The control bar front and back cables must be altered or replaced to so that the base tube is swung back 12-16 inches (30-40 cm.) from the prone position. On gliders with loose side wires the side cables need not be altered. On other gliders the side cables may be altered (usually slightly longer) or a longer base tube may be used.
