TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND OPERATING LIMITATIONS
WARNING
THE Combat 12T IS DESIGNED FOR FLYING WITH A NANOLIGHT TRIKE ONLY.
The Combat 12T wing has been designed especially for nanolight trikes, using a Combat 12 hang
glider as a base.
Flight operation of the Combat 12Tshould be limited to non-aerobatic maneuvers; those in which the pitch
angle will not exceed 30 degrees nose up or nose down from the horizon and bank angle will not exceed
60 degrees.
* Airspeed measured with Aeros
ANT nanolight trike.
** Valid for the wings,
manufactured after January 1
st
2014.
Aeros recommends that no attempt should ever be made to deliberately spin this wing.
The stability, controllability, and structural strength of a properly maintained Combat 12T has been
determined to be adequate for safe operation when the wing is operated within the entire manufacturer
specified limitations.
No warranty of adequate stability, controllability, or structural strength is made or implied for operation
outside of these limitations.
Operating the Combat 12T outside of the above limitations may result in injury and death.
Flying a nanolight trike with the Combat 12T wing in strong or gusty winds or turbulence may result in loss
of control of the wing, which may lead to injury and death.
Do not fly in such conditions unless you realize and wish to personally accept the associated risks.
Combat 12T REASSEMBLY AFTER SHIPPING PROCEDURE
1. With the wing in the bag (4 meters long) lay the wing on the ground.
2. Unzip the bag. Undo the Velcro straps. Remove the batten bag, the control bar and the outer leading
edge tubes # 3 from the bag.
3. Unfold the sail along the leading edge to its full length. Attach the outer leading edge tubes # 3 to the
front leading edge tubes # 2 according to the markings (L-left, R-right marks must be on top).
Working on one wing at a time and working with the appropriate leading edge # 3, fold the outer sprog,
which is attached to the outer leading edge, towards the inboard end of the leading tube # 3. Slide the
inboard end of the leading edge tube # 3 into the sail.
Then slide the outer leading edge forward, allowing the sprog end to come outside the sail at the
corresponding hole, and slide the rear leading edge into the inner leading edge.
Align the outer leading edge properly so that the sprog is on the inside of the leading edge, and slide the
outer leading edge forward, rotating as necessary, until the button spring in the outer leading edge
engages securely into the holes in the front leading edge. When the outer leading edge is fully engaged,
you will not be able to rotate it.
