Info:
ADVANCE recommend packing and storing the OMEGA
XALPS 3 in a cell bag . The ADVANCE Tubebag (304 gms) is ve-
ry suitable .
Packing with the Tubebag
Packing in a sausage bag is good for the wing, and is easy to do . It
avoids undesirable sliding over the ground . Also the shape-retaining
storage in a Tubebag promotes long glider life .
Lay your wing, mushroomed as after landing, on the spread Tubebag .
Next spread the centre chord out to Tubebag length . Arrange the lines
and stow the risers on their tabs . Now gather the leading edge cells as
described in “General” above, except that all cells make up one pile –
no secondary folding into the centre . Then fasten the upper Tubebag
strap over the collected leading edge foils so that it holds them neat-
ly together . Follow the same basic process at the trailing edge . Pull the
centre lane straight then flatten and collect the outlying cells as already
described above . Do this gently: do not disturb your leading edge posi-
tions . Final close the Tubebag then fold the Tubebag as needed .
