Page 4: Introduction
Fox T. No kingpost means that you can store the wing in hangar while it remains fixed to the trike. Fox 13TL has got one really unique design feature: it can be quickly set up on a trike from being folded to 5.1 m. This allows storing the trike with the wing on it in a really limited space in a hangar or even in a garage. -
Page 5: Technical Information And Operating Limitations
Operating the Fox 13TL outside of the above limitations may result in injury and death. Flying a nanolight trike with the Fox 13TL wing in strong or gusty winds or turbulence may result in loss of control of the wing, which may lead to injury and death. -

Page 11: Preflight Procedure
6. PREFLIGHT PROCEDURE Conduct a complete preflight inspection of the wing, checking all assemblies, which have not already been checked. Every bolt, nut, pin, safety ring, and fastener of any kind should be checked during every pre-flight. A full pre-flight inspection should precede every flight you make, not just the first flight of the day. - Page 12 From the rear keel Check that the shackle of the sweep wires is secured on the hook on the keel tube (fig. 24). Check the rear cables making sure there are no kinks or twisted thimbles. Figure 24 Along the trailing edge, right wing: Same as for the left wing. At the right tip: Same as for the left tip.

Page 15: Speed To Fly
The range of trim speed for the Fox-13TL is 54 - 55 km/h (33 - 34 mph). The range of the stall speed for the Fox 13TL is 36 - 37 km/h (22 – 23 mph). The wing is stable at the beginning of stall. - Page 16 6. Remove all battens out of the sail except for the nose batten and store them in the batten bag. 7. Remove the transverse battens. 8.

Page 17: Wing Tuning
If the battens tensioned too much, the handling will become harder. Make sure the battens tensioned on both wings identical. All battens on the Fox 13TL are tensioned by lever batten tips. The desired batten tension can be easily adjusted by the threaded batten tip adjuster. -
Page 18: Maintenance
On the Fox 13TL, the hang point position is adjusted by repositioning the hang block along the keel tube. 12. MAINTENANCE This section contains a recommended schedule of periodic maintenance. - Page 19 SPROG MEASUREMENT The Fox 13TL uses inboard and outboard sprogs in combination with one transverse batten on each inboard sprog. Each transverse batten spans two top surface battens, so a total of six top surface battens are supported.

Page 20: Removing The Sail From The Frame And Re-Installing
Since Fox 13TL is a single surface wing the sail removal is rather easy to perform. 1. Unzip and remove the wing bag and put struts, battens and the control bar aside. Remove Velcro straps and all protection bags from the wing. - Page 21 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. 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.
