7. Mount the sail mount webbing anchor straps at the front leading edge tubes and sail retainer webbing strap to the keel
tube with screws.
8. Reconnect the bottom surface center zipper at the nose, zip part way up, and install a securing zip rope at the nose.
9. After the frame is fully installed, mount the webbing anchor strap to the rear leading edge with the clevis pin located 100
mm (4'') from the end of the leading edge. Make sure the strap is properly oriented on the bottom of the leading edge tube
(which is on top with the glider upside down) and that the strap is not wrapped around the tube. (See the section at the
beginning of the manual about re-assembly after shipping.)
10. Flip the glider. Attach the kingpost to the keel tube channel. Check that the routing of the sweep wire and all VG ropes
around the kingpost channel are right and clear.
11. Working through the crossbar junction zippers, insert the bottom and upper side wires into the sail and attach to the
crossbar, making sure that no cable is wrapped around a leading edge or crossbar, and that no thimbles are cocked or
twisted.
12. Insert the upper front wire into the sail and attach to the nose plate. Don't forget to thread this wire through the
nosecone hole.
13. Attach the bottom and upper rear wires to the rear of the keel.
14. Set the glider up onto the control bar.
15. Spread the wings slowly and carefully, making sure that the sail rides forward as necessary at the nose without
catching.
Be careful: you can easily tear the sail open at the nose at this point.
16. Bolt the hangloop tangs to the kingpost.
17. Finish the assembly of the glider completely according to normal assembly procedures.
18. Do a very careful and complete preflight of the glider according to the normal preflight procedure as explained earlier in
this manual.
