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, Best Regards, Dave |
