5. Assembly and disassembly
5.1 Assembly
1. Open the canopy and open the access cover with a screwdriver.
2. Clean and lube the pins, bushings and the ball ends of the
control rod quick connects.
3. With a helper on the wingtip, lead the wings into place. Sight
thru the wing main pin bushings to determine alignment. Push
the main pins in as far as possible. Turn the handles up to the
fuselage wall. Therefore pull out the white securing knob. Set
the knob back in its locking position. The wing flaps connect
automatically. The best method for rigging is to set the flap
o
handle on 0
4. Connect aileron and spoiler controls. Spoilers are best
connected in the closed but not locked position. To check the
quick connects, insure that the sliding latch has returned as far
as it can locking the ball end in place.
The hole must be visibly. It is recommended to fit a diameter 1
mm spring pin in the hole (500 30 771)
Attach the cover plate.
5. Rigging of the stabilizer with the automatic elevator control self
connection mechanism. Set the trim nose
down. Set the stabiliser on, so that
the ball bearing at the fuselage side
push road is inserted into the funnel
at the elevator. Look through the plexi-
glas disc to watch the procedure. When
stabilizer is set down laying on the fin
push it back. The ball bearing will slide
forward in the funnel if you will hold
the elevator in the pertinent position. Use
an 8 mm wrench (supplied with your glider)
to tighten the front mounting bolt. Turn it
so that the securing spring engages into the slit of the bolt.
6. Control check.......... Check tire pressures (3 bar 42 psi main,
2 bar 28 psi tailwheel). Check instruments.
