However, one of the obligations derived from the use of these lines is the 
need to maintain the trim of our SKIN 2 P within the stipulated ranges. 
 
In other words, if the lines are out of trim, however small the variation it 
will affect performance.

We recommend checking the lines after the first +/- 30 flying hours. This 
trim check should be performed additionally to the inspection at 100 
hours / 2 years (whichever comes first).

Why is this necessary?

With this check we can ensure that the wing performs optimally with its 
original performance.

The check results will vary for each wing, depending on the country, 
terrain, climate, temperature, humidity, wing-loading, etc. That is why, if 
there are any differences in the line lengths, the wing must be returned to 
its optimum trim.  This check and any adjustment must be performed by 
a qualified professional.  

It is important not to match your lines to another identical wing. Your 
wing may not need any modification.

7.4 REPAIRS

In the case of small tears, you can temporarily repair these by using the 
Ripstop tape included in the repair kit, as long as no stitching is required 
to mend the fabric. Any repair should be done in a specialist repair shop 
by qualified personnel. 

Damaged lines must be repaired or exchanged immediately. Please refer 
to the line plan at the end of this manual.  Please refer to the line plan at 
the end of this manual.

Any repair should be done in a specialist repair shop by qualified 
personnel. Niviuk can not be held responsible for any damage caused by 
incorrect repairs.
