11. Fix the front lower longitudinal cables in the rail under the nose plate with the help of the swan
catch tension lever and the pushpin.
12. Carefully slide the lower sail battens in their pockets and secure them within the triangular
openings.
13. Place the two straight battens of the wing tips on the plastic lug attached to the tube of the leading
edge, and tighten the upper surface with the clasps.
14. Close the two zippers of the neoprene central link. Insert the trailing edge tensioning batten in the
nylon slots at the ends of the two central battens by pulling back.
15. When connecting the trike, slip the security fastening cable behind the kingpost, then through the
loop in the security strap aligned with the front of the kingpost, behind the kingpost again, and then
fix it to the beam of the trike. The security cable should pass under the tensioning cables and
between the fine cord of the CORSET and the keel. This operation secures the trike as well as
fastening the crossbar tensioning system.
16. Assemble the nose cone by means of the Velcro strips (see 5.3.1).
For the final stage of lifting the wing on the trike, follow the instructions in the trike
operating handbook.
5.1.2
Disassembly
Dismantling is carried out in reverse order of the assembling operations. The CORSET
must imperatively be loose (set in the “slow” position) before dismantling.
Before setting the wing flat on the ground,
insert the protective padding on the
keel over the hang point bracket and on the right A-frame strut over the guides of the fine
cord of the CORSET in order to avoid damaging the sail with these jutting parts.
Before folding up the two half-wings
,
place the leather cap on the tensioning
device lever and slip it inside the sail
at the front of the kingpost foot
to avoid tearing
any part of the sail or the frame while closing the leading edges.
Never release the tension of the wing without first removing the battens of the wing
tips which rest on the leading edges.

Preflight Check
The wing preflight check will be easier if made before lifting the wing above the trike. The
following is a brief summary of the minimum pre-flight inspection, which assumes that the
scheduled maintenance checks outlined in the maintenance manual has been performed. If you
are unsure, it does no harm to increase the number of items in your inspection in accordance with
the recommendations of the maintenance manual.
