3.15. Attach the strut safety wires (left and right) to the base tube. Tighten the nut and secure
with a safety ring (fig. 15). Attach the control frame corner protection cover with Velcro.
3.16. Attach the rescue system bridle to the wing, passing it through the corresponding hole in
the sail and all the way through the rescue bridle palm on the top surface of the wing. Pass the
rescue system bridle through the keel pocket palms. Note that on all wings manufactured
before 2020 there were no rescue bridle palms.
3.17. Wheel the trike behind the wing, rolling the front wheel over the control bar. Check that
the ignition switch and the key are in off position. Tilt the main pylon of the trike down (fig. 16).
3.18. Connect the trike pylon to the wing hang bracket (fig. 17). Insert the heart bolt, tighten the
nut firmly and secure with a safety ring. Attach the back up loop, making u-turn around the keel
tube. Connect the rescue system bridle.
3.19. Lift the nose of the wing to allow for the front wheel to be rolled rearward over the control
frame so that the base tube is in front of the cockpit and the rear of the keel tube rests on the
pylon. Make sure the protection pad on the main upper pylon is in proper position and protects
the pylon against bottom rear wires.
