    Very informative as usual. How about doing a portability vid on these machines, might be cool to see the short wing pack and trike fold demo stowed in the back of the smallest car you can get it into 😃

    Thanks for the great video. I own an Aeros ANT with the strutted Fox 13TL wing. My trike/wing de-rigs in a very similar fashion, with only a few differences. By watching this video I was able to pick-up a couple of great tips that will work on my wing and trike as well. Thanks again.

      Great to hear, yes the TL is a little less complex but has a bit more tension but basically the same wing, thanks again for the feed back 👍🏻

    Nice presentation Mark and very clear. A thing worth considering when hangaring is that, whilst it might be nice to pack it completely into its bag (bit of extra faff but keeps it cleaner), if your hangar has mouse infestation (who's doesn't?), the mice are less likely to attack a loose hanging sail. They do like to nest for the winter in a tightly enclosed (protected) environment. Nothing worse than finding a row of holes in a sail :(

    Really nice presentation, you're easy to listen to and follow; it could be said just as easy to pop the wing off to store separately, but the innovation of the support-strut design by Ben means you can remove the kingpost and store inside lower hangar doors, assume you can add the support struts but remove the kingpost without further taking apart the wing? (as you might guess, I'm looking for ideas for mine although not a Flylight product)

      Thanks Kevin appreciate the comments, the quick wing fold really does save time over removing the wing all though, as you say it’s not too difficult too do. You could indeed leave the king post in place but this may make it difficult to roll the wing as the luff lines may limit movement.

      @@wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946 Apologies, should have been clearer; was referring to the ability to keep wing mostly intact and rigged, so it can be wheeled under a low door, on preparation for an outing you'd just refit kingpost, swap out those brackets and support struts, check it and be off in 5 minutes. This would suit a PeeBee being stored like a fixed wing, i.e. straight in and out of the hangar, wing level, there are folk who store like this in a wide and shallow hangar. Also would appreciate your input on the way I have arrived at storage, albeit a much heavier trike and wing (posted on FB)

    Great stuff Mark, thank you. I'll be watching this one repeatedly. Looking forward to the rigging one too. :-)

    Top top video as always. As part of the series are you intending on explaining what licenses/experience you need before you can take your sub-70 aloft.

      Hi Jed, thanks fir your comments, I think that topic has been more than covered, check out Golf Foxtrot 22’s channel some great content specifically about it. 👍🏻

    I like that when you roll your wing up on each side, you don’t pull the material over top of the bar and then roll, like all other wings are done.
    I’m wonder now if that could be done on any brand wing.

    • @wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946
      @wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946  2 года назад

      It works very well this way when the wing is still “flown” but on the ground I’d be doing it the usual way. There’s a lot more access when semi rigged like this, you do need to be careful not to trap the skin between the keel and cross spar. Thanks for the comments 👍🏻

    Thanks very much, this really helps. In this configuration, I can fit it in the back of my truck all together. Did I see Giles towing his Peabee like this? I think I would need to secure the wing to the roof rack to stop it from flailing about. Suggestions?

    • @wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946
      @wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Ed, you could trailer it this way (Giles Doesn’t) it is very easy to to fully derigg fir transport and one to be covered in another video.

    Very useful. Many thanks. If you want to then take the wing off the trike, is this still the best way to do it or would you remove the wing from the trike before folding?

    • @wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946
      @wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946  Год назад +1

      This is purely for wing fold. It’s a different way to take the wing off. We’ve plans to revisit these instructional videos this year with another four in the pipe line. Thanks for watching

    Awesome video and well presented. Great insight ready for receiving a new machine. Do you get ALL the padding and wing socks etc with a new machine or are they little extras you have added?
    Looking forward to the follow on's now.

    • @wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946
      @wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946  2 года назад +2

      Hi Tony, thanks for the compliments, more to come. All the padding does come with the wing which is awesome, the hard bit is remembering where they go 😬

    Question- what's the time difference between doing rhis fold instead of doing a complete rig/derig? Thanks.

    Mark, is there much difference between rigging this and the Adam? Id imagine they are almost identical but could you highlight any differences?

  • @seadog857
    @seadog857 2 года назад +1

    Thanks for producing this very useful and informative video Mark. Almost forgotten the briefing I got on collecting my Adam from Sywell two months ago! Being a bit creaky I find the split rings quite a challenge looking at focker pins as alternative. The chocks look useful , do you sell them? Pete O

      @wingnutshomeofmicromainten6946  2 года назад

      Hi Pete, thanks again for the comments, with a bit of practice it’s very easy and self explanatory,. We don’t yet sell them as they’re cheap enough online from most of the usual retailers
