[quote=revintage]Good thinking sm,
Actually got the foldable idea from M32 and they seem to accept full fold when capsizing ;-) .

If one wants to prevent a total fold when turning over, a stop could easily be adapted to prevent the wings to fold more than the leeward lift.
The wings are fairly light at 15kg/side(no prob as we are both fairly light) so another solution is to add a elastic line in parallell with the 3mm Dyneema "lift line" to keep the wings down/unfolded when not loaded by the crew.
Will rebuild this winter as I have a pair of 18SQ beams on their way from Holland. Will then be able to shorten the wings ca 30cm/side.
The reason for adding wings is that we are retired, without the acrobatic skills to trapeze any longer :-) .<!-- editby --><em>Edited by revintage on Sep 29, 2017 - 08:49 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
