The trick is that the wings need to be in anhedral to fit into the drag pins, then the tips come up to align the mains. 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? Andy
