2.2.10. Remove 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. There should not be any deviation of more than 3 mm (1/8’’) from one batten to
the other along the full length of the battens. Correct any asymmetry using the template.
NOTE
Two longest battens (# 1 battens) are not removed from the battens pockets during the break
down procedure.
Aeros convention is that red marked battens go in the left wing and blue marked battens in the
right. Battens are numbered from the center outwards, and the longest batten on the Still-17 is
designated as the "# 1" batten.
Install the cambered top surface battens in the sail and fix them with the double tensioned
rubber bands. Insert battens carefully, so as to minimize stress and wear on the sail. Never
insert or remove top surface battens with the crossbar tensioned (except for up to the last two
on each side) and never insert or remove battens with heavy wind pressure on the top of the
sail or in any condition which causes the battens
to slide with great resistance in the pockets.
If you choose not to check your battens for
symmetry before each flight, you should, at
minimum check them once a month.
Do not install the tip battens at this stage
