Ventus rigging advice, please?

anything once the first wing is in.

I struggle to get the second wing to fit, never knowing whether it's a bit
too
high or a bit too low. The ground is uneven and sloping, which doesn't
help.

I hope some Ventus owners can give me some tips, please?

That was impressive!

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. I can't recall whether I told him what I'd done or not.

That was really fun to watch!Â* ...But I would personally want to wiggle
everything before launching...
