Insert the right wing first and tape at least the top joint. Then insert the left wing. Here is the trick. Open the canopy as the wing goes in you can easily see the alignment of the two spars and most importantly the relationship of the spigot to the hole in the right wing root. So now it is easy to get the alignment just right. If you do what it says in the manual and insert the left wing first, you can't see where the alignment problem lies. Also I suggest the flaps be in 0 and the spoiler handle in the middle. Always confirm the water dump is closed. If the dump is open, you will never get the wings on. Finally, speaking of water, if you have an issue with leaking dump valves, use the wax sold in hardware stores for sealing toilets.

Hi



I fly a older Ventus and my glider wings are difficult to slide tight to the glider for pinning.



I have a 1 pin set up and start with my left wing. I keep my brakes open and flap in 3.



I can line up the inserted arm fine and line up the controls but, once I get to a couple inches it bogs down and is quite a workout for my wing man and me.



Any tips or suggestions on making this easier? I notice that even on the same glider type and model they can vary on ease of assembly.
