7.1.3 Final Steps
Put the battens and the fibreglass tips into their bag.
•
Return the extremity of the keel to its closed position.
•
Remove the nose fairing.
•
Unhook the nose wires. To do this you have to pull the nose downwards slightly. Pull the nose
•
ribbon so the nose's hook safety system will open automatically and you can remove the front wire
shackle.
Remove the kingpost cable attached to the keel. To achieve this, it may be necessary to use one
•
hand to pull on the kingpost towards the trailing edge, while with the other hand you unhook the
shackle from the keel. Fix the shackle to the sail, at the base of the kingpost.
Completely release crossbar tension.
•
Close the wings. To perform this operation, stand behind the sail and at the centre, grip the trailing
•
edges of both sides of the wing and pull them upwards and towards you.
This partially closes the wings.
•
Complete the wing-closure procedure by manually bringing one and then the other inwards towards
•
the keel. Keep the wing tips close to the ground while moving the wing inwards.
The sail tends to become trapped between the leading edge and the keel. Pull it upwards and
•
outwards so that the sail is hanging down outside the spars.
Lower the kingpost, remove its cap and put on the protection.
•
Roll up the remainder of the sail and fasten the glider ties. Ensure that where the leading edge cloth
•
meets the uprights, it curves inwards and upwards to prevent damage.
Put the nose cone under the Velcro tie closest to the nose.
•
Put the glider bag onto the hang glider.
•
Turn the hang glider over and lay it carefully on the ground.
•
Unhook the speed-bar and place the protection over the downtube tips. This protects the sail from
•
damage.
While lowering the downtubes, make sure that all the wires pass between the downtubes and are
•
not tangled. Also check that the hang strap is not twisted under the downtubes.
