The set up procedure should be carried out on a clean, non-abrasive

surface.

ATTENTION: After each set up procedure you must perform a preflight

inspection of the glider.

2.1. Take the speedbar out of the bag, spread the uprights. Install the

speedbar. Pass the flap’s and RVG’s ropes through channels in the speedbar

and the stoppers. Fix the speedbar using the quick-pins. Hook front wire.

2.2. Rest the glider on the control bar, put the bags inside the D-spar, take

the pin of the nose hardware out, spread the wings (don’t take the bags off

the D-spar ends), remove Velcro tapes.

2.3. For one side at a time:

tand at the leading edge side,

•take the bag off the D-spar end,

•press on the tongues of the tip clamp

•put tip on the hooks

•turn the tongue of the tip clamp to the D-spar wall’s side

•unroll the sail, holding both aileron and flap

•put in the tip tube

•open the zipper on the sail’s tip and put the tip rib and clamp wall in to

the sail, close the zipper

•connect the tip rib to the trailing edge tube

•Do the same for the other wing side

2.4. Nose unit connection

•Put out the keel tube stinger

•Open wings as far as possible – hardware at nose must join. If the nose

ear does not match into the nose fork, turn left and right keel beam to

adjust position of the ear, corresponding to the fork

•Insert nose pin. To do this, stand at the keel beam side, moving the keel

beam slightly

•

•Insert safety ring into the nose pin. Insert nose tube and secure it with

the nose pin ring.

•

•Put in the keel tube stinger

2.5. Install left and right trailing edge tube on the keel tube

2.6. Fasten root zippers on the upper and lower sail by 1/3 of their way

2.7. Install winglets

•crew out the head from winglet stud

•Put the winglet on the tip so the stud will go through the hole in the tip

•crew the head on the stud and tighten it (winglet must not move on the

tip)

•

2.8.Connect the sail to the tip

•fold the tip a little, slip the front and back corner of the sail on the head

pins

•press the sail to the tip with clamp wall (be sure there are no wrinkles on

the sail between clamp wall and tip)

2.9. Put out the tip tube, fold down the tip strut as much as possible and put

the tip strut’s free end on the pin on the trailing edge. The tip strut side

edge must be under the angle on the tip rib’s bracket.

2.10.Lock the tip strut, connect top and bottom sail each other

2.11.Repeat steps 2.6 through 2.8 for another side

2.12. For one side at a time:

•et ribs to the trailing edge (don’t lock on center yet). Hook rubber of

the ribs wire to the ribs wire holding bracket. Make sure that each rib

end is properly installed into the trailing edge tube. The tube must be

placed between the limiting plates on the rib fork (end)

•Pull aileron rod out of the sail as far as possible

•Attach the arm for rib tensioning to the ribs cable and lock it. Tightening

force should appear when the arm is parallel to the keel beam. If the

tightening force appears from the very beginning, it means that either

the rib tips were not placed on the trailing edge tube or the rib

tensioning wire is jammed. It is necessary to check and correct all

irregularities, and after that tense the ribs

2.13. Repeat steps 2.12 for another side

2.14. Connect left and right safety wire each other

2.15. Connect flap controls to the flaps.

2.11. Attach aileron arms to the ailerons.
