"fiddling with my particular set of dollies and wings"

!

Eric, I saw your setup a few years ago. I remember standing amazed at
how quickly and easily you put the wings on that 26. I can't believe
you've since found something to make it easier! When I saw you rig I
vowed that I would someday get a one man rigging outfit like that. It
might be this winter.

Once I figured out exactly how high the wingstand needs to be I've
found that my ASW15 rigs very easily. I've never had a problem geting
the wings aligned laterally and fore-aft it was only getting the
height correct that required some trial and error. If a glider doesn't
use the Schleicher style of assembly and the designer feels in
necessary to put pins on the end of each spar which must fit into the
opposite wing I think it should be mandatory that they provide a lever
system like the Libelle to pull them into place. My club has a
Standard Jantar one which has this facility and some Grobs 102's which
don't. It's SO much easier getting the wing in that last inch with the
Jantar! Most difficult to rig glider I've encountered? Our Twin Astir,
though that is mostly the fault of the trailer. The Blaniks usually go
together easier.
