Assembly of the ibb-tiny-300

1 Untubing

• Open the right side of the Tube.
• Take care of the two vinyl caps, which hold the 2 spreader carbon rods together.
• A short zero.4 flying line will also be there, if you have ordered one.
• Unfold the sail completely and lay it out.

2 Assembly

• First assemble the spine of the kite.
• The shifting coupling is on the upper part of the spine carbon rod.
• Shift the coupling over the lower spine rod down to the stopper.
• The Spine is ready now, let's continue with the wings.

• Push the upper wing carbon rods downwards until they reach position "2".
• Now upwards, to the left in the picture, into the leading edge pockets.
• The red dot on the sail is much smaller and black on your kite.

• Push the upper wing carbon rod downwards into the small aluminum coupling.
• The coupling is fixed on the lower short wing part, the insert depth is 10 mm.
• New there are generous cutouts instead of just a hole.

• This is the final position of of the wing structure, factory setting.
• The X-line is facing the dot on the sail perpendicular to the leading edge.
• By the way: the sail is made of Dyneema Composite Fabric, Icarex and Dacron.

• Your kite has now the state of a "non-tiny".
• It's not able to lay completely flat, because the whole thing is 3-dimensional.
• That's what the synergetic spreader will form.

• Finally, take the 2 segments of the spreader out of the vinyl cap.
• The coupling is fixed harder to one segment, here the left one.
• Do not lose the cap, as it will hold the 2 spreader segments together when tubing.
• The two couplings are now newly made from a precisely turned piece of ABS.

• The built up kite: back view of the connector position.
• This geometry will settle by itself.
• The spreader pushes the whole wing structure downwards, slightly.

• The front side of the Ibb tiny 300 looks like this.
• By the z-line, the spine is pulled into a slightly convex bowed geometry.
• The wings are pushed apart elastically by the spreader.

• One of the additional caps, which is used to hold the 2 spreader segments together while in the Tube.
• Put one or both onto the nose of the kite for flights in generous space.
• Remove them for agile floating in confined space.
• The smallest cap always stays on the nose plastic part, it fixes the nose tensioning line.

3 Flight

• The Ibb tiny 300 flies exactly like the standard size Flow or Rhythm Edition.
• If you like to know more about flight and setup, check the user manual for zero wind kites or some of our videos.
• When it's time to go back to the hotel, there are two options:
  Just fold the kite as any other and stick it into the tube nose forward, this takes a few seconds.
• Or fold it down completely for storing it in the 300 mm Tube. While a storm is arising, this act is more convenient in the hotel.

4 make it tiny

• The spreader is in its 2 halves again and they are hold together securely by the nose cap.
• The wing carbon rods are moved down through the leading edge slots and then up to the position shown here.
• Any hard component, here the rods, will need to be parallel to the spine all the time.
• You may also take out the 2 upper wing rods completely, while the short wingtip-rods still need to be parallel.

• Shift the spine coupling up, until the lower part of the spine is free.
• Now, you can fold the whole sail to the half length.
• Some users prefer to completely remove the leading edges out of the kite, but leave the short rods rather in the wingtips.

• Fold the whole sail to the half width, now ready for rolling.
• The reference length is the spine area.

• The kite is rolled quite loosely, that's sufficient for the ø 50 mm tube.
• Your complete urban zero wind kite gear is now ready for tubing.

5 tubing

• I like to store the Ibb tiny 300 kite, as any others, from the left side into the Tube.
• While the Tube cap is holding the kite together, close it.

• Close the Tube on the right side.
• If you store a 20 m zero.4 line with the kite, you may want it to be visible.
• That's the minimal, yet complete urban floating equipment.

• Sometimes I just keep the spine, the wings and the spreader as they are, and store the kite nose-forward in the tube.
• That's when I'm heading back to the hotel in a rush or when the kite is wet and needs to be layed out during the night anyway.

Enjoy your marvelous flight…
