It is important that replacement lines are made from the correct materials and diameters. You
should check lengths against their counterpart on the other side of the wing to make ensure
symmetry. Once the line has been replaced, inflate and check the glider before flying.
Maintenance Checks
Your wing should be checked regularly to ensure proper airworthiness. It should be serviced
by a qualified professional for the first time after 24 months, or after 100 hours. If you are
a frequent flyer, more than 100 hrs per year, then we recommend to have the wing serviced
annually.
The dimensions of the lines tend to move during the first part of their life, it is therefore
recommended to have a performance trim check within the first 50hrs of use. To ensure the
correct trim, the lines should be measured and adjusted to the published values as necessary.
Loops in the B lines and the AR3 risers are in place to make the trimming process easier.
It is important to perform regular inspections to know the exact condition of all of the
components of your wing. We recommend that inspections are carried out by a qualified
professional. The sail cloth and the lines do not age in the same way or at the same rate so
you will have to change the line set during the normal use of the wing.
We recommend to change the entire line set after 150hrs of use.
You alone are responsible for your flying equipment and your safety depends on it. Take care
of your equipment and have it regularly inspected. Changes in inflation/ground handling/
flying behaviour indicates the gliders aging, if you notice any changes you should have the
wing checked before flying again. These are the basic elements of the check up:
Porosity is measured with a porosity meter, the time taken by a certain volume of air to go
through a certain surface of cloth. Measurements are made in several places along the top
surface of the the leading edge.
