19. Now your wing is ready to be mounted on
your trike (Fig 27).
Don’t forget to install the nosecone when you
mount the wing on the trike.
WARNING
DO NOT FLY WITHOUT THE NOSECONE!
6. PREFLIGHT PROCEDURE
Conduct a complete preflight inspection of the wing, checking all assemblies, which have not
already been checked. Every bolt, nut, pin, safety ring, and fastener of any kind should be
checked during every pre-flight. A full pre-flight inspection should precede every flight you make,
not just the first flight of the day.
Carefully check the entire length of the leading edge pocket to insure that the Mylar insert is
lying flat in the pocket. If any section of the Mylar is folded under, de-tension the crossbar,
remove as many battens as necessary and unfold the Mylar.
Along the left leading edge:
Check that the strut is properly secured, safety wire is engaged and the safety ring is installed
(Fig. 28).
Open the crossbar / leading edge junction access zipper and look inside, making sure that the
crossbar and the main sprog wire are properly secured (Fig. 29). Close the crossbar / leading
edge junction access zipper.
