Description 

Snap-Fly Links 

Two  locking  connecting  links  to  mount  the  Galeo S  unit  to  the  Flying 

Frame or to the next Galeo S unit above 

Front Links 

Counter piece to the Snap-Fly links [A]; Connected to the Flying Frame 

from above in stacked application 

Center Link 

For rear connection to the next lower  Galeo S unit or for connection to 

the perforated rail of the Flying Frame in stacked application; Is extend-

ed to the maximum length in the transport position and is getting locked 

to the desired length when in use 

Auto-Locking Hook 

Two  hooks  that  latch  alternately  in  to  the  Center  Link  [C]  to  take  the 

load in a curved array 

Indexed Center Rails 

Perforated rail with 16 holes for the Stop Pin [F] to pre-select the splay 

angle  between  0°  and  15°  in  one  degree  steps.  For  a  16°  angle,  the 

Stop Pin [F] is not inserted. Additional hole at the top of the rail is for the 

Link Pin [G] 

Stop Pin 

Stop ball-lock pin 6x20 mm with T-handle; Pin is  inserted in the lowest 

hole of the perforated rail [E] for transport; Is being plugged (without any 

load  on  it)  in  the  position  of  the  desired  splay  angle  to  the  next  lower 

Galeo S unit 

Link Pin 

Link  ball-lock  pin  6x20 mm  with  T-handle;  Pin  is  inserted  in  the  upper-

most hole of the perforated rail [E]; For connection to the Center Link of 

the Galeo S unit above respectively to a Flying Frame
