4.2.3
Stand The Wing Up
Rotate the control frame to the vertical position so that the wing is resting
on the control bar. Do not attempt to connect the nose catch now. Remove
the glider bag and unclip all the wing straps
Figure 3 Section 4. Stand the Wing Up
4.2.4
Spread Leading Edges
Carefully spread both leading edges out half way then spread them both out to the approximate flying
position. It is essential that the keel and the leading edges are kept in the same plane or damage will
result. Each wing should be kept low to the ground whilst moving forward.
4.2.5
Insert King Post
Remove king post base padding and plug the kingpost into the socket on
the rear most hole of the keel. Make sure that the cross bar wires are not
twisted and are on either side of the king post.

4.2.6
Insert Main Sail Battens
Remove the battens from the bag. Lay out the top surface battens
(curved) in order of descending length toward the tip. Place the “red”
battens in the left wing (curve forwards), and the “green” battens in
the right. Insert the top surface battens except for the last three
battens. Start with the battens closest to the keel. The battens are
inserted into the pocket with gentle pressure until they meet
resistance. When securing the battens lift trailing edge, push fitting in
to sail pocket and rotate fitting downward to lock hinge.
