The trick is that the wings need to be in anhedral to fit into the

Similar adjustment required to rig any modern glider. With a fixed
height one man rigger the adjustment can be easily made with the
trailer ramp jack. Raising and lowering the fuselage is the same as
lowering or raising the wing tips but it has the advantage that you
can monitor the alignment while you make the adjustment.

The only issue I see is that
the toothed belt driving the prop is sealed inside the mast. No way to
change it. I hope is lasts a long time......


Can the belt be inspected? How is it replaced?
