Alignment suggestion: how about a simple sight gauge?
A removable fixture sitting on top of the fuselage (maybe 1” pvc pipe
attached to a FG saddle) which "fixes" two vertical “whiskers” aligning
perpendicular to the fuselage center-line. These “whiskers” would be spaced
as far apart as possible without interfering with walking out the wing. With the fixture on the fuselage top “sweet spot", just "gun sight" the
whiskers while out at the tip until properly aligned with a reference
point on your wing. Wing should then be positioned close enough to align
dead on within the adjustable travel of the rigger base if needed.

Hi Marshall - Perhaps I don't understand? A sight-gauge on the fuselage
won't help if my eye (at the root) is in the right location, but the
center of the wing (in the dolly) is not.

KISS rocks.

Absolutely. I'm going to try a string-gauge that places a target for
the wing-dolly column on the ground. Maneuver the wing dolly til the
support column is over the target, then swing root to fuselage and
rotate.

More important suggestion: the thought of lifting any wing tip and
carrying its load to full extension while stepping over a mid-way
pivot rigger is inviting a probable trip/fall/damaged wing and
SCREAMS oh my aching back.

Its not that bad! IIRC wing-tip is 40kg.

...pilots need a dual purpose rigging aid.
First it would serve as a “wingout” device...

Spindelberger makes a wing-tip roll-out device for the ASH-30
inner wing panel. The Arcus wing shape makes this harder.
And, a wing-tip device adds more parts and complexity...

Thanks Marshall,
See ya, Dave
