Default Solo Rigging Equipment

One of the reasons I was interested in Chip's WingMate is it's small
size when collapsed. I have a 1985 vintage Cobra. With a wing wheel
and tow bar along with the other usual stuff there doesn't seem to be
much room left up front. The only one I've seen used is one of Udo's
carts. It seems very easy to use. I wasn't around when he derigged
and will need to see how he fits it in the trailer with the other
stuff.

I was thinking of making something that would utilize the trailer's
wing fixtures. They are rigid but are at a position where they are
over the aileron at the trailing edge. I'm wondering if the process
of rotating the wing as well as being horizontal would be too much
stress on the aileron. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks,
Bob
