Laying the Glider Down Flat
Once the glider is assembled it can easily be laid down flat on the ground.
Disengage the spring loaded apex slider lock from the slider assembly. On older gliders, remove the
clevis pin from the control bar apex slider to allow it move forward on the track. If the control bar
apex is is not released from the aft locked position, the sidewires will become extremely tight as the
control bar is rotated back and damage to the sail and airframe may occur.
Loosen the back-up hang loop to allow the control bar top to slide forward on the keel track. Detach
the bottom of the nose cone. Disengage the keyhole tang (front wires) from the nose bolt. Pull the
control bar apex all the way forward on the slider track. Lift the nose of the glider and rock it forward
over the control bar, and then lay it down.
Reverse the procedure to set the glider upright again.
Setting the Glider Up Flat on the Ground
In areas where the ground is not rocky and when there are strong winds, you may wish to set up the
glider flat on the ground. This is easy to do, and relatively few parts of the set up procedure are
different from what has been described.
1. After unfolding the control bar and securing the basetube center sleeve, flip the glider over right
side up with the control bar still flat under the glider.
2. Spread the wings and install all the battens, sprogs, washout tubes and the wingtip fairings. (Note:
Perform all the normal preflight operations as described above).
3. Tension the crossbar.
4. When ready, raise the nose of the glider and pull the control bar forward under the glider. Push the
control bar apex fully aft, engage the spring loaded apex slider lock, and secure the bottom front
wires.
5. Install the nosecone.
