Rolf,
I have to agree. Lets face it the 15 minute rig on the unedited video compares
very favourably with the nonsense that we are used to. It will take longer than
that to tape the glider, DI it and of course get the mandatory second signature!
I must say that I am amazed that my request for container space yesterday has
resulted in the longest thread on this site that I can remember. Pleased to
advise that my request has resulted, in an offer of container space in the new
year. And yes, Mal, fumigation would be an issue from Europe also. Have asked
Enstroj for possibility of substituting a sturdy cardboard package.
Regards
Bob Ward

It doesn't take longer at all, only for those selfish individuals thinking
about their own time exclusively. In terms of man hours a single person rig is
faster.
Rolf - who hasn't got a life either and roams the internet on Christmas day.

Merry Christmas to all.
I think these devices would be better described as "centre of gravity rigging
systems" rather than "single person rigging systems".
I had one for quite a while and the advantage was not just that I could rig on
my own (though I could given enough time, since it takes longer to do the
multiple walk-arounds needed). It was that anyone could help, even small people
or those with a bad back.
And even for able bodied weight lifters, it was nice to be able to offer an
easier way to do it.
Cheers
Tim

yeah, don't help anybody to lug around weights well in excess of any OH&S
rules. The bush lawyers out there will make you responsible for anything going
wrong for your life time from that point onwards.
merry Christmas - Rolf

Interesting. I'm surprised there is a market for single person rigging tools
in Australia with a second signature required.
I guess people just ignore the rules when it suits.

Peter and other interested parties.
As Jim points out, there are many manufacturers of one person rigging
devices However, one of the best that I have found on the web is manufactured
by the Enstroj company in Slovakia. This same company manufactures the
brushless electric motors being used by Pipistrel and other glider
manufacturers. They have a very good web site, with a fifteen minute video of
the device (SPRC) being used
to rig an electric Apis self launcher, which was the test bed for the
brushless electric motor. Also a good video of the Apis , which is now
available from Pipistrel.
see www.enstroj.si .
The Pipistrel site is also worth a look. They have an interesting range
of sailplanes available, and sell at least some of them in kit form, for those
with talent, time and an interest in home building.
Regards, and merry Christmas to all

Hello Bob,
Sorry I don't have any info on a container from Europe.
However I am interested in any device that makes rigging gliders easier.
Can you tell me a bit about your new device?

If anyone has a container or trailer coming into Australia from Europe
in the next few months, and could accommodate a 25 KG wooden box with
dimensions 820x660x230 mm I would like to hear from them.
I am hoping to purchase a particularly good one person rigging device
manufactured in Slovenia. Freight on its own however makes it prohibitively
expensive.
