secure the lock of the bottom front wires.
Along the left leading edge
- Carefully check the entire length of the leading edge pocket to insure that the
Mylar insert is lying flat in the pocket. If any section of the Mylar is folded under,
de-tension the crossbar, remove the batten closest to the area of distortion, and
unfold the Mylar.
- Open the crossbar junction access zipper and look inside, making sure that side
wires are properly secured to the crossbar, that the thimbles are not cocked on
the tang. Check the splint pin and the nut, which secures the leading edge –
crossbar junction. Check that the sail is not caught on the crossbar end, or on
any of the hardware. Check the mountings of the strut, the fittings of the Dive-
stick and the cross batten
- Remember to close the access zipper.
At the left wingtip:
- Check the fastening of the sail. Look into the sail at wing tip, and check that the
tip batten is properly seated and fixed.
- Check that the washout tip is properly secured in position supporting the batten,
and that the washout tip access zipper is properly closed
