moyes Gecko - Assembly From Short Pack to Full Length

GECKO OWNERS MANUAL
Version 3 6
ASSEMBLY FROM SHORT PACK TO FULL LENGTH
You may have received your glider “short packed”. This is when the outer leading edges have been
removed and packed in with the rest of the glider so the packed length is shorter. Normally your
Gecko will have been assembled to full length by your dealer. If your glider is already full length,
skip this section and go to the Set Up Procedures section.
All references to “top”, “bottom/under”, “left” and “right” refer to the side of the glider when set up in
flying mode.
1. Unzip the glider bag and roll the glider so that the top is up. Undo the straps and extend
the sail.

The LEFT and RIGHT sides always refer to the side when the glider is set up and ready to fly and pilot is in
the control frame. If you are unsure, identify the kingpost from the rear as a reference for orientation.
! NOTE
With standard uprights, the uprights will naturally toe-in. Hold the base bar and
the upright, twisting the upright so the connection lines up.
