Hi Dave

I bought Paul Cordell's Nimbus 3D a couple of years or so back and it
had a very basic wing rigger with it. I one man rig without any
problems. It uses a mechanical screw height adjustment but once it is
set it hardly needs any fiddling. To get the fine adjustment for pin
alignment I adjust the fuse up or down with the fuse cradle jack(Cobra
trailer). I've seen people with much fancier and more complex gear have
more trouble, you just gotta have the knack

Although the Duo is quite high at the outer end of the inner panel I
wouldn't think you would have too much trouble with a well set up wing
rigger

Weather permitting I'll get you some photos tomorrow and email them to
you

Cheers
Colin

Thanks Colin !

Dave,

I use a wingrigger on my Arcus and it works fine. Steve strengthened the unit and added larger tires.

So you solo rig your Arcus?

I have used this rigging aid and it great.

We've used an Udo rigger that was made for an ASW-20 on our DG-505 Orion quite successfully simply by making the trailing edge clamp longer to deal with the greater chord. I've got one for my 15b and like it better than the others I've seen. I actually prefer the mechanical jack to the gas spring setup on some riggers. I think what really makes the Udos work well though is how good a job he did making the wing saddle - very substantial and fits nice and snug to the contour of the wing.
