Default Standard Jantar 48-3 & One-Man Assembly

Bigger? I have an SZD 59 (a bipolar Jantar 3 on steroids, same wing
planform though...) and the section of the wing that a one-man rigger
goes on is not larger than most std class ships. Heavier yes, but
chord and thickness are fairly average (not at the root- but that's
not where the rigger goes...) around the balance point.

Thanks Paul - I have been in touch with Steve and he said it would
require the "larger" model. Another thing to determine since there is
a price difference between the choices. He has offered a full
guarantee but I'd like to get some first-hand feedback prior to taking
the plunge.
