SONIC OWNERS MANUAL
Version 1.01 25
The hardware fittings are often the cause of sail and tube wear if they are not padded
correctly.
The plastic components are tough and carry very little load, but once again, unusual
impacts may cause stress fractures. It is therefore important to be aware of their
condition.
Avoid over-tightening nuts. Junctions should be free to swivel, especially rigging tangs
and terminations.
Transportation
Always have sufficient padding between the glider and supports. To avoid any chance
of bending the glider during transportation, three support points should be utilised, with
the glider being firmly tied at all three points. Avoid unequal overhang at the ends and
ensure that should the glider project beyond the rear of the vehicle, sufficient warning is
available for the following motorists.
The extra care advised in this section will extend the flying life of your Sonic and help
maintain its resale value for the time when you may wish to move up to the higher
performance models.
