FUSION MANUAL ADDENDUM
There have been several design improvements made to late model Fusions. Please take a moment to
note the following changes before setting up or flying your new Fusion.
Leading Edge Pocket / Mylar Insert
The mylar pocket has been changed to make the removal of the mylar insert easier. On new style
Fusions the mylar pocket is open to the front so the mylar can be removed without disassembling the
glider.
Nosecone Installation
The new style nose cone has no velcro on the back edge. To install the nosecone slide the top rear edges
between the mylar pocket and mylar insert. Work it back into position flush with the back edge of the
mylar pocket, and then velcro the lower edge into place on the bottom surface. It takes a bit of practice
to get it installed cleanly, but you will notice there is no bump caused by the velcro at the back edge.
Transverse Batten Installation
The transverse battens (54 inches long with black heat shrink on the outside) go inside the bottom
surface at the back between the #3 batten (second shortest curved batten) and the #5 batten (fourth
shortest curved batten). The transverse batten does not need to be removed unless the rear leading
edges are removed to short pack the glider for transport. Please refer to page 6 in this manual for
more information on this.
The new style Fusion sail does not have a batten pocket to hold the transverse batten.
The sprog (internal washout strut) supports the transverse batten below the #4 batten.
To install the transverse batten slide the end of the batten through the webbing receptacle just inboard
of the #3 batten, and then slide it through the webbing receptacle at the #5 rib. Put tension on the
batten towards the #5 rib and firmly close the velcro at the #3 receptacle to keep the transverse batten
in place.The transverse batten is tapered at each end. The longest (flat) side of the batten goes down
towards the bottom surface. The newest Fusion transverse battens are labeled TOP on the short side.
Button Lock Apex Slider
Newer Fusions are equipped with a spring loaded control bar apex slider lock. An illustration of the
new assembly is included in the assembly diagrams. This new system is much easier to release and
engage than the clevis pin and safety ring on earlier models.
