before flying! Close the lower sail zipper.
9.)
Check that the nose fittings are secured with lynch pins and bungees.
10.) Check the main pin lock: Check all the safety rings. All lynch pins must be closed
and the safety bungees must be placed around the main bolt and pushed under the lynch
pin.
11.) Attach nose fairing .
12.) All push pins on the control frame must be secured with a rubber tube cover.
13.) Test the spoilers by lifting a wing or moving the control frame.
The spoilers should move easily and deflect 80-90°. The outer spoiler should deflect at least
70°.
14.) Place the flaps in the take-off position (see 6.1) and check whether the linkage rope shows
signs of wear. The rope must run freely in the rope pulley. Also check the return rope and the
bungee coming out of the keel for wear. The right and left flaps should have the same
deflection slightly pulled and should not touch each other in the 0° position (flaps not deflected)
and should be in contact with the keel.
The glider bags, wingtip bags, etc can be stowed in the D-spar. Doing so will give the ATOS only a
slightly rear-heavy static balance. However, it should be noted that this will change the trimming
speed (see also chapters 5 and 6.4).
4 Disassembly
In principle, dismantling is carried out in the reverse order of assembly.
Important! It is essential to unhook the control cables from the downtubes before de-tensioning
the sail. Since the sail slides outward when you de-tension, the cables will tear the sail!
1.)
Remove the nose cone.
2.)
Unhook the control cables from the downtubes.
3.)
Unzip the bottom surface of the sail.
4.)
Unzip the upper surface of the sail and remove the tail bag.
5.)
Remove the two pieces of the tail wing and place them in the tail bag along with the nose cone.
6.)
Disconnect the flap pivot pins from the flaps nect to the keel .
7.)
Loosen the sail tension lever on the keel, then unhook the sail ring .
8.)
Disconnect the sail tension rope from the cleat and slowly release the sail tension .
9.)
Separate the sail velcro from the winglet ,
10.) Unhook the 3 outermost ribs, fold in the last rib on the carbon fiber spar.
Open the Velcro on the rear edge only as far as necessary and fold rib 8 (outermost rib on the
spar) through the next inner one on the spar. Lay the ribs against the spar. Do not lay the
glider on the ribs when it is folded up.
11.) Loosen the wingtip tension rod and place it in the sail parallel to the trailing edge .
12.) Slide the carbon shells onto the D-spar .
13.) Detach the winglet from the outer aluminum wing insert .
14.) Remove the wing outer tube. Check again whether the carbon shell is completely on the spar
or it may be damaged during packing.
15.) Fold the sail with ribs against the D-spar so that the flap is on the underside of
the D-spar. Attach Velcro straps .
16.) Be careful not to bend the spoiler!
Best practice is to first fold over the outer segment of the inner spoiler so that the white
sides of the spoiler come together. Then place the outer spoiler on top of the inner one .
