slows the wing down by 5 kph and speeds it up by 5 kph for a 2.5 mm rotation
downwards (towards -). The usable speed range adjustment is limited to +5 and -2.5 mm.
Beyond these limits, performance and stability of the wing may be affected and unsightly
wrinkles may appear on the fabric of the wing tip.
Tension of the Sail
The tension of the sail at the end of the edges may be modified to counteract the effects
of aging on the sail, and improve its performance. This action is not to be considered
before a minimum of 300 hours of flight.
To make this adjustment, remove the tip fins, battens and the protective cap of the wing
tip and rotate the screw at the end of the sleeve with a 10mm wrench. Replace the cap
and tip fins, then adjust the tension of the sail on the last straight batten of the wing tip
due to changes in the position of the sail on the leading edge tubes (the same value of
increase in the length of the batten as the increase in tension on the leading edge).
Tighten up to a maximum of 5 turns (5 mm) and check by test flight. The cruising speeds
CORSET relaxed or tense will be increased by about 3 kph for 5 mm of additional
tension but handling in roll will be slightly reduced. The maximum allowed is 20 turns
(20 mm) of total tension. The standard factory set tension of the new wing is 10 turns (10
mm). The minimum allowed is 5 turns (5mm) of total tension.
Tension of the crossbar cables
The tension of the crossbar tensioning cables may be modified to counteract the effects of
aging on the sail, and improve its performance. This action is not to be considered before
a minimum of 300 hours of flight. To do this, just move the screw that positions the
tensioning swan catch back one hole on the rail at the end of the keel
The cruising speeds CORSET relaxed or tense will not change, but handling in roll will
be slightly reduced, while aerodynamic performance will be improved.
Hang point position
As the CORSET is standard on the BioniX², moving the hang point to a different position
than the middle (intermediate between the foremost and rearmost) is not necessary under
normal use. However, for special use at speeds slower than those obtained in the center
position, moving the hang point back to the rearmost provides a reduction of about 8 kph
hands-off cruising speed. Moving to the position further is not recommended except in
cases of excessive slowdown due to aging of the sail.
The CORSET
The CORSET has been preset at the factory. However, it is possible for a slight loosening
of the fine cord to occur over time. This tension is adjusted as follows: detach the central
batten of the upper surface, open the zippers of the central neoprene junction of the
trailing edge up to the kingpost, and tighten the CORSET to the maximum using the
lever. Measure the axel spread between the two central nose battens at the point of
screw

securing the guides of the central batten of the trailing edge. A precise
measurement of
455 mm
should be obtained,
Corset fully tensed
. Adjust the position of
the knot to obtain precisely these 455 mm, then close the two zippers of the central
neoprene junction of the upper surface and reinsert the central batten of the trailing edge.
