Total weight is 215lbs I believe. I haven't ever stepped on a scale
while picking up either the wing tip or the root. I'd guess the split
is like 130lb/85lb or something like that between the root and the tip.
It's heavy, but mostly it is awkward.
There is a lot of weight on the trailing edge once you rotate flat.
That means the hinge-point for the wing-saddle is incorrectly
positioned. If the rigging aid is properly designed, there should
be almost no rotation force once the wing is ~level.
Which unit is this one ?
Then for the person at the tip, the height is very high given the dihedral.
When Julie and I rig, the tip is at about shoulder height for her.
Thanks,
