Default Ventus rigging advice, please?

Also, as a previous owner of both a Discus 2 and Ventus 2bx, be aware of temperature issues.
Coming from Germany, rigging is easier at European temperatures (15 to 20 C) than Southwest
US temperatures (30 to 40 C). Rig in the coolest temperatures you can and out of the midday sun.

I also concur that riffing the right wing first is a little easier as you have better cockpit access when

mating the left wing.

20 years rigging a Ventus cT, and I also put the right wing in first,
mainly for the reason stated above, reduce the jumping back and forth
during rigging. I do not find it necessary to tape the 1st wing.
