down. If experiencing this difficulty, move aileron to neutral by
hand before sliding wing home.
•
Finding the correct wing alignment during the final step of wing
extension can be tricky. It helps to position the hand holding
the wing tip handle on the extended center line of the wing
spar tunnel prior to rotating the wing to horizontal. Keep this
hand in this position in space during the rotation of wing to
horizontal and subsequent slide home.
•
The wing fold lock handle has three mechanical latch mecha-
nisms—one latch and two ball detents.
•
There are two switches on each wing for the wing lock handle
position annunciator logic.
•
There are two switches on each tail pin—one tip position indi-
cator and one lock handle position.
•
A three-pin locking design ensures the wings remain locked in
place during operations and automatic aileron and flap
connection eliminate the need to manually adjust aileron and
flap positions before wing fold and after wing extension.
•
Folding and unfolding of the wings must be done with the
weight of the aircraft on the wheels. The wings cannot be
folded while the aircraft is floating on water.
•
Even though the propeller arc clears the folded wing surfaces,
ICON does not recommend running the engine or taxiing with
wings folded.
•
An annunciator panel light in the cockpit will warn the pilot
when the wing lock system is unlocked.
•
Folding and unfolding the wings in winds above 10 knots is not
recommended.

HORIZONTAL TAIL
The horizontal tail tips are removable for trailering or shipping
purposes. The tips have two switches—one to detect that the tip is
fully installed and the second to detect that the latch is secured. The
removable tip latches are located on the underside of the horizontal
tail and are placarded to show operation.
WARNING
: The latch for the removable horizontal tail tip
must fully cover the red portion of the placard
