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.
2.3. Unfold the sail along the leading edge to its full length. Attach the rear leading edge tubes # 3 to the front leading
edge tubes # 2 according to the marking (L-left, R-right, marks must be on top).
Working on one wing at a time, and working with the
appropriate leading edge # 3, fold the outer sprog,
which is attached to the rear leading edge, forward
against the rear leading edge. Slide the inboard end
of the leading edge tube # 3 into the sail.
Then slide the rear leading edge forward, allowing
the sprog end to come outside the sail at the access
zipper, and slide the rear leading edge into the front
leading edge.
Align the rear leading edge properly so that the
sprog bracket is on the inside of the leading edge,
and slide the rear leading edge forward, rotating as
necessary, until the button spring in the rear leading
edge engages securely into the holes in the front
leading edge. When the rear leading edge is fully
engaged, you will not be able to rotate it (Fig. 1).

2.4. Tighten the sail along the leading edge by putting the sail mount webbing into the slot in the end cap of the
leading edge # 3.
Note: the sail mount screws on the front part of the leading edge tubes # 1 must be unscrewed, otherwise the
excess sail tension will not allow tightening the sail.
The sail mount screws have to be screwed back after you accomplish all steps in section "Combat set-up
procedure" from item 4.1 through item 4.8.
2.5. Secure the sail mount webbing to the leading edge # 3 with the sail mount webbing Velcro.
Note: When spreading the wings with the sail mount screws been unscrewed check that the sail mount
webbing is in proper position in the slot of the end cap of the leading edge # 3.
2.6. Install the wingtip protection bags.
Put battens on top of the glider between Mylar
pockets in the front part of the glider.
Place Velcro ties around the glider.
Put the speedbar, the tail and winglets between
leading edges in the rear part of the glider.
Put the glider bag back on and zip it up (Fig. 2).
