Attach the control lines
Find the control lines and
tie it to one of the key rings of the low wingtips. When fasten the control line
use a bowline knot. Place a D-ring 25 cm. from the key ring. Then 55 cm. from
here place the next D-ring and at last 26 cm. to the top key ring in the middle
of each wing half. Do this for both halves (see the picture below for more
detailed information).
Next take a small piece of steering line and fasten it
to the middle rivet. This piece of line must be 8 cm. (see the picture). The 2
vertical steering lines start with a bowline knot in the key ring on the side.
From here take 42 cm. and fasten to the top D-ring, continue with 53 cm. and
fasten to the 8 cm. hanging from the middle. Then do the same for the other
side.

You have now reached the point where the only thing you need is to fit the
sticks.
Each of the two 165 cm. carbon-fiber sticks should be divided in to
two pieces; one piece should be 78.5 cm. and then the rest (86.5 cm.). The
horizontal sticks are 78.5 cm. The vertical consists of 2 sticks of 86.5 cm.
witch each is joined with an aluminum tube in the middle.
