5.1.3 Mounting the fiberglass tips
Remove the tip cover and open the wing-tip zipper.
•
Insert the thick end of the fibreglass tip through the opening of the sail and into the aluminium hole
•
at the end of the leading edge. Push firmly until you hear it hitting against the stopper (clack!).
Bend the thin end of the tip toward the trailing edge and, at the same time, position the cup of the
•
tip-lever over it.
Using the attached cord, push the tip-lever into the sail until it snaps shut against the tip and the sail
•
tightens.
Warning: Keep your fingers clear while closing the lever!
Close the wing-tip zipper. At this stage, the sail may not be flat but slightly twisted. If so, twist the
•
end of the sail slightly to make it flat. Failing to do this could introduce a subtle turn when flying
Note: during these operations the sail needs to be loose therefore follow the instructions.
5.1.4 Inserting the Battens
Red-tipped battens go on the left wing, Green on the right one: take them out of the bag and put
•
them on the ground (appropriate side).
Beginning from the centre of the glider insert battens 1 to 6 (size 14 gliders) or 1 to 5 (size 12 and
•
13 gliders) of each wing into their pockets and secure them on the trailing edge.
Note: The number of battens may vary according to the model and size of hang glider.
Note: The nose battens can remain in the sail at all times.
5.1.5 Final Steps
Fit the nose fairing.
•
Assembly is now complete: immediately do the assembly check.
