Make sure that:
a) The tang is located in the stud recess.
b) The tensioner cables are not twisted.
c) The safety pin secures the cable onto the stud and is re-fitted correctly into restraint
cable stud.

With the crossboom now tensioned, disconnect the rigging tool pulley from the keyhole
tang and remove the rigging tool from the rear of the keel.
fitted ribs are pushed FULLY home and that the upper and lower elastics are fitted to all
ribs.
12.
Locate the washout tubes onto the sockets, ensuring they are seated firmly down to the
limit.
13.
Engage each tip fin on the leading edge spigot and then attach the two clevis pins with
nylon washers and safety clips.
The aircraft becomes less directionally and laterally stable,
especially at high speed/light weight/high power, if tip fins are
not fitted.
Trim speed is also reduced if tip fins are omitted.
The tip fin vents must not be covered.
14.
Proceed to the front of the wing, lift and support the nose of the wing on the knee.
Locate, fit and push fully home the nose rib, finally locating the front end onto the spigot
provided on the keel tube.
15.
With the assembled wing flat on the ground, ensure that its nose is into wind (with the
nose facing the direction that the wind is blowing from). Line up the trike behind the wing
with its nose facing the wing, but at least ten feet away to give clearance for the wing to
be raised onto its control frame.
16.
Ensure that the lower (flying) wires are not tangled, and that the nose wires are laid out
with the nose catch towards the front of the trike. When you are ready to raise the wing,
have the rigging tool to hand and stand at the nose facing the rear, with a helper stood at
the rear facing towards you. Have a final check that the wind is on the nose and not too
strong. Lift the nose while the helper lifts the rear of the keel. Keep the wing level and
allow the wing to rotate around the control bar as it is raised, by walking towards the trike,
when sufficient height has been attained start to allow the A frame to take the weight of
the wing. When fully up the rear wires will become taught, keep the wing horizontal and
get the helper to keep constant pressure upwards and rearwards on the rear of the keel
while you stoop to pick up the nose swan catch.
