10) Spread the wings slowly and carefully, making sure that the sail rides forward as neces-
sary at the nose without catching.
Be careful: you can easily tear the sail open at the
nose at this point.
11) Bolt the kingpost to the base bracket on the keel. Make sure the lower compensator
wires are properly routed on the pulleys and captured by the bolt which mounts the kingpost
to the bracket. Connect the top rear wire, lower compensator wire and sweep wires to the
keyhole bracket. Connect the bridles to the sail.
12) Re-attach the rear sail mount to the rear keel.
13) Finish the assembly of the glider completely according to normal assembly procedures.
Re-route the VG activation rope (making sure it passes outside the bottom rear wire, below
the "keel pocket" retraint webbing loops on the way back to the cheek block, above these
loops of the way forward from the cheek block, outside of the hang loops, and in the proper
direction and sequence through the triple blocks) and re-connect to the becket on the front
triple block. Re-connect the lower compensator wire to the crossbar center wire and adjust
according to the procedures as described in the section of the manual on bridle adjustment.
14) Re-adjust the nose sail mount string so that it is slightly slack with the crossbar
tensioned. Do a very careful and complete pre-flight of the glider according to the normal
pre-flight procedure as explained earlier in this manual.
GLIDER TUNING
DISMOUNTING AND RE-MOUNTING THE SAIL AT THE TIP
A number of tuning procedures require you to dismount the sail at the rear leading edge.
This can be most easily accomplished by using a large, flat bladed screw driver to pry the
sail mount webbing off of the end of the leading edge. The same technique can be used to
re-install the sail. Take care not to damage the sail mount webbing, and when re-mounting
the sail, be sure to mount the inner webbing in the slot, not the outer handle webbing, and be
sure that the webbing seats squarely in the slot.
CG ADJUSTMENT
This has already been covered in the section of this manual on using your wing tufts. Wills
Wing recommends that tuning other than CG adjustment be performed by your Wills Wing
dealer.
TURN TRIM
Turns are caused by an asymmetry in the glider. If you have a turn, first try to make the
glider symmetrical in every way.
AIRFRAME
Check the leading edges for possible bent tubes. Check that the keel is not bent to one side.
Check for symmetrical twist in the leading edges by checking for symmetry in the alignment
of the sail mount plugs.
