What a sad, little person. (I almost wrote man) K Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2013 07:30:28 +1000 To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] One person rigging
LOL!. I guess people routinely spend $1500 or so on "One person rigging aids" with no intention of ever using them for "one person rigging" especially as two saw horses costing $40 will do exactly the same if a second person is available. The second person in that case doesn'r even do much. BTW the electric remote control rigging aid is probably worth it. The video of the guy rigging the standard Cirrus had an awful lot of walking around the glider in it.

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.

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.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] European transport 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?

I am hoping to purchase a particularly good one person rigging device manufactured in Slovenia. Freight on its own however makes it prohibitively expensive.
