5.14. 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 (fig.30).
Pass the rescue system bridle through the keel pocket palms (fig. 31, the wing is shown with all
battens inserted). Note that on all wings manufactured before 2020 there were no rescue bridle
palms.

5.15. 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. 32).
5.16. Connect the trike pylon to the wing hang bracket (fig. 33). 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.
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.

5.17. Remove the wingtip protection bags.
Remove battens from the batten bag and check
each batten for symmetry against the corresponding batten from the other wing. Align battens
at their front tips, and at about the 60% of the chord point. There should be no deviation of
more than 3mm (1/8’’) from one batten to the other along the full length of battens.
