Assembling from Shipping Crate
This procedure is to be followed if the wing arrives in a short packed configuration. An
approved dealer is responsible for assembly from the short packed configuration. The
short packed wing has had the rear leading edges removed to reduce the packed size for
transport.
The correct reassembly of the wing is critical for safety and performance of the wing. If
there are any doubts about the correct procedure for assembly after shipping contact Air
Creation factory.
3.6.1
Reassembly Guide
1. Remove wing from box. Take care that no staple damages the bag or the sail during this operation.
2. Unzip bag
3. Remove all wing straps. Remove padding from control bar and rear leading edges.
4. Unfold the ends of the sail
5. Rotate the wing so that it is lying flat on the ground on the unfolded A-frame
6. Spread both leading edges approximately ½ meter.
7. Insert rear leading edges in the tip openings of the sail with the plastic lugs at the rear of the tubes
positioned horizontally and to the inside.
The two rear parts of the leading edges are not identical. A sticker on the tube indicates whether it is a
right (D) or left (G).
An inversion can have serious consequences because it modifies the tip angle resulting in
negative twisting of the tips and strong longitudinal instability.
8. Finish sliding the rear leading edges in the front part. Turn slightly and push in order to line up the
half-hole and the horizontal bolt connecting the crossbar on the front part of the leading edge.
Make sure that the plastic lugs at the rear of the tubes are face-to-face. Once installed the rear
leading edge slot should be located on the channel horizontal bolt. it should be impossible to rotate
the leading edge, if correctly assembled.
9. Remove the self-tapping
screws B 199010
(Refer to drawing
OP10-23CA
) which hold the sail on
the leading edge at the nose of the wing. This way, the sail will move back easily.

10. Attach the sail to the tip sleeves with 4
screws FHC 6-75-13 (B167510)
(Refer to drawing
OP10-
22VO
)
.
Note the indications “Right” & “Left” on the tubes. Make sure that the aluminum guide
that allows the setting of the sail’s tension is facing the slot in the sleeves, at the end of the leading
edge. To make things easier, use a screwdriver to line up the sail with the foremost drilling and
slide the screw in the back. Remove the screwdriver to insert the screw in the front. Figure 3-1 &
Figure 3-2. Apply the Threadlock glue to the nuts and tighten the Nylstop bolts.
