Fox Breakdown For Shipping Procedure In A 2 Meters Short Package; (Fox-B And Fox-Bm Models Only) - Aeros Fox-16 Owner's Service Manual

13. FOX BREAKDOWN FOR SHIPPING PROCEDURE IN A 2 METERS SHORT
PACKAGE (Fox-B and Fox-BM models only)
The Fox design allows for the glider transportation in a 2.2 meters short package.
Please read and be sure you thoroughly understand this manual before breaking down you glider in to a
short package.
You will need an unobstructed area 2 m by 9 m (6x30 ft). Make sure the surface is clean. If it is abrasive,
you should either cover it with protective tarp or be extremely careful not to scrape your sail.
1. Start braking down the glider with the glider lying on its back. Unzip and remove the glider bag and put
battens and the speedbar aside. Remove the control frame and the keel protection bags. Remove all
battens from the sail including the keel batten.
2. Spread the wings slightly. Remove the screws that tether the nose part of the sail at the leading edge
tubes (fig.22). Undo the sail mount webbing Velcro and remove sail mount webbing from the plastic end
at the rear leading edge (fig. 23).

Note: Reassemble the hardware removed in its place in original order so that it doesn't get lost. All
disassembled assemblies on the glider must be reassembled in the proper order and orientation.
3. Unbolt bottom and upper side wires from the crossbar and feed them through the holes and out of the
sail (fig. 24).

4. Unbolt the upper front wire from the nose plate and feed it through the hole and out of the sail (fig. 25).
5. Remove the keel pocket mounting screw from the keel pocket webbing at the rear part of the keel tube.
Detach the rear cables from the keel tube (on the fig. 26 shown for Fox BM).
