Fusion Breakdown Procedure for Shipping, and Reassembly Procedure
The front leading edge is 60mm (2.36") oversleeved with 62mm (2.44") at the crossbar junction. The
rear leading edge is 50mm (1.97") oversleeved with 52mm (2.05") at the front end. There are two
fittings attached to the front end of the rear leading edge to provide the proper fit and orientation in the
front leading edge. The front fitting is slotted and engages in a clevis pin though the front leading edge.
To break down the leading edges follow these steps
1. Lay the glider on the ground or floor, unzip and remove the bag and remove the velcro ties. Undo
the velcros which hold the sail around the sail mount plug. Pull the sail rearward at each tip to
dismount the sail from the rear leading edge.
2. Unzip the sprog access zipper in the bottom surface and disconnect the sprog bungee from the
sprog rear end paddle.
3. Obtain an indelible marker. Mark the rear leading edges left and right (remember that left and right
are reversed if the glider is lying on its back, upside down).
4. Pull the rear leading edge straight aft to disengage it from the front. Slide it forward inside the sail
until you can fold the sprog past the internal sail ribs, then remove the whole assembly from the
from the sail. Be very careful not to damage the sail with the hardware attached to the rear leading
edge. Tape or pad the edges of the front end of the rear leading edge tubes, and the rear of the front
leading edge tubes to prevent sail damage during transit.
5. Remove the carbon sandwich transverse batten from the sail by opening the velcro closure at the
#3 batten end of the transverse batten pocket and sliding the transverse batten out towards the wing
tip. Note that the orientation of the transverse batten is flat side closest to the bottom surface.
Be careful handling the transverse batten - carbon fiber splinters can be very dangerous.
Wrap and pad the transverse batten for shipment.
6. Carefully fold the rear of the sail over against the front, and replace the bag on the glider.
