Page 5: Technical Information And Operating Limitations
Combat 13.5-GT, Combat-12.7 GT and Combat-12.4 GT WARNING Aeros recommends that no attempt should ever be made to deliberately spin the glider. WARNING The stability, controllability, and structural strength of a properly maintained Combat have been determined to be adequate for safe operation when the glider is operated within the entire manufacturer specified limitations. -
Page 6: Combat Reassembly After Shipping Procedure
2. COMBAT REASSEMBLY AFTER SHIPPING PROCEDURE 2.1. With the glider in the bag (4 meters long) lay the glider on the ground. 2.2. Unzip the bag. Undo the velcro straps. Remove the batten bag, the speedbar, the rear leading edge tubes # 3 and winglets from the bag. -
Page 7: Combat Set-Up Procedure
3.1. Lay the glider on the ground or floor, unzip the bag and remove Velcro ties. Remove the speedbar, the tail and winglets from the glider. Remove wingtip protection bags. 3.2. Check to see that the leading edges are marked “Left” and “Right”. If they are not, mark them with an indelible marker. - Page 8 3mm (1/8’’) from one batten to the other along the full length of the battens. Aeros convention is that green marked battens go in the right wing and red marked battens - in the left. Battens are numbered from the center outwards, and the longest batten in a Combat is designated as the "# 1"...
- Page 9 4.9. Spread the wings all the way and check all cables for any twisted thimbles or tangled cables. At the rear of the keel 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.
- Page 10 4.13. The next step is to deploy both the inboard sprogs and the outboard sprogs and secure them in position. Before doing so, working through the sprog access zippers, preflight the following items: - internal ribs to confirm that they are fully zipped up; - the sprog hardware, and the sprog cable attachments at both ends of each sprog cable;...
- Page 11 4.16. Undo the Velcro of the control frame apex protecting pads and insert the flaps of the control frame apex protection pads inside the sail. Turn the hang point spreader bar perpendicular to the keel tube (Fig. 17). Close the central access zipper (Fig. 18). Figure 17 Figure 18 4.17.

Page 12: Preflight Procedure
WARNING The tail should be installed so that its dihedral is pointed up and its sweep pointed backwards. Installing the tail the other way around will worsen the glider stability and the glider will become dangerous to fly. NOTE If there is a slack between the keel and the tail we recommend wrap the keel tube with a tape or sticky Dacron as shown on the figure 22. - Page 13 Along the trailing edge, left wing Check that there are no tears in the sail material along the trailing edge. Check that all battens are properly secured. Check that the outboard and inboard sprogs are properly secured in position supporting the transverse battens, and that the sprog access zippers are properly closed.

Page 14: Laying The Glider Down Flat
Check the main and backup hang loops, pins and safety rings, bolt and nut, that they are properly installed in the proper position and that they are in good condition. Close the centre zipper. 6. LAYING THE GLIDER DOWN FLAT Once you have the glider set up, it can be laid down flat on the ground. -
Page 15: Aerotowing
8. AEROTOWING WARNING Special care must be taken in any form of towing. Due to the tail on the Combat it is recommended to pick up a proper tow cart with a shallow groove in the keel support. It is not recommended using a tow carts with V-shaped deep keel supports as they may damage the tail on the glider during lift off the cart. -
Page 16: Combat Breakdown
approaches, maneuvering around obstacles or into a restricted area, or downwind or crosswind landings are not recommended for pilots below an advanced skill level. We recommend that you make your approach with the VG set between full loose and 1/2 on. A full loose VG setting will reduce glide performance, making it easier to land on a target or within a small field. - Page 17 12.2. Remove the undersurface battens. Unzip the sprog access zippers all the way to the leading edge end of the zippers and put out the inboard and outboard sprogs. Remove the tip folded battens and the four shortest battens from the outboard section of the sail. Roll the outboard section of the sail and put the outboard wing tip bags on (Fig.28).

Page 18: Removing The Sail From The Airframe And Re-Installing
Figure 31 Figure 32 12.12. Secure the sail with the Velcro sail ties. The first Velcro tie is installed by passing it over the top of the keel tube just near the Crossbar-LE tube junctions, and then installing it around the glider leading edges. 12.13. - Page 19 13.1.6. Dismount downtube fitting-side wire connections, remove the side wires and pass them through the holes inside of the sail. NOTE Reassemble the hardware removed in its place in the original order so that it doesn’t get lost. All disassembled assemblies on the glider must be reassembled in the proper order and orientation. 13.1.7.

If you have a question about the need to repair or replace some part of your glider, feel free to contact your dealer or Aeros directly. It is not always obvious which items require attention and which may not. - Page 21 6. Inspect the sail for wear, tears, UV damage, loose stitching, etc. 7. Disassemble basetube pulley assembly, clean, lubricate with white grease, and re-assemble. 8. Lightly spray all zippers on the glider with silicone spray lubricant. Spray the keel tube with silicone spray lubricant for better VG operation.

Page 23: Glider Tuning
16. GLIDER TUNING CG ADJUSTMENT The trim speed of your glider is affected by several factors. Among the most significant is the location along the keel of your hang point. The farther forward your hang point is, the faster the glider will trim, the less effort will be required to fly fast, and the more effort will be required to fly slow. - Page 24 5. Now with the slider removed from the rail (Fig. 37) it is possible to reposition the rail along the keel tube. To do so unscrew the fixing nuts, reposition the rail and tighten the nuts back. Figure 37 6. Align the ends of the auxiliary plastic insert, inserted in the slider and the rail and carefully slide the ball bearing slider from the auxiliary plastic insert back on the rail.

- Page 26 In this case you have to lower the sprogs on the side the glider is turning towards and raise the sprogs on the other side by the same amount. To lower the sprog, turn it clockwise. To raise the sprog, turn the entire sprog counter clockwise. One full turn raises or lowers the sprog about 15 mm.
