This is the best setup/breakdown video I have seen on RUclips. I would only add (at 13:24) to also make sure the spoileron bungees are disconnected before de-tensioning the glider. I learned that the hard way.
@nice2care that is a good point. The newer models however,, the flange where you hook the bungee is smaller if you don't unhook it it slides off on its own. I'll see if I can add that to a revised video
see the disclaimer at the start :09 "The VQ and VR/S They are very similar in setup / breakdown procedures. Most of the footage is of the VR, except for the specific VQ steps. (Tips and tipwands)"
Its all good. It was much less editing that way. Just changed the tip items that were different. I guess I could have added verbiage through out the vid.
One can only dream ! The Atos wings are magnificent! ( I speak as a former Exxtacy owner)
Ahh yes. You know first hand then how good the Atos is!

Very informative. Every step is very well detailed.
Thanks. Good hear. Should help new and current pilots. Keep up the great flying.
This is a VR, not a VQ Race
