Carefully pad and tape the edges of the front end of
the rear leading edge tubes, and the rear of the front
leading edge tubes to prevent them from damage
during transportation as they may brake if not padded
properly.
6. Carefully fold the rear of the sail over against the
front, place Velcro ties around the glider and put on
the glider bag, turning the bag 180 deg (i.e. matching
the front part of the bag to the rear part of the glider)
(Fig. 7).
There may be not enough room inside the glider bag
to store all parts: the battens, the speedbar, the tail,
the rear leading edge tubes and the winglets inside.
You can store just some of them inside the glider bag,
keeping the rest outside, well protected from the
moisture and padded.
7. Zip up the glider bag zipper.
COMBAT-C SET-UP PROCEDURE
1. Lay the glider on the ground, with the bag zipper up, with the bag at right angle to the wind.
2. Undo the zipper, remove the speedbar, the tail and winglets from the glider bag.
3. Remove the speedbar from the bag, spread the uprights. Install the speedbar so that the offset of the speedbar is
directed forward in the direction of flight. Attach the speedbar using the quick-pins. Pass the VG-rope through the
cleat; make a knot on the end of the rope
(Fig.8).
4. Flip the glider upright on the control bar. Try to set the basebar on level ground. Remove the glider bag and all
Velcro ties. Remove the batten bag with the battens from the front part of the glider.
5. By lifting up and back on the nose batten strings, push the nose battens fully back into the sail so that the batten
tips rest in the holes on top of the keel tube
(Fig.9).

6. Attach the ring of the bottom front wires to the hook on the bottom nose plate
(Fig.9).
7. Spread the wings almost all the way, so that the sail is a little sagged and the glider is resting on the wing tips and
on the keel tube.
8. Remove the battens from the batten bag, and check each batten for symmetry against the corresponding batten
from the other wing. Align the battens at the nose, and at about the 60% chord point as shown. There should not be
any deviation of more than 3mm (1/8’’) from one batten to the other along the full length of the battens.
Aeros convention is that green marked battens go in the right wing and red marked battens in the left wing.
Battens are numbered from the center outwards, and the longest batten in a Combat is designated as the "# 1"
batten.
Install the cambered top surface battens in the sail, leaving out the shortest four on each side for now.
