Solo Rigger For Sale

[Dan Marotta]

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?

[Dan Marotta]

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?

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

[Dan Marotta]

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

Oh yeah... And that's the Pipistrel that I have for sale in the
background of the third picture.

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
