11. ULTRALIGHT DE-RIGGING PROCEDURE
Careful attention to the recommended rigging and de-rigging sequences will protect the ultralight from
the risk of unnecessary damage.
The de-rigging procedure is a direct reversal of the rigging procedure.
11.1 Removing Combat-T, Discus-T and Fox-T Wings from the Trike
The procedure for removing the Combat-T, Discus-T and Fox-T wings from the trike is in reverse order to
attaching the wing (see paragraph 6.1):
- ensure that the ignition switch and the lock key are in the off position;
- position the ultralight with its nose against the wind;
- remove the upper pylon quick-release bolt by releasing the bolt with the eccentric lever, removing the
control ring and unscrewing the nut;
- release the lower quick-release bolt with the eccentric lever;
- remove the "quick pin" fixing the lower connection of the front strut;
- using the auxiliary strap, take the front strut in one hand and the centre of the control bar in the other
and lower the wing with the trapeze down until the control bar is on the ground;
- drive the trike nose wheel over the control bar inside the wing's trapeze;
- remove the wing nosecone;
- detach the back up loop;
- unbolt the trike from the U Bracket of the wing;
- lower the nose of the wing to the ground;
- remove the mount bracket from the wing.
11.2 Removing Fox-13TL Wing from the Trike
The procedure for removing the Fox-13TL wing from the trike is in reverse order to attaching the wing
(see paragraph 6.2):
- ensure that the ignition switch and lock key are in the off position;
- position the ultralight with its nose against the wind;
- mount the wing mounting/removal bracket on the lower beam;
- remove the upper pylon quick release bolt by releasing the bolt with the eccentric lever, removing the
control ring and unscrewing the nut;
- release the lower quick-release bolt with the eccentric lever;
- remove the front strut locking "quick pin";
- sitting in the pilot's seat and holding the control bar, simultaneously press the spring release buttons on
the front brace tube and lower the wing first into your lap and then down, placing the control bar on the
wing mounting/removal bracket;
- secure the bracket straps around the control bar;
- remove the nose cone;
- detach the back up loop;
- unbolt the trike from the U Bracket of the wing and lower the wing nose to the ground;
- disconnect the front strut from the lower beam. Tilt the main pylon down and place the lower tip of the
front strut on the pilot seat;
- unfasten the straps around the control bar;
- lift the wing trapeze upwards and roll the trike backwards, then lower the wing onto the control bar;
- remove the wing mounting/removal bracket from the lower pylon;

11.3 Wing Break Down Procedure
Combat-T, Discus-T, Fox-T and Fox-TL wings differ from each other in both flight performance and
design, so their break down procedures are significantly different. The wing disassembly procedures, as
well as all necessary information related to the wing, is described in detail in the manual of the wing you
have chosen. Please read it thoroughly and make sure it is clearly understood.
