CARING FOR YOUR TRICKSTER
Packing
To prolong the life of your wing and to keep the plastic reinforcements
in the best possible condition it is very important to pack the wing
carefully.
Ozone strongly recommends to use the concertina packing method
exactly as shown so that all of the cells rest alongside each other
and the plastic reinforcements are not unnecessarily bent. Using the
Ozone Saucisse pack will help preserve the life of the wing and aid
with the speed and ease of packing.
Step 1. Lay mushroomed
wing on the ground. It is
best to start from the
mushroomed position as
this reduces the dragging of
the leading edge across the
ground.
Step 2. Group LE reinforce-
ments with the A tabs
aligned, make sure the plastic
reinforcements lay side by
side.
Step 4. Group together the
centre of the wing.
Step 5. Carefully zip up the
saucisse pack without trapping
any material or lines.
Step 6. Make the first fold after the LE reinforcements. Do not
fold the plastic reinforcements, use 3 folds around the LE.
Step 3. Lay wing on its side
and Strap LE...Note the glider
is NOT folded in half; it is folded
with a complete concertina from
tip to tip. It is really important
to not stress the middle cell or
bend the plastic too tightly.
