− Transportation :

Bumpy and long drives might damage the wing unless it is properly loaded. Transport the wing

and the trike by road requires that the wing, in particular, is properly braced, cannot shake about

and is generally very carefully loaded and tied down, so that no hard points can damage tubes and

sail. We suggest carrying the wing carefully on a ladder covered with foam rubber to avoid

precarious overhanging.

Do not tighten too much the wing with straps or rubber extensible springs in order to

preserve the stiffening device of leading edges airfoil. Avoid any shock and bump.

− Storage :

Keep it in a dry place, protected against U-V rays.

Clean it with fresh water after exposing it to sea air. Wash out any grass stain with water and

regular soap.

Open the cover to allow the sail and the structure to dry after transport or use in the rain.

− Overhauling

IMPORTANT

IN REGULAR CONDITIONS OF USE* A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE

WING IS ESSENTIAL EVERY 150 FLYING HOURS** AND AFTER ANY

HEAVY LANDING. THIS OVERHAUL INCLUDING COMPLETE SAIL AND

STRUCTURE DISMANTLING, REPLACEMENT OF ALL SCREWS AND

NUTS AND A SYSTEMATIC CONTROL, MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN OUR

WORKSHOPS OR IN AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICAL STATION***. IT IS

NECESSARY FOR SAFETY

A special use (mountain, tropics, sea environments and rough fields) requires a superior

frequency, i.e. every year and every 100 hours.

Or at least every two years if the wing flies less than 150 hours.

***

Whose operators follow a specific technical training in our workshops.

An updated list is available on demand.

Ageing of the fabric and seams of the sails may cause an important reduction of the wing

resistance. The degradation is principally caused through exposure to ultraviolet rays

emitted by the sun and the moon. In order to slow down the process, the sail should be

stored folded in its cover, or if it stays rigged, in closed premises. Always put it away in a

sheltered place, shielded from the rays of the sun, even between flights. These measures help

to lengthen sail life.

A strip fabric identical with the one used for the upper surface is stitched in the middle of

the sail and above the keel pocket. The strip is made of two samples sewed together. During

each periodical overhaul, part of the strip must be cut off, and submitted to a test of wear

and tear in our premises. The results of the test determine when the replacement of the sail

becomes essential for safety reasons.
