Electrical protection
The system is protected by a 5A push on/pull off circuit breaker. This should not operate in any normal
condition of use. If it operates, leave for 2 minutes before attempting a reset. If it operates again, the motor
system, wiring and limit switches must be checked. The CB can be manually pulled OFF if required.
Note:
The main charging fuse from the regulator to the battery should be 30A when electric trim is fitted.
The main fuse from the master switch to the main electrical bus should be 20A when electric trim is
fitted.

The Sail
The GT450 wing is the product of one the most experienced flexwing design teams in the world today. The
sail fabric is cut with exacting accuracy from stabilised polyester using tight, virtually non-porous and tear-
resistant weave construction. Double-stitched seams using PTFE UV resistant thread ensure complete
panel join integrity. Sail reinforcement is achieved by including extra material at high stress points. A Trilam
sandwich leading edge, a Kevlar trailing edge and a spanwise kevlar tape maintain the wing's performance
over a long life.
The aerofoil section is defined by pre-formed aluminium and pre-formed aluminium/composite ribs, with
chordwise tension being maintained by attachment to the trailing edge. The predictable low speed stall
exhibited by the GT450 is achieved by the clean lines of the aerofoil's leading edge radius and the spanwise
kevlar tape that limits the wing washout.
