    Section 2. SET UP PROCEDURE 2.1. SET UP PROCEDURE FROM THE PACKAGE 4 METRES LONG Having used the specific techniques described in this manual you will perform the set up and break down procedures without any difficulties. However, the following procedural descriptions are not intended to be a substitute for the familiarization procedure of your dealer at the time the wing is delivered.
  • Page 6 But you can feel free to install them the other way around, i.e. red marked battens go to the right and green marked battens go to the left. This is because Aeros do not tune glider’s turn by changing battens camber, so originally your glider comes with left and right corresponding battens symmetrical between each others.
  • Page 7 Fig. 5 Fig. 6 2.1.8. Spread the wings all the way. Pay attention to the nose bottom part of the sail, it has to be located between the keel tube and nose channel! Near the kingpost hole find the shackle of the sweep wire. Pull the shackle out the rear end of the keel pocket, and check that the sweep wire is not wrapped around the keel.

    2.2. SET UP PROCEDURE FROM THE PACKAGE 6 METRES LONG 2.2.1. With the glider in the bag (6 meters long) lay the glider on the ground (Fig. 8). Fig. 8 2.2.2. Undo the zipper. Remove the battens and the control bar from the bag. 2.2.3.
  • Page 9 2.2.6. Spread the wings so, that the sail is a little loose and the glider is resting flat on the ground (Fig. 11). Fig. 11 2.2.7. Remove the protective bags from the downtubes. Spread the downtubes. Install the control bar according to the marking. Fix the control bar using nuts and safety rings (Fig. 12). Fig.
  • Page 10 But you can feel free to install them the other way around, i.e. red marked battens go to the right and green marked battens go to the left. This is because Aeros do not tune glider’s turn by changing battens camber, so originally your glider comes with left and right corresponding battens symmetrical between each others.
  • Page 11 Fig. 15 Install the cambered top surface battens in the sail, leaving out the shortest two on each side for now. Insert the battens carefully, so as to minimize stress and wear on the sail. Never insert or remove top surface battens with the crossbar tensioned (except for up to the last two on each side) and never insert or remove battens with heavy wind pressure on the top of the sail or in any condition which causes the battens to slide with great resistance in the pockets.
  • Page 12 2.2.11. Check all wires for twisted thimbles or tangs (Fig. 17). Fig. 17 2.2.12. Attach the shackle of the sweep wire to the hook, which is placed on the keel tube (Fig. 18). An in-flight disengagement of this attachment will cause a complete loss of structural support of the glider and a total loss of control.
  • Page 13 2.2.14. Install the bottom surface battens. The longest bottom surface batten is inboard batten. Push the battens all way into the pocket until the rear end is secure in the batten pocket. The strings on the rear ends of the bottom surface battens are to facilitate removal of the battens from the sail during breakdown (Fig.
  • Page 14 Fig. 21 2.2.16. Install the washout tips; just swing them to the right place underneath the corresponding top surface battens through the access zipper in the bottom surface. 2.2.17. Remove the protective bag from hang detail. 2.2.18. Do a complete preflight inspection of the glider, Section 3.

  • Page 15: Section 3. Preflight Inspection Of The Glider

    Section 3. PREFLIGHT INSPECTION OF THE GLIDER Conduct a complete preflight inspection of the glider, checking all assemblies, which have not already been checked. Every bolt, nut, pin, safety ring, and fastener of any kind should be checked during every pre-flight. A full pre-flight inspection should precede every flight you make, not just the first flight of the day.

  • Page 19: Checking The Tubings

    Some degree of fatigue due to repeated bending of cables is almost unavoidable in an aircraft that is assembled and disassembled with every flight. Bottom side wires are subject to the highest loads in flight, and are therefore the most critical. 4.3.
