Packing
Gather the wing together from the middle, and fold it to the width of
the compressbag . When folding, lay the wing profiles nose on nose,
so that the plastic rods lie as flat as possible on each other, all at the
same height . Change your folding centreline on a regular basis so that
the centre panel (Logo) does not always contain the foldline .
Always store your wing in a dry and dark place .
Leading-Edge Wires
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 posi-
tions . Finally close and fold the Tubebag .
