The procedure below describes rigging the wings on your own. It is, however, easier
to have help to slide the wings on the spar, especially if the wind is strong. (Then
above all don’t get helped!)
11. Put a protection mat underneath the container.
Start by pushing the
right wing (Lower one)
by
the rib in order to release the last elevon hinge.
12. Pull out 2/3 of the wing. Take the wing by the
bottom surface at the balance point, one hand on
the leading edge, and the other on the trailing
edge. Take the wing right out of the container.
13. Put the wing tip on the ground so you can pivot it.
14. Put the wing tip on the ground so you can pivot it.
15. Put the tip on the protection mat and grab the
wing root.
16. Put yourself in front of the spar on the opposite
side of the wing and slide the wing onto the spar.
