Casey,

I think some of those viewers may have been confused by the title of your thread. IMI doesn't make a Wing Rigger. Wing Rigger is the trademark of a particular brand of sailplane solo assembly gear. Good luck selling the IMI unit.

Casey, what glider did you try using it on? You mention The wing assist unit is a larger size with a 150lb strut but I can't correlate that to the size of the glider. I have a Cirrus and am suspect it might not work for me either.

Thanks,

Robert

Robert.
Its the larger size for double seaters and supposedly can be used for other gliders as well. The strut can be changed. I ended up also purchasing a M&M wing rigger that fits perfect. I was sold this rigger new from a commercial supplier. If the cradle would have fit my glider I would have changed the strut. My glider is Grob Astir CS and has lower wing camber that is about the same as top and the cradle does not fit it.

Yes, IMI One Man Rigger. I did not realize that M&M Fabrication had a trademark name of Wing Rigger although I am familiar with them and have one. Personally I think its splitting hairs.

I guess what I will do is take the cradle with me and test on various gliders to see what ones it fits and re-list or just keep for my next glider.

Not to make a big deal about it, but my company is NOT "M&M" Fabrication. It is simply "MM" Fabrication. Apparently, the "Candy Gene" takes over whenever two "M's" are in close proximity. Nearly 90% of my suppliers, customers and everybody I come in contact with immediately thinks "M&M. Gooood!"

I wish I could take advantage of the marketing without getting sued.

Please don't split hairs, Mark. Nobody like hairs in the M&Ms. :-)

Happy owner of a MM Fabrication wing wheel for my FJ-1.
