17. 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 to the outboard portion of the sail
.
NOTE
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 tight so as to induce creases in the Mylar or leading edge
sail material.
Working from the trailing edge, roll the sail tightly to the leading edge and install the wing tip cover bag.
Secure the sail with Velcro ties.
18. Stow the battens in the batten bag and staff them in the front part of the wing between Mylar pockets.
19. Install the Velcro ties around the sail and stow the nosecone under the most forward Velcro.

frame protective bags. Lay the control frame down

cables and lay them along the control frame.

9. WING TUNING
Properly tuned, the wing is safe, comfortable and fun to fly. The wing has been tested and tuned by the
manufacture or your dealer. However, in case you have enough experience, you may tune the wing by
yourself, as written below, if necessary. There are a number of adjustments that affect the flight
characteristics.
