8.10 Rigging a Folded Aircraft
The REMOS
GX iS is manufactured to the highest quality standards.
All components are very precise and provide the maximum
aerodynamic quality. It is therefore strongly recommended that you be
very careful when assembling or disassembling components such as
the wings, stabilizer and other parts. The following instructions will
provide you with all the necessary information.
NOTE
Folding or unfolding the wings and attaching or detaching
the horizontal tail is a two-person procedure. Do not to try
this alone.
Severe damage to the aircraft may result.
tools, equipment and preparation

ringing folded wings
1. Withdraw the main wing bolt from the wing and place it nearby.
Ensure that the bolt stays clean until remounted.
2. Remove the wing support aid bracket while a second person
supports the wing at the wing tip.
3. Now the second person at the wing tip moves the wing slowly
forward while ensuring that the wing does not spin around its
axis. The weight of the wing is supported by its strut, therefore,
the wing must never be lifted or pushed down from the top.
4. When the wing has reached its maximum forward position, the
person at the fuselage position must rotate the wing to align both
connection latches. Care must be taken that the surface of the
wing is not damaged by the fuselage connecting latches.
5. When the connecting latches between the fuselage and wing are
aligned, the wing must be lifted by the person at the wing tip.
The person at the fuselage must ensure that the flap drive
connection fits correctly into the bushing on the fuselage.
