How to Adjust the Eccentric Rings
The mid section ring can be adjusted freely with no consequence to safety of the glider.
Do not rotate these rings beyond the existing pre-drilled holes, as more rotation is
unnecessary and will not provide any advantage.
All references to adjustments are made relative to the centre location. On the mid
section rings, the centre location is the point where the marker screw aligns with the
horizontal stopper screw. On the fibreglass exit ring, the centre location is the point at
which the small pen mark on the back section aligns with the pen mark on the ring.
The Litesport has been produced with several adjustment holes already drilled into the
plastic rings. These pre-drilled holes allow for adjustments forward and backward from
the centre location. Your Litesport may have been slightly adjusted after being test flown.
To adjust the eccentric rings, it is best to remove the mid section and back section
leading edge. Before attempting this, it is best to consult the relevant assembly drawing
in this manual.
Remove the sail retaining clevis pin at the back section end, and the 3/16 pin (or
possibly bolt), which acts as a stopper for the back section and secures the mid section.
There is a small screw which locates the mid section eccentric ring, this will also need to
be removed. Once this is completed, the mid section and back section can be removed
through the sail inspection zipper.
After the mid section and back section have been removed, you can take a close look at
your current set up and assess what adjustments are desired. There is no optimal set
up; it simply comes down to personal choice.
If you find too much high siding is required, you can rotate the mid section rings as many
as two holes backward. It is best to make small adjustments, as the eccentric rings are
very sensitive.
Set Up Suggestions
For pleasant thermalling, a good combination is to have the mid section rings one hole
backward (outboards angled slightly upwards) and the fibreglass exit rings in the centre
location. Some gliders leave the factory with this set up, so this may be your starting
point.
