Wing-support for Duo one-person assembly
Hi All - I'm looking for recommendations for a
wing-dolly for solo assembly of the Duo Discus. The one we have has broken for the umpteenth time. I am very spoiled with the Lange unit that I always use for self-assembly of my Antares 20E. It is quick, easy, sturdy, and includes a gas- strut to allow one-hand height adjustment (gas spring matches weight of wing, with a lock that is unlatched and re-latched with one's toe). Unlike many rigging aids: * It does not fall over while I pull the wing out of the trailer. * It rolls easily over uneven ground. * It takes one hand to adjust the height, and I do not have to crawl under the wing to adjust the height. * It does not lean dangerously. * It does not damage the wing. * It has no loose parts (two pieces in trailer) * It requires no power * It does not require extensive training to operate I'm hoping to find something similarly easy for our Duo. Any recommendations ? Especially FIRST HAND experience from REGULAR use ? Note that the Duo wing is HEAVY and HIGH OFF THE GROUND. Very different from a 15m wing... Thanks in advance, Best Regards, Dave "YO electric" |
