 rigging
aids

made in Germany
All are capable of being folded and dismantled for storing in the trailer. On the left a rig that is mechanically adjustable in height and transverse, with two large tires for use on grass, and well aligned for precision work. Next to it our rig with electronic drive and push bottom remote control. You can stand at the fuselage and the wings can be moved back and forth, up and down. The rigging aid with its 5 swing wheels uses less space for assembly but is not so easily aligned. For most sailplanes additional pins on the sides are recommended for turning the wings. For rig with the smaller wheels design the ground should be as even as possible. On the extreme right is the Cobra wing support. It is mechanically adjustable in height, with folding tripod, left of it the electrical version with remote cable control and own battery. In the foreground the ground handling towing bar and wing dolly making it possible for one person with a car to tow the sailplane without a wing walker.

One man assembly rig with infra-red electric remote control

Remote control stores on the assembly rig when not in use, battery is sealed lead acid rechargeable 12V 7aH  type (Charger is not included) like those used in most sailplanes.
