8. Fold the wings all the way in to the keel pulling the
sail over the
top of the leading edges. At each wingtip, remove the tip
cover bag. At this time you should be able to dismount the
front ends of the root battens from the keel tube. Install the
protective pad and sock over the rear wire junction pin and
the rear end of the keel.
9. Fold the sprogs against the leading edge towards the
tip. Make sure the sprog zippers are fully open.
10. Pull the sail out away from the keel until it is even
on top and bottom. Roll the sail gently and carefully,
parallel to the trailing edge of the front and then outboard
portion of the sail.
Try to roll the sail in such a way that the leading edge
portion remains as smooth as possible. Do not attempt to
stuff the sail between the Mylar pocket and the leading
edge tube at any point where you feel resistance, and do
not attach the velcro ties so tight so as to induce creases in
the Mylar or leading edge sail material
(

.
11. Working from the trailing edge, roll the sail tightly to
the leading edge, and install the tip cover bags.
12. Secure the sail with the velcro sail ties. The first
velcro tie is installed by passing it over the top of the keel
tube just near the Crossbar-LE tube junctions, and then
installing it around the glider leading edges (
Fig.26)
.
13. Place the bag with battens on the nose section along the keel, put the nose cone under the front velcro ties.
Secure the sail with remaining sail ties.
14. Install the glider bag. Flip the glider over onto the ground. Detach the basebar and place it between the leading
edges in the bag provided. Place winglets next to the basebar.
15. Fold up the control bar and install the control bar
bag, lay it down against the keel. Undo the velcro, which
was done first, reach it out to free the keel tube and install
it again around both leading edges with the control bar
inside. Bring all wires forward along tubes and place
downtubes inside the folded sail (
Fig.27)
.
16. Zip up the glider bag.
The glider is ready for transportation.
