Not wanting to start an argument, but with sensible fittings it makes no difference whether the wings go in root first or tip first. (I'm assuming the fus goes in nose first but you may have novel plans). I think it depends on the weight of the root, and how cumbersome it is. The root on my ASH 26 E is 100 lbs; loading it tip first means carrying that 100 lbs about 50 feet instead 10 feet - that's with a helper on the tip. And wouldn't Using a self-assembly dolly be much more awkward? -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf |
