Ka-6 Rigging

Well I finally got out in my (new to me anyways) Ka-6 the other day, and I was wondering if anyone out there has some tips to make assembling it any easier. Ideally I'd like to get to a system where I wouldn't have to bother fellow club members too much for help. I figure as long as I keep the beer fridge stocked with good beer, I might keep my fellow member happy enough to continue helping me rig :-) Peter I've assembled my k6e for 8 years and found that concise instructions to the wing tip holder, a wing tip stand and an additional stand near the fuselage to stage the wing root is about as quick as it gets. Consider raising the wing tip at the same time you bring the root onto the fuselage, keep all the pins well greased, and use a third pair of hands on a windy day. Finally, you can complete a critical assembly check and a positive control check in just a moment or two with the same help. All of this has never been a bother; help has always been gracious and it's safe too. |
