- Page 4 Inspired by creative ideas of Flylight, Aeros has developed and added the new strut-braced wing NINE to its line of wings in the nano segment. At 9 sqm the NINE wing is designed for cross country enthusiasts, extending the range of acceptable weather conditions for flying.
- Page 5 Operating the NINE outside of the above limitations may result in injury and death. Flying a trike with the NINE 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 6 Do not forget to secure the sail attachment straps at the nose part of the sail to the leading edge tubes with appropriate screws (see step 22 in section 5. NINE SET-UP PROCEDURE) Figure 5 4. NINE BREAKDOWN FOR SHIPPING PROCEDURE This process will basically be the reverse of reassembling after breakdown for shipping.
- Page 7 5. NINE SET-UP PROCEDURE 1. Lay the wing on the ground, with the bag zipper up. Lay the winglets next to the wing. 2. Undo the bag zipper and take out the hang bracket, struts, battens and the control bar (fig. 6).
- Page 8 10. Attach the struts according to the markings. L-left, R-right marks must be on the control frame side of the struts, on top. We suggest following the procedure described below for joining the struts, which greatly simplifies assembly. Attach the upper part of the strut first (fig.12), together with the strut safety wire.
- Page 9 Aeros convention is that the red marked battens go in the left wing and green marked battens go in the right wing. Battens are numbered from the center outwards, and the longest battens in the NINE are designated as the "No.
- Page 10 Install the lever batten tips into the hem of the trailing edge. At each batten, make sure the opening in the underside of the trailing edge hem is spread to accept the tab on the batten tip. Make sure the tab slides fully into the hem. To open or close the batten tip lever, press firmly on the under surface of the tip lever to disengage or engage it (fig.20).
- Page 11 Figure 25 Figure 26 20. The next step is to deploy both the inboard sprogs and the outboard sprogs and secure them in position (fig. 26). Before doing so, working through the sprog access zippers, pre-flight check the following items: - internal ribs to confirm that they are fully zipped up;...
- Page 12 Figure 30 Figure 31 23. If the wing is assembled right after the shipment, you will need to fix the sail mount straps at the nose part of the sail to the leading edge tubes with screws (fig. 30). If it is just conventional set up, skip this procedure.
- Page 13 Along the left leading edge: Open the main sprog access zipper and look inside, making sure that the crossbar, the main sprog and the main sprog wires are properly secured (fig. 34). Check that the strut is properly secured, safety wire is engaged and the safety ring is installed (fig. 35).
- Page 14 Along the trailing edge, left wing: Check that there are no tears in the sail material along the trailing edge. Check that all battens are properly secured. Check that the inboard and outboard sprogs are properly secured in their position supporting the appropriate transverse batten (inboard sprog) and batten #7 (outboard sprog).
- Page 15 The range of trim speed for the NINE is 72 - 82 km/h ((45 - 51 mph). The stall speed for the NINE is 44 - 45 km/h (27- 28 mph). The wing is stable at the beginning of stall. While pushing out the base bar, the bar pressure is relatively light and close to the stall the bar pressure start to decrease.
- Page 16 WARNING NEVER DETENTION THE CROSSBAR WITH THE SPROGS INSTALLED IN THE DOUBLE SURFACE, OTHERWISE THE SAIL WILL BE DAMAGED. 8. Remove the top battens except for the top battens #1. Pack battens into the batten bag. 9. Install the wingtip protection bags. 10.
- Page 17 Make sure the battens are tensioned on the left and right wings identical. All battens on the NINE, except for the plug-on battens are tensioned by lever batten tips. The desired batten tension can be easily adjusted by the threaded lever batten tip adjuster.
- Page 18 On the NINE, the hang point position is adjusted by repositioning the hang bracket along the keel tube. The trim speed of the NINE is 80 km/h with the hang bracket installed in the rearmost position. ADJUSTABLE VENTS There are adjustable Vents on the bottom surface of the NINE (fig.
- Page 19 On the other hand, a wire that has been kinked one time can fail very quickly after that, and should be replaced immediately. We recommend that you have all maintenance work done by your Aeros dealer. EVERY SIX MONTHS 1.
- Page 20 SPROG MEASUREMENT The NINE uses inboard and outboard sprogs in combination with one transverse batten on each inboard sprog and one cambered batten for each outboard sprog. Each transverse batten spans two top surface battens, so a total of six top surface battens are supported. The sprog system is the primary component of the system, which provides pitch stability.
- Page 21 (fig. 49). The scale of the angle meter will show the sprog angle. The main sprogs for NINE should be set to 9 deg. The outer sprogs for NINE should be set to 18 deg. To adjust the sprog angle: 1.
- Page 22 4. Open the main undersurface zipper completely. Slide the sail slightly forward and get the nose of the frame out through the nose hole of the sail. Now slide the complete frame out through the open center zipper. If you encounter resistance, stop and find out what is hanging up.
- Page 23 Figure 54 10. Mount the sail mount webbing straps on the plastic caps of the rear leading edge tubes and secure them with the sail mount webbing Velcro. (See section 3. NINE REASSEMBLY AFTER SHIPPING PROCEDURE). 11. Attach the rear wires to the rear of the keel and secure the nut with the splint (fig.
- Page 24 - Your wing is delivered to you ready to fly. Do not make any adjustments, which are not described in this manual. - If you are in doubt about any aspect of your wing, you should consult your dealer or Aeros for advice.
- Page 25 Remember that ultimately your safety is your responsibility. - Fly only in places that are suitable for flying. - With proper care and maintenance, your wing will retain a high level of airworthiness for many years. Have fun. Fly safely. Aeros Team...
