The illustrated dimensions do not account for knots,
or loops attaching to the spars.
(shown: knot-edge to knot-edge)
However, below is a detailed bridle line cutting guide.
Following this when cutting the bridle will ensure correct lengths and includes allowances for all knots & loops.
Just cut, mark and assemble!

Always flange the line-end with a flame first.
Mark the line for each with a fine tipped crayon. These will become the dead center for knots and flange-stop for each end.

Leading Edges

O-ring stoppers marked as * should be glued in place prior to spar installation.

3g wing tip weight should be compressed to size using pliers,
take the necessary precautions when handling lead.

Ferrules should be glued in with slow setting CA type glue.

Middle Leading Edge ferrules should be Structil 6mm, but any 6mm carbon tube is appropriate.
Spine

* Upper and Lower O-rings should be glued in place prior to spar installation.

Note: Brass weighting should protrude by 5mm for Nock installation.

Ferrule & nose insert should be glued in with slow setting CA type glue.


Nose insert tubing can be any 6mm diameter carbon tube.
Spreaders

* Glue O-ring in place. This wil stop the ferrule from sliding.

Ferrule should be loose, but it's advisable to use a spot of glue against the O-ring on one side
to keep it stuck to one Spreader and prevent loss of the ferrule in the field.

Filing a bevel on the ends of the Upper Spreader will aid insertion into the sockets.


Before installing the Lower Spreader fittings, lubricate the spar with some soapy water.
Other Frame Parts

If you use 2mm carbon for Roll Bars, be sure to purchase high quality rod (Exel) that's flexible and won't splinter when bowed.

However, other materials such as fibreglass rod can be used.
