12.  Carefully  slide  the  lower  sail  battens  in  their  pockets  and  secure  them  within  the  triangular 

openings. 

13.  Place the two straight carbon battens of the wing tips on the plastic lug attached to the tube of the 

leading edge, and tighten the upper surface with the clasps. 

14.  Mount the wing tip fins by introducing them between the upper surface and the lower surface, as 

well as between the straight  carbon batten and the upper surface fabric. Push upwards the 3 Dart 
locking pins to ease the positioning of the tip fins, then return them to their slots and secure them 
by  turning  clockwise.  (Figure  5-3).  Tighten  the  under  surface  of  the  wing  tip  by  means  of  its 
bungee that should encircle the clasp of the upper surface (Figure 5-3).

15.  Close the two zippers of the neoprene central link. Insert the trailing edge tensioning batten in the 

nylon slots at the ends of the two central battens by pulling back (Figure 5-4). 

16.  When connecting the trike, slip the security fastening cable behind the kingpost, then through the 

loop in the security strap aligned with the front of the kingpost, behind the kingpost again, and then 
fix  it  to  the  beam  of  the  trike.  The  security  cable  should  pass  under  the  tensioning  cables  and 
between  the  fine  cord  of  the  CORSET  and  the  keel.  This  operation  secures  the  trike  as  well  as 
fastening the crossbar tensioning system. 

17.  Attach the fairings to the kingpost and the struts of the A-frame. Firmly press the trailing edge of 

the  fairings  all  along  with  the  palm  of  two  hands  during  assembly.  Repeat  the  operation  while 
pinching the trailing edge with the fingers. Figure 5-5 & Figure 5-6.

For  the  final  stage  of  lifting  the  wing  on  the  trike,  follow  the  instructions  in  the  trike 
operating handbook.
