5.1.3 Positioning the Aluminum tip (Outer Sprog)
Note: In the pictures shown below you will see the battens already inserted in the sail. Remember that it
is important – and better – to position the tip before inserting the battens

Hold the rear part of the tip (not attached to the leading edge tube), located in the outer section of
the wing, and rotate it towards the trailing edge until it is inside the sail.

Make sure that the tip wire is free and running parallel to the tip; it must not be twisted around it! In
order to complete the positioning of the tip, you have to close the zipper on the sail; this should be
done after the battens have been inserted.

Repeat the same procedure for the other wing.
5.1.4 Inserting the Battens

The red battens are for the left wing and the green battens are for the right wing. Take them out of
the bag and lay them down on the ground on the correct side.

Start from the centre of the hang glider, begin with the longest one and continue outwards until you
have inserted the shortest batten.

Place each one into its batten pocket and secure it on the trailing edge.

Then insert the straight battens into their pockets on the double surface.
Note: The number of battens may vary according to the model and size of hang glider.
5.1.5 Final Steps

It is now possible to close the aluminium tip zippers. Simply closing the zippers will automatically
secure the position of the tips, by means of a special ribbon.

Close the zipper making sure that both zip pulls are near the nose. By doing this, the crossbar
safety cord is almost completely enclosed inside the sail.

Now place the nose fairing in its final position. All that you have to do is to position the lower Velcro
strip fasteners, because the upper part is guided into the correct position by an elastic cord.

Pass the VG cord through the jam cleat on the speedbar.
Assembly is now complete: now perform the assembly check!
