  • Page 4: Introduction

    Thank you for purchasing an Aeros glider. The Combat L 09 (hereinafter Combat) hang glider is an advanced product of Aeros Ltd. It is aimed at improvement of the modern competitive glider with very high performance combined with maximum safety and comfort.

  • Page 5: Technical Information And Operating Limitations

    (243) (231) Aeros recommends that no attempt should ever be made to deliberately spin the glider. 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. No warranty of adequate stability, controllability, or structural strength is made or implied for operation outside of these limitations.

  • Page 6: Combat Reassembly After Shipping Procedure

    COMBAT REASSEMBLY AFTER SHIPPING PROCEDURE 1. With the glider in the bag (4 meters long) lay the glider on the ground. 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 Breakdown Procedure

    COMBAT BREAKDOWN FOR SHIPPING PROCEDURE This process will basically be the reverse of reassembling after breakdown for shipping. Before beginning, read through the section above on how to re-install the rear leading edges. While following the instructions below, refer to the photos in the section above for reference, if necessary.
  • Page 8 3mm (1/8’’) from one batten to the other along the full length of the battens. Aeros convention is that green (blue) 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 To open or close the batten tip lever press firmly on the undersurface of the tip lever to disengage or engage it (Fig.10). Fig. 10 a Fig. 10 b Insert the battens carefully so as to minimize stress and wear on the sail ( Fig.11).
  • Page 10 11. Install the tip battens (Fig.13) bend the tip batten with the angle approx. 60 degrees; install the batten into the sail with the bend directed to the wing tip; install the flat end of the batten into the angle of the sail tip; straighten the batten little bit and guide another end of the batten onto the leading edge batten hook;...
  • Page 11 Fully close the sprog access zipper and this will secure the sprog in the proper position underneath the transverse batten and capture it in position (Fig.16) Fig. 16 14. Install the nosecone taking care to align it so that it lies flat on the top and bottom of the sail (Fig.17) Don’t fly without the nosecone!

  • Page 12: Preflight Procedure

    PREFLIGHT PROCEDURE Conduct a complete preflight inspection of the glider, checking all assemblies, which have not already been checked. Every bolt, nut, pin, safety ring, and fastener of any kind should be checked during every pre-flight. A full pre-flight inspection should precede every flight you make, not just the first flight of the day. Carefully check the entire length of the leading edge pocket to insure that the mylar insert is lying flat in the pocket.

  • Page 13: Laying The Glider Down Flat

    At the right tip: Same as for the left tip. Along the right leading edge: Same as for the left leading edge. Under the glider at the control bar: Sight down the down tubes, making sure that they are straight. Do not fly with bent down tubes! Check the cables at the control bar corners, making sure there are no kinks or twisted thimbles.

  • Page 14: Launching And Flying The Combat

    LAUNCHING AND FLYING THE COMBAT Before launching, hook in to the glider and do a careful hang check. We recommend that you hang as close to the base tube as possible - this will give you lighter control pressures and better control in both roll and pitch. 1.

  • Page 15: Using The Vg System

    USING THE VG SYSTEM The Combat VG system uses a reduction system of pulleys between the central part of the crossbar and the hang point tower channel to enable a wide VG range. The change in airframe nose angle from VG loose to tight is over 2 degrees.

  • Page 16: Safety In Turbulance

    SAFETY IN TURBULANCE A hang glider is a tailless aircraft and therefore its pitch stability is limited compare to the conventional aircraft. One of the main design goals of the Combat 09 was to maximize pitch stability with a strong rigid sprog and dive sticks system and compensated sprog system.
  • Page 17 8. Fold the wings all the way in to the keel pulling the sail over the top of the leading edges. At each wingtip, remove the tip cover bag. At this time you should be able to dismount the front ends of the root battens from the keel tube. Install the protective pad and sock over the rear wire junction pin and the rear end of the keel.

  • Page 18: Removing The Sail From The Airframe And Re-Installing

  • Page 22: Glider Tuning

    GLIDER TUNING TRIMMING YOUR GLIDER IN PITCH CG ADJUSTMENT You will find that the pitch trim of the Combat, as well as the basetube position at trim, changes with VG setting. At VG loose, the Combat will normally be trimmed very close to stall. The bar position at trim at VG loose will be relatively far out.
  • Page 23 Fig. 29 Fig. 28 3. Place the worktop of the Pelicciometer under middle part of the sprog and press the instrument firmly towards the sprog through the double surface of the glider, so that the entire work top surface of the Pelicciometer touches the sprog. The plumb line of the Pelicciometer will show the sprog angle (Fig.29).
  • Page 24 To adjust the main sprog height: 1. Fully unzip the access zipper to gain access to the crossbar-LE junction ( Fig.31). 2. Remove the pin from the sprog threaded adjuster at the front of the sprog. To raise the sprog, turn the end of the sprog threaded adjuster counter clockwise .To lower the sprog, turn it clockwise.
  • Page 25 AIRFRAME Check the leading edges for possible bent tubes. Check that the keel is not bent to one side. Check that the crossbar neither cracks nor any visible damage. BATTENS Check the battens for symmetrical shape. BATTEN TENSION All battens on the Combat are tensioned by lever batten tips.
