ASSEMBLY FROM SHORT PACK TO FULL LENGTH
You may have received your glider “short packed”. This is when the outer leading edges
have been removed and packed in with the rest of the glider so the packed length is
shorter. Normally your Malibu will have been assembled to full length by your dealer. If
your glider is already full length, skip this section and go to the Set-Up Procedures
section.
All references to “top”, “bottom”, “left” and “right” are referred to in flying mode.

1. Unzip the glider bag and roll the glider so that the top is
up. Undo the straps and extend the sail.
2. Open the wings about 40 degrees
3. The rear leading edge tubes will be packed in the box with the glider. Locate
them and remove the packaging.
4. On the glider, inside the leading edge pocket, remove the packaging from the
end of the front leading edges.
5. On the rear leading edge tubes, identify the right and left sides by laying the
leading edge on the ground in the approximate place along the wing where it will
go. Fit the dive strut in its socket. The dive strut should be at the rear and
pointing towards the keel. Now note the position of the plastic grey hook on the
leading edge, it should be towards the bottom of the tube. If not, that leading
edge belongs on the other side.
