and has no damage.
To deploy and secure each sprog, swing the sprog away from the leading edge and align it in the center of the rear
end of the sprog access zipper.
Fully close the sprog access zipper and this will secure the sprog in the proper position underneath the transverse
batten and capture it in position (Fig.16, 17).
