Assembling from Shipping Crate
This procedure is to be followed if the wing arrives in a short packed configuration. An
approved dealer is responsible for assembly from the short packed configuration. The
short packed wing has had the rear leading edges removed to reduce the packed size for
transport.
The correct reassembly of the wing is critical for safety and performance of the wing. If
there are any doubts about the correct procedure for assembly after shipping contact Air
Creation factory.

Reassembly Guide
1. Remove wing from box. Take care that no staple damages the bag or the sail during this operation.
2. Unzip
bag
3. Remove all wing straps. Remove padding from control bar and rear leading edges.
4. Unfold the ends of the sail
5. Assemble the control bar on the revolving base fixed to the left A-frame strut
with the 6mm CHC
bolt, washers, thread locker and Nylstop nut and on the right with the push pin. Close the leather
protections.
6. Rotate the wing so that it is lying flat on the ground
7. Spread both leading edges approximately ½ meter. Remove the tip covers, which have been used
as protection on the rear of the front leading edges.
8. Insert rear leading edges in the tips opening of the sail with the plastic lugs at the rear of the tubes
positioned horizontally and to the inside. Finish sliding the rear leading edges in the front part.
Turn slightly and push in order to line up the half-hole and the horizontal bolt connecting the
crossbars on the front part of the leading edge. Make sure that the plastic lugs at the rear of the
tubes are face-to-face. Once installed the rear leading edge slot should be located on the channel
horizontal bolt. it should be impossible to rotate the leading edge, if correctly assembled.

9. Remove the self-tapping
screws B 199010
(Refer to drawing
OP10-24CA
) which hold the sail
on the leading edge at the nose of the wing. This way, the sail will move back easily. Thread a
piece of string through the eyelets on the sail at the nose and tie it to the nose plates. You will have
to replace the nose screws using this string once the wing is fully open and tensioned. (See Figure
3-1.)
10. Attach the sail to the sleeves with the 4
screws FHC 6-70 (B167210).
Make sure that the
aluminum guide retainer, which adjusts the tension, is facing the slot of the sleeve, at the tip of the
leading edge.
