Rope and/or. Belt connections on Wing tip edge and ribs

The tension should be to small with the structure (z. B. Fold in the sail within this range), then

those know linen wing tip edge and/or. the Klettverbindungen at the ribs to be placed behind

accordingly. This can be necessary before everything after the first flying hours.

Should with the up and/or. Dismantling a damaged rope coat or belt to be determined, then

absolutely the rope must and/or. Belt to be exchanged. Special control requires the attachment at

rib No. 6 (rib with spoiler lever) and the wing tip edge.

The Klettverbindung, with which the rib tension adjusters are fastened, diminishes after frequent

adjusting in its Haftkraft and must be exchanged. This connection is suitable compared with the

Klett at the sail rear edge only for few openings.

• Rope connection sail/Kiel

The belts, which connect sails and Kiel, must be taut in the developed condition. If this is not the

case, then the wing in the flight has less sweep. The flight characteristics and flight safety one

affects thereby negatively. The tension can be affected by change by humidity or temperature.

It should be stated that the tension changed in the belt, is recommended it to control the sweep-

angle. For this a line at the rib tension adjuster of the outermost rib from one becomes to the

other side strained. If one keeps the keel horizontal, then the line should lie over the marking

attached at the keel pipe (hole to the Kielobersite). If the distance is more largely than 15mm

forward and 25mm to the rear, then the belts must be placed behind.

• Rope connection at the flap

The line is particularly exposed to pin strong mechanical loads at the binding to the Quick. Here

and in every other place the coat may not show wear.

Control: Approx. all 10 flying hours.

• Resetting rubber of the flap

If the flap should not reset up to the notice at the keel pipe, then the resetting rubber must be

exchanged.

Another cause for this can however also be that inadvertently the mushroom catch between flap

bag and Untersegel was solved and the Untersegel is angeklettet also too much tension. If by

loose Ankletten no remedy is to be created, additionally the rubber at the front keel end can be

placed behind.

• Sail

At the sail should be examined after stronger use all seams , eyes and belts. The zipper must be

able to be closed low-friction. For a long durability are above all dry storing and a small UV load

of advantage.

The belts, with which the sail is fastened to the keel, must be taut; if necessary place behind!

6. Storage

With the storage it is, as also in the case of transport to make certain that the cross-beam rests

upon laminar. The Atos should be supported thereby in two places at least. It should be as freely

as possible stored and z. B. not directly on the soil to be put condensation to form here there can,

which leads to damp stains in the sail and to corrosion of the metal parts. For the drying process

of wet equipment it is not sufficient to open only the zipper. For this the packsack must be

removed and the sail be unfolded.
