Nothing wrong with SH, it just takes skill rather than brute force to rig one.


Yes it takes skill or bag of tricks which is not needed with 2 pin wing.


I remain to be convinced about that as a generalisation. My ex-JS1c and current ASH 26e with 2 non-tapered pins need to be incredibly accurately aligned to get the pins in and can sometimes can be very frustrating. OTOH a previous LS7 with 2 x well tapered pins was very easy. I have had 5 single pin SH gliders (and a 6th soon) and all were fine to rig albeit a bit tight for the first few riggings if new.
