below the end of the polyamide rods.

5. Fold the rest of the wing in from the tips on each side using the same concertina procedure
and then fold one side half lengthwise on top of the other.
6. Fold the wing up from the trailing edge into 2 or 3 folds, removing excess air and making
sure that the packed leading edge is kept flat and outermost. DO NOT fold the leading edge
back inside the wing. This may damage / distort the polyamide rods.
7. For Packing bag - Undo the clip holding the leading edge in place and secure around the
folded glider. Close the bag with the side clip and top drawstring.
Storage

Avoid packing your glider when it is wet. If there is no other way, then dry it as soon
as possible away from direct sunlight and heat. Be careful to avoid storing your
canopy when damp or wet: this is the most common reason for canopy degradation.
