How to Apply 898 Wing Bands
APPLICATOR: None required – Applied by hand.
Tagging Hints: Push band through web of wing directly at the elbow joint, being careful not to puncture flesh or tear the tendon at the leading edge of the wing. After the band is inserted through the wing, with thumb and forefinger, close the band until the tab is inserted through the hole. Now bend the tab and point down. (See a picture step-by-step guide here)
