FOIL ASSEMBLY POSITION “B”

1. 

Position fuselage so that the counter-sunk holes are facing 
DOWN. Determine which mast connection you want, based on 
the settings described in the Shift Fuse section of this guide. 
Orientate the fuselage appropriately. 

2.      Attach the pedestal to the mast with the two M8 X 40MM bolts, 

tightening each one bit by bit until both are tight.

3. 

Connect the fuselage to the front wing and mast cap. Insert 
the fuselage into the tail of the front wing. Align the three 
holes on the underside. Insert the one (1) M6 x 25mm set 
screw and tighten securely. Locate the front mast cap over the 
corresponding cutout in the top of the wing and tap cap into 
place. Tighten two (2) M8x23mm countersunk bolts in place. 

4. 

Connect rear wing to fuselage. As pictured in the diagram, align 
the rear shim to the back of the fuselage, then stack the rear 
wing (winglets pointing up) on top of the shim. The surfaces of 
the parts will align naturally when done properly. Use the two (2) 
M6x30mm screws and tighten securely. 

5. 

Attach the mast to the fuselage using the two (2) M8x50mm 
tapered bolts. Ensure the thinner edge of the mast is facing the 
back wing and the “Slingshot” branding reads top to bottom  
(the letter “t” will be closest to the fuselage). 

       

*Coat all bolt hardware with Lanolin oil or marine-grade grease and 
wrap with Teflon tape before assembling your foil. (see maintenance 
section for details)
