edge half over the trailing edge end of the package . Be aware that ca-
reless packing will shorten your IOTA 2's life . Do not leave the wing un-
necessarily in the sun, and never subject it to large temperature chan-
ges . Always store your IOTA 2 in a dry place . As for all paragliders,
avoid excessive compression and extra-tight packing .
Info: ADVANCE recommend packing and storing the IOTA 2 in a
cell bag . The ADVANCE Tubebag is very suitable .
Packing with the Tubebag
Packing in a sausage bag is good for the wing, and is easy to do . It
avoids undesirable sliding over the ground . Also the shape-retaining
storage in a Tubebag promotes long glider life .
Lay your wing, mushroomed as after landing, on the spread Tubebag .
Next spread the centre chord out to Tubebag length . Arrange the lines
and stow the risers on their tabs . Now gather the leading edge cells as
described in "General" above, except that all cells make up one pile –
no secondary folding into the centre . Then fasten the upper Tubebag
strap over the collected leading edge foils so that it holds them neat-
ly together . Follow the same basic process at the trailing edge . Pull the
centre lane straight then flatten and collect the outlying cells as already
described above . Do this gently: do not disturb your leading edge and
C-Wire positions . Final close the Tubebag then fold the Tubebag ends
at the same wing positions as described in "General" above .
