Empty the glider from all debris such as leaves, twigs, grass, sand etc.

 

>

Sort out your lines and spread them evenly on the glider. 

 

>

Make sure the glider is dry when storing it for a longer period of time.

 

>

 Fold the glider starting in the middle and working your way to the outside always

folding 2 cells, so that the leading edge is folded cleanly.
 Fold the cells, starting from the second cell from the middle, so that the reinforced 

 

>

edges of the cell openings are on top of each other.
Do the same at the lower long-edge of the glider.

 

>

 This folding method is best done together with a friend, but you should be able to 

 

>

do the same on your own after some practice.
 Then press the air out of the folded glider starting at the bottom and working your 

 

>

way to the top.
Fold the whole row once toward the middle.

 

>

 Do exactly the same on the other side. Then fold one half onto the other half and 

 

>

make sure the leading edge are folded cleanly.
 Start wrapping up the glider from its lower end. The wraps should be approx. 1ft. 

 

>

wide.
 The leading edge can be folded inwards once, but is not necessary. The left over air 

 

>

should be pressed out of the glider and not through the material (this can increase 
the porosity of your glider).
 Now attach the compression band around the packed wing, at right angles to the 

 

>

cell openings, then slide the glider into the light nylon bag. This helps to protect the 
cloth from being damaged by sharp edges or zippers from your harness.
 Open the bagpack and place your glider on the inside edge. The soft wing on your 

 

>

back will make transportation much more comfortable.

Place the harness with the seat board facing up on top of your glider and close
the zippers. Put the rest of your equipment (helmet, overall, instruments etc.) under the 
hood of your Packsack.
