I have a Ventus cT which is pretty similar for rigging. I previously had
a Duo which uses the same Schempp-Hirth system.
Firstly, before rigging ensure the water ballast dump lever is set to
shut. then unlock your airbrakes. I usually rig the left wing first. The
most important thing then, and before rigging the right wing is to
ensure that the left wing is properly in position, i.e the gap between
the wing and fuselage is small and uniform and most importantly, the
fuselage height should be set so when you look at the right side of the
fuselage, the left wing stub is exactly in the middle of the hole. If you
don't get this right, any S-H glider is a pig to rig. If you set the height
correctly, the whole aircraft goes together very easily.
Hope this helps.
