7.3.12 Sail

After 20 flight hours on the sail, all seams, eyelets and straps must be checked. The zipper must be

easy to close. For a long life, dry storage and low UV exposure are especially important. The straps

with which the sail is attached to the keel must be tight; adjust if necessary! (see chapter 7.3.9) No

harsh detergents should be used to clean the sail. It is best to use only water without pressure. Any

mechanical impact leads to faster aging. Do not clean in the washing machine or rub hard with a

cloth.

7.3.13 Elevator Adjustment Mechanism (optional)

The ATOS-VRS LIGHT is optionally equipped with an adjustable tailplane, which is controlled via a

cable. This must be checked for damage in the area of the exit opening from the keel tube before

each take-off. In case of heavy wear (torn sheathing) the rope must be replaced.

In addition, stretching the rope and tying the knots can affect the tail plane. The following settings

must therefore be checked before each flight:

1. Flap rope loose: The trailing edge of the landing flap must be 27mm below the keel tube. This

flap position is defined as 0° flap position.

2. If the flap cable is pulled further to the take-off position (the transition between the return

bungee and the flap cable is at the keel outlet opening), the tail unit must be fully deflected.

Flap position about 10°.

The slide that controls the tail unit is mounted on the top of the keel by means of a guide roller. This

can be seen through the opening on the top of the lower half of the tailplane bracket and must be

checked every 50 hours. If the lateral cheeks show heavy wear, the roller must be replaced.

8 Storage

During storage, as well as during transport, care must be taken to ensure that the spar lies flat. The

wing should be supported in at least two places. It should be stored in an area open to the air and

not placed directly on the ground where condensation can form, which can result in mildew stains

on the sail and corrosion on metal parts. To dry a wet glider the glider bag must be removed and

the wings spread out, simply opening the zipper is not enough.

UV light shortens the life of the sail, but even the fiber composite materials of the spar, ribs, spoilers

and flaps can also be affected. For this reason, only expose the ATOS-VRS LIGHT to direct

sunlight for as long as necessary.

Hanggliding takes place in nature. Caring for nature should therefore be of interest to every pilot.

Take-off and landing areas must be kept clean. It is also important to avoid disturbing animals.

The ATOS-VRS LIGHT essentially consists of the load-bearing CFRP structure, the sail and metal

tubes and fittings. All these parts require professional disposal. Unwanted ATOS-VRS LIGHT gliders

can be given to AIR. They are disassembled and professionally disposed of.
