A NOTE ABOUT CABLES AND CABLE MAINTENANCE
The cables which support the wing’s airframe are critical components of the wing’s structure, and must be
maintained in an airworthy condition. It is a general practice in the design of aircraft structures to design
to an ultimate strength of 1.5 times the highest expected load in normal service.
The wing’s cables, like other structural components on the wing, are typically designed with a structural
safety factor of only about 50% above the expected maximum load. No significant loss in cable strength
can be tolerated.
A cable with even a single broken strand must be replaced before the wing is flown again. A cable which
has been bent sharply enough to have taken a permanent set must also be replaced immediately.
IN CLOSING - A FEW FINAL WORDS ON YOUR SAFETY
- Flying nanolight trikes is a grate fun but it is, as any form of flying, associated with risks. Your safety can
be greatly enhanced by following a few simple rules:
- Your wing is delivered to you ready to fly. Do not make any adjustments, which are not described in this
manual.
- If you are in doubt about any aspect of your wing, you should consult your dealer or Aeros for advice.
- Fly a wing suited to your level of ability. A new risk may arise when you first fly a new type of the wing.
- The reactions of your new wing may well differ from those of the wing you where used to. In order to
keep this risk low, we recommend that you gradually become familiar with your new wing.
- Before every take-off always do both an assembly check and a pre-flight check of your wing and a trike
unit.
- Do not take off if the sail is wet, especially the leading edge, as the stall speed will increase significantly.
- Always fly with a dry sail!
- A wet wing must be dried before storing. Do not leave your wing wet for more than one day because
corrosion may result.
- Don’t push your luck; it is your responsibility to know the limits of your wing and the limits of your own
experience. Remember that ultimately your safety is your responsibility.
- Fly only in places that are suitable for flying.
- With proper care and maintenance, your wing will retain a high level of airworthiness for many years.
Have fun. Fly safely.
