Caution: When rigging and derigging the wings the wingtips with neo-Winglets

cameras) on the neo-Winglets!
Rigging and derigging the wingtips (Option winglets)
1. Remove the wingtips without winglets (if installed). To accomplish this screw
tool W70 into the locking pin and pull out the pin.
2. Slide the wingtip with winglet onto the tubular spar so far that the pins at the root
rib engage into the bushes, then push in firmly. Push in the locking pin so far that
it matches the wing surface. The pin will be locked by a ball catch. You should
notice the catching.
3. Removal of the wing tips with winglets is the same procedure as described under

4. Install the wingtips without winglets (if existent) following the procedure as
described under 2. for trailer storage.
Note: If you don’t have wingtips without winglets the trailer must be modified to hold
down the wings at the tubular spars.
