Wanted to buy: One Man Rigger

As promised I have completed an Instructable on how I built my powered wing rigging tool. It doesn't look pretty but it works well. Others could make it look nicer, I am sure.

That is one "Mad Max" looking rigger. Probably works great but don't enter it in any design competitions.

Dear Soartech,

Have a look at my rigger:

The Instructables website is really neat. I published my design because my wife let me know after I was finished that I will NOT start building these for sale in our basement. So go ahead, roll your own! I will be glad to entertain any questions.

I can vouch for Herbs setup. Its pretty impressive. I saw it in action last year in Parowan. Although he did spend a good hour looking for the remote before he got started.
Remember that Herb?
Anyway once he found it he made quick work of putting the Girly wings on his LS8

Thanks Randy, you caught me in another Senior Moment. However, I do remember that once I had the girly-wings on, you had a hard time following me (more like in NO CHANCE).

I am still looking for a used rigger to donate to my club.
If you have one available, please contact me offline at staniforthjim?yahoo?com
Remove the question marks and replace with the usual.

I have an Udo and it works beautifully. I think the key is how closely the saddle matches the wing contour.

The ground I assemble on is rough, lumpy and grass covered but the rigger handles it well. A fore/aft adjustment is good to have. It was an option on mine but I didn't go for it. On the grass of my home field it's easy to just tug the rigger forward or back to line the wing up but it's a little more difficult to do so on pavement.
