4) Drill out the two pop rivets which secure the kinpost top insert into the kingpost, and
remove the insert and kingpost top from the kingpost.
5) Pull the upper compensator cable out the top of the kingpost, exposing the pulley junction
with the lower compensator cable. (It is necessary to rotate the cable slightly so as to let
the pulley at the junction pass by the pulley which is fixed in place in the top of the kingpost).
Note that in order to get the junction completely out of the kingpost you need maximum slack
in the lower compensator wire. This is the reason for spreading the wings all the way (to get
the crossbar center as far aft as possible) and for detaching the keyhole bracket from the
accessory cord / bungee return system.
6) Unbolt the old upper compensator cable from the tangs joining it to the pulley junction and
install the new upper compensator cable.
7) Re-assemble all disassembled parts, taking care to be sure that all wires are properly
routed and that the upper compensator passes over the upper kingpost pulley and is captive
on that pulley by the kingpost top.
MAINTENANCE
You should continually maintain your glider in a proper state of tune and repair to insure
optimum airworthiness, performance and flight characteristics. Failure to properly maintain
your glider may lead to a dangerous loss of strength, stability or control responsiveness of
the glider. Following any mishap that results in damage to the glider immediately have any
damaged component repaired or replaced. We recommend that you have all such mainte-
nance work done by your Wills Wing dealer. In addition, please follow the following mainte-
nance schedule:
EVERY MONTH:
1) Spray all zippers on the glider with silicone spray lubricant. Also spray your battens as
you install them in the glider to lubricate the insides of the batten pockets. Do not use any
other type of lubricant. Wipe off any excess silicone so that it does not attract dirt. If you fly
in a dusty or sandy environment, it will help to prolong the life of your batten pockets if you
wipe each batten with a rag before you install it in the sail.
2) Check your battens on a flat level floor against the batten diagram provided, and correct
any that deviate from the pattern by more than 1/4".
EVERY SIX MONTHS:
1) Have a complete inspection performed on the glider and replace any suspension system
component that shows any wear, and any cable that shows any kinks, wear, damage, corro-
sion, etc.
2) Inspect all bolts for tightness, all safeties for proper installation and possible damage.
Inspect plates and fittings for damage, holes in tubes for elongation.
3) Inspect the sail for wear, tears, UV damage, loose stitching, etc.
4) Disassemble basetube pulley assembly, clean, lubricate with white grease, and re-as-
semble.
