One-man rigging question

"One man riggers" are a great investment. Get one with lateral (side-
to-side) adjustment.
As mentioned before, with practice the AS-W15 should be pretty easy
to rig by yourself, with any of the riggers. You could build a drift
pin or cam-shaped pin out of Delrin as a rigging tool to align the
spars. A 15 would usually not have a trailer with adjustable ramp
height, so you'll use the jack in the rigger.
With a glider that doesn't "slip right together" you'll enjoy having
the rigger supporting the wing while you scratch your head, instead of
a friend who might be harder to find next time.
Lasers sound a bit complicated. If you need a reference line, while
the glider is rigged draw fore/aft and top of spar lines in the
baggage compartment with a magic marker.
DOH! Come to think of it I don't remember if there's a place to draw
lines in the 15.

Jim,
the laser is a little complicated to set up but it works well after
that. I enjoyed building it as an interesting project and do not like
hassling with the wing, so it was all good.

The problem with any reference line or aid at the spars is that when
the pins are in, everything lines up perfect, but there could be a lot
of pressure on the pins making it too hard to get them out. Then you
see people bouncing the wing tip around trying to get the pressure off
the pins by trial and error.
