Glider care, packing and storage

[VladW.11]

I recently bought a Symphonia 2 and I'm planning to take it for a ride for the first time next month. I read that rods may deform easily due to packing and I'm afraid it will compromise not just the quality of my flight but also my safety. Am I just overthinking this? What's the best way to prevent rods from getting bent? I'd appreciate getting other tips for care and storage too!

You're right to be cautious. Improper packing and handling can compromise performance and safety. Ise a concertina bag to fold it genly and make sure not to compress too much. Keep in in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight.

The Symphonia 2 is a great wing, but like any high performance glider, it needs some TLC, so for storage and transport, always use a concertina bag or something similar that keeps the rods straight, avoid folding it too tight or cramming it into a small pack.
