Page 9: Instructions For Use
Instructions for Use Rigging 5.1.1 Assembly Open the wing bag, make sure that the A-frame is on top, and remove fastenings and paddings. At this point, do not assemble the trapeze with the control bar to avoid the risk of damaging the sail with the upright profile! Lift the wing from the front and rotate it so that the wing is laying with the folded control frame flat on the ground. -
Page 10: Disassembly
Pull the cross tube swan catch tensioner towards the trailing edge, then hook it to the rail screw at the keel tip (Figure 5-2). To ease the operation, carefully center the A-frame, ensure that the tabs and heat shrink coverings of the lower lateral cables do not get stuck in the sail opening at the cross tube/leading edge connection and that the stainless steel tabs line up with the control bar. -
Page 11: Preflight Check
Preflight Check The wing preflight check will be easier if made before lifting the wing above the trike. The following is a brief summary of the minimum pre-flight inspection, which assumes that the scheduled maintenance checks outlined in the maintenance manual has been performed. If you are unsure, it does no harm to increase the number of items in your inspection in accordance with the recommendations of the maintenance manual. -

5.3.3 Flight Techniques Taxiing: Avoid turning sharply as this generates large amounts of torque and hence wear, transmitted to the pylon, hang point and keel. Always try to keep the wing aligned with the trike when turning by bracing the control bar. Turning circle is very small, but beware –... - Page 14 and low cruise speed adjustment, it may be necessary to increase the speed before the wing is put into banking to avoid stalling the lower wing. An increase in engine power is also advised to maintain the flight level during the turn. talling: The stalling point is reached more easily with a backward hang point position.
- Page 15 Ground-runs Keep the sail flat into a headwind. Push the control bar against the trike front strut with a tailwind. This will avoid flipping. With a side wind, be careful to always tilt the wing so that the windward edge is slightly lower than the rest of the wing. It may be difficult to hold the A-frame in its position.
- Page 16 Flight in Turbulence: Compared to other flexwing microlights, the iFun XL handles turbulence very well. However in common with all microlight aircraft, care must be taken in turbulent conditions, particularly when close to the ground. As previously stated high airspeed will enhance maneuverability in these situations.
