3.5.13 Trim
There is a trim speed control device on all the iXess wings. The trim control is achieved
by a pulley system, which raises the reflex bridles. Raising the bridles causes the root
airfoil of the wing to be reflexed. The reflexed section causes the centre of pressure of the
airfoil to move forward resulting in a reduction in trim speed.
3.5.14 Sail
The sail comprises the lifting surface of the wing. It is mainly constructed of UV
protected Trilam and Dacron polyester fabric, with some ABS and Mylar material
making up the leading edge areas. The sail is constructed from many individual panels,
which are sewn together using polyester thread to form the required shape. The sail has
attachment points sewn into it to attach to the frame at various points and to hold the
battens in place. The sail also provides zippers that facilitate easy preflight inspection of
all the members inside the double surface wing.
3.5.15 Special purpose equipment
Training Bars
The training bars are attached to the control bar and uprights in order to extend the
possibility to fly the aircraft from the back seat. They are supplied as an option for use by
qualified flight instructors.
