17. Next go to the end of the D-cell and open the sail so that you can see how the interior ribs are folded.

Note the order as it is important when folding up the glider that the last rib is the last one to fold in. Open

the ribs and the first one to connect is the last rib on the D-cell. Here again it is important to have the sail

aligned. Open the sail Velcro either inboard or outboard of the fish cam, realign and reseal the sail. Bring

the fish cam to the end of the rib. Slide the cam tool onto the cam and tighten by rotating the cam around

the end of the rib. Use your left hand, palm up and thumb on the cam at the end of the rib tip to help

rotate cam onto the rib. Do not pull against the sail or push on the upper part of the rib, just be sure to

rotate the cam. Look in the sail and attach the shear rib Velcro - it's the material at the center of this rib.

18. Next cam in place the rib with the spoiler arm mechanism. If you learn to control the fish cam with

your left hand and the rib with your right (palms up - see the picture), you'll find that to be the quickest

technique and require the least amount of the Velcro to be opened. It also saves your skin from the hook

portion of the Velcro which is the most abrasive. After that, connect the bungee to the spoiler arm - this

must also become part of your Preflight Check.
