One-man rigging question
I have an ASW 15 which has fork and tongue spars with two main pins.
My current assembly method is to insert both wings and then have the helper raise the tip of one wing and slowly lower it while the other wing tip is on a stand. I work the pins and when they are going in I have the helper hold the wing in place. I do this for each pin. Its easy to do and takes only a minute. This old glider goes together much easier than many new ones I've seen BUT the holes have to lined up exactly. Anyway, I'd like to rigged and waiting for the tow pilot on good days and be able to stay up so that no one is waiting for me to land so they can help de-rig before they go home. I envision making many trips between pins and rigging aid trying to get things just right. I also imagiing it will be a little different each time since I rig on grass that nobody would mistake for a fairway. What are your expeiences with one man riggers, two pin systems and uneven ground? I'm wondering if the hassle will outweigh the benefits. Tip and tricks welcome. Thanks. |
