Maintenance
The quickest way to remove the old lines is to cut them off. However, don’t cut the old lines off if you have not
received the new ones or you may end up not being able to fly! Sometimes only a part lineset is needed (eg excluding
top lines or brakes) so take care not to cut any lines that need to be retained.
Correct alignment of lines
It is important that the lines are mounted the correct way up.
Sheathed lines have no additional reinforcing. They can be mounted
either way up
Yellow thread marks the
reinforced end of a microline
White thread marks the
non-reinforced end of a microline.
Unsheathed lines have an internal reinforcement at one end, marked with a yellow thread. This is the line junction
end. The non-reinforced end is marked with a white thread and must be attached to the glider attachment point or
maillon.
Alignment of attachment points
Lines should be placed symmetrically on the tab, except where the tab is inclined. The A tabs are inclined backwards
on all BGD gliders to align it with the direction of pull of the line. So when assembling the lines, the A tab should be
angled back, and the B, C and D tabs should be perpendicular to the undersurface of the wing.
