COMBAT 09 13.7, COMBAT 09 13.2 WITH THE TAIL
Your Combat 09 13.7 (Combat 09 13.2) features the tail installed on the glider, therefore
pitch stability of your glider significantly increased. To achieve best flight characteristics
of your glider with a tail Aeros has made necessary adjustments:
1. The shorter side wires are installed (length is 2615 mm), (the standard side wires
enclosed into the glider bag).
2. All sprogs are set 1 degree lower.
3. The plastic caps of both leading edge tubes # 3 are rotated one hole down.
ATTENTION! IT IS PROHIBITED TO FLY THE GLIDER IN SUCH CONFIGURATION
WITHOUT THE TAIL. THE GLIDER WITH LESS ANHEDRAL AND SMALLER
WASHOUT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO FLY.
Before flying the Combat 09 13.7 (Combat 09 13.2) without the tail it is necessary to
adjust it back to its standard tailless configuration:
1. The standard 2625 mm side wires have to be installed.
2. The sprogs have to be set 1 degree higher.
3. The plastic caps of both leading edge tubes #3 have to be rotated one hole up.
Your Combat 09 12 features the tail installed on your glider, therefore pitch stability of
your glider significantly increased. To achieve best flight characteristics of your glider

- Page 4 The horizontal stabilizer (the tail) is designed to increase the hang glider pitch stability. Although it was designed and tested for Aeros hang gliders, but can be easily mounted to any other hang glider as well (in this case it may require additional tests to find out the optimal mounting angle of the tail).
- Page 5 3. Slide the tail onto the keel tube until the button pins on the keel engages securely into the holes in the center tail section. WORNING! THE TAIL SHOULD BE INSTALLED SO THAT ITS DEHIDRAL IS POINTED UP AND ITS SWEEP POINTED BACKWARD. INSTALLING THE TAIL THE OTHER WAY ARROUND WILL WORSEN THE GLIDER FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS AND THE GLIDER WILL BECOME DANGEROUS TO FLY.
- Page 6 4. Take the tail out of its protection bag. Attach the outer tail section to the center tail section and secure it wit a push pin. 5. Attach the tail to the keel tube as shown on the photo. 6. Place two equal supports, about 1.7 m long under each leading edge tube / cross bar junction and one support under the keel tube so that the side cables are tight and the wing is positioned at positive angle of attack.
- Page 7 9. When the tail is level, grip the rear part of the keel tube # 1 with a holdfast as shown on the photo to fix the keel tube # 2 with a tail in position. 10. Drill a 6 mm diameter hole through the corresponding hole in the rear part of the keel tube # 1.
- Page 8 To improve the roll rate of the glider with a tail and decrease the pitch bar pressure we recommend rotating both LE #3 plastic caps one hole down. Changing the side wires for shorter ones (after consulting with Aeros only) will help to improve the roll rate.
