I hope some Ventus owners can give me some tips, please? All about technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcRipsiPgdk UH |

It gets better. I've been solo rigging almost every time since 1982 when I built my first WingMate for my LS-3, knowing my mother would never make it thru a full Nationals crewing for me without some help.
But my REAL first solo rigging was with some foam pads, one conventional wingstand, and the hood of our car. My father wasn't around to help me assemble our Libelle 201--or to stop me from experimenting. ![]() Chip Bearden JB |
