If your wing is wet from contact with water, place it in a dry area, air it
and keep it away from direct sunlight.
Direct sunlight may damage the wing’s materials and cause premature

properly and stow it away in its backpack.
If flying in a sandy environment, and sand has accumulated inside the
wing, remove it before packing it away. The apertures at the wingtips
