Instructions for use
5.1
Adapting Wings & Trikes
In our current production, the two-seater wings Fun 450, Kiss 450, iXess, NuviX may
equip l.s.t. SKYPPER trikes.
5.2
Assembling
1. Assemble the wing as indicated in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook of the wing, rest it on its nose
faced into the wind.
2. Wheel the trike behind the wing, in the keel axis, remove the windshield, pull the upper beam
down and take the front strut out.
3. Raise the upper beam, push the hang point into the hang bracket, position the Ø10 hang bolt,
install the butterfly nut, tilt the lever back in order to tighten the plates, and secure with the safety
ring.
4. Slip the backup fastening cable through the belt loop at the kingpost level, make one turn around
it. Slip it through the belt loop again and fasten it to the trike upper beam. The backup fastening
cable should pass under the tensioning cables and between the keel and the fine cord of the
CORSET for the NuviX wings. This operation secures both the trike to the wing and the wing
crossbar tensioning system.
5. Raise the wing nose by pulling the trike back or by slipping the control bar until the keel meets the
upper arch.
6. Attach the front strut between the plates at the top of the upper beam using the bolt, the butterfly
nut and the safety ring.
7. Hold the control bar and lift the wing. The front tube base is fixed to the frame at windshield level.
8. Set the safety bolt of the upper beam (above the passenger seat), screw the butterfly nuts, then slip
the safety rings into the drilling of the bolt.
9. Set the bolt connecting the front tube with the lower beam; screw the butterfly nut, and secure
with the split ring.
10. Assemble the windshield using the ¼ turn plastic screws.
11. To disassemble, reverse the assembly operations.

Setting & Function of Controls
5.3.1
Throttle
The primary throttle control is a foot throttle which is connected to the right foot pedal.
This is activated by pressing the foot pedal. There is also an additional hand throttle
which is located on the right side of the instrument panel. Both throttles work in the
conventional manner, i.e. forwards to increase power. An addition foot throttle may be
fitted for the rear seat occupant/instructor.
5.3.2
Ground steering
The nose wheel is steered by the foot pedals via cables. They work in the normal weight
shift aircraft manner – i.e. push right to go left.
Rear seat steering is also an option and operates in the same manner via a rear steering
bar and linking cables.
