Packing - Advance acoustic IOTA2 Manual

Packing

General
The IOTA 2 should be folded cell to cell . There are several methods
of doing this . We recommend the following, and standard for an inner
bag: First gather the cells at the leading edge, beginning at the wing
centre . Collect one side to the centre, then the other side . Make sure
that the Rigid Foils (wires) of the leading edge lie as flat as possible on
each other and (important) at the same height . This will ensure that all
leading edge wires will automatically be at the same level (important for
later folding) . Then follow the same process at the trailing edge – ex-
cept that the ends of these cells will not be at the same level because
of the elliptical shape of the wing – the ribs get shorter as the wingtips
are approached . Do not disturb the positions of the leading edge and
C-wires – already carefully gathered .
Now turn the collected left and right lanes over into the centre, then
fold one over the other . Regularly change the position of this final cre-
ase to save wear on the same lane .
Now fold the paraglider to the width of the inner bag as usual (see pic .):
fold the trailing edge in, at the ends of the C-wires, and then the lea-
ding edge, below the rigid foils . Finally fold the leading edge half over
the lower section . First fold in the mini-rib section of the trailing
edge, Now fold the paraglider to the width of the inner bag as usual
(see pic .): fold the trailing edge in, at the ends of the C-wires, and then
the leading edge, below the rigid foils . Finally fold the leading edge half
over the lower section . then fold the leading edge bundle over, below
ends of the leading edge wires .
over the trailing edge end of the package . Be aware that careless pa-
cking will shorten your IOTA 2's life . Do not leave the wing unneces-
sarily in the sun, and never subject it to large temperature changes .
Always store your IOTA 2 in a dry place . As for all paragliders, avoid ex-
cessive compression and extra-tight packing . Finally fold the leading
