Use Template:Warning instead of copy-pasted <div> for ease of maintenance.
''Maintenance information is in the Equipment officer’s guide.''
{{Warning|The ultimate reference is the current version of the flight manual which takes precedence over anything written in this guide. This guide is not meant to be a substitute for the flight manual. The flight manual is kept in the CU folder in one of the cupboards in the workshop.</div>}}
Rigging CU is quite easy and two people who know what they are doing can rig in 20 minutes. However, ASW19s are at heightened risk of rigging related accidents due to disconnected controls, so make sure you have rigged correctly.
# Remove the tailplane and avoid scratching the glider with it
# Lower the tailplane onto the fin and then push backwards to lock in place
# Use the metal wire to pull back the small metal loop on the top of the tail plane, place the bolt into the tailplane a do up with the allen key. <div style="color: darkred; font-weight: bold; background-color: lightpink; padding: .5em 1em; border-left: .5em solid darkred;">{{Warning|Note that the metal loop is very fragile. If it gets damaged it will need cutting out of the tailplane, which is very expensive.</div>}}
# Tighten the bolt as far as it will go and then loosen one notch, the metal loop will fit into one of the cuts in the bolt.
== Connect the controls ==
# Remove wing guards from each wing, careful not to bash the point where the aileron connectors are.
== Install Vertica (optional) ==
# Vertia flight computer is kept in the CUGC box below the parachute room

During daily inspections make sure that you check the condition of the glider’s skid. If the bottom foot is worn, the glider is U/S and skid needs replacing. Please see a picture of new skid for reference.
