In the case of partial dismantling only the wing is taken off and in a closed place it
will stand on the A-frame with the nose on the floor, or in open air it will be laid onto
the A-frame. If the the wing is laid onto the A-frame on the ground it must be
anchored to the ground in order to defend this device, with a relatively big surface
and light weight, against becoming a toy of the wind and suffering serious damages.
Do not store your wing in this state for a long time.
Do not leave your wing on the trike for a long period in strong winds, because it will
decrease the life of the sail, and the joints and frame of your wing. We recommend
that you do not expose your wing to any more direct sunlight than unconditionally
necessary.
Because of all these the advantages of storing the aircraft in a roofed place are
evident. If there is not enough room the wing is to be disassembled, put into its sack,
place it onto two supports with its back downwards, both supports being 1,5 meter
form the ends of the sack. Supports are to be carefully padded.
When packing the wing use the appropriate padding prepared to defend the wing
tips, the A-frame corners and the WinG-wing main joint (the „cardan”), put the
battens into their sack and find an appropriate situation for the wires against getting
worn or causing damage
Never store the wing when wet, or if this is not possible air the wing and dry it as
soon as possible.
Trike can be stored with the main beam standing, which can be bent down if the
room is not enough. When getting prepared for a longer storing it is advisable to
place the trike onto supports with the wheels in the air to save the rubber tires from
deformation
In order to prepare the motor for an extended period of storing consult the Rotax
Manual.
6.2 Transportation
The aircraft can be transported on a light trailer made by Apollo to be used by WSC
aircrafts for transportation in folded up state. Trike is to be fixed to the trailer by tying
it down at the wheels. If the main beam of the trike is bend down use a short support
in the place of the nose tube to save the joints of the trike. The wing may be
transported in its waterproof bag, which offers protection from mechanical damage,
soiling and rain. The wing may be carried either on the roof rack of a car or on the
trailer supported by pads in both cases so as when storing.
During transportation, use attachment straps that are sufficiently secure to eliminate
the possibility of damage from vibration and movement. Flat straps should be used
for tie downs to avoid damage to leading edge Mylar.
When transporting the trike use trike and prop covers to protect your ultralight. Tie
the propeller to the trike to stop it from rotating at speed.
