Solo Rigger For Sale

This is made by a machinist and is a copy of those used in George
Applebay's shop, now Fidel's shop. No gas struts, no batteries, a screw
jack for raising and lowering the wing, slides forward and aft by hand.
Fiberglass wing cradle made by Fidel. Large tires for rough ground.
$500 plus shipping in the USA but I prefer it be picked up at Moriarty.

Hey Dan, do you have some pictures and do you know what wings it would work with/designed for?

I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.

It will work with any wing up to a Mosquito for thickness. The trailing
edge clamp was welded up for a Mosquito but, when I got my LAK-17a,
which has a much thinner wing, I simply padded the trailing edge clamp
with a folded towel. But it's a simple matter to re-weld the clamp to
the proper angle or to fabricate an adjustable clamp. Seriously, I was
too busy flying to be bothered with modifying it.

What glider are you thinking of using it on?

Dan, does the towel come with it or is that a extra charge? Could you get

Fidel to autograph and date it... All fun aside it is great and well worth
it.

I'm sure Fidel would autograph it if I asked him nicely and yes, I'll
throw in the towel.

Hey Dan:
If you or any of your Moriarty buddies are driving to the Nationals in Utah this week can I make a suggestion: Send the wing rigger in the back of the truck/camper. Several of us were interested in it but would like to see it up close. I bet you will get it sold.
Contact me privately for more info: generein at aol.com

Good suggestion, Gene, but I think everyone who's going to Utah has
already left. Still, I'll ask around.

Dan
