Merry Christmas to all.
I think these devices would be better described as "centre of gravity
rigging systems" rather than "single person rigging systems".
I had one for quite a while and the advantage was not just that I
could rig on my own (though I could given enough time, since it takes
longer to do the multiple walk-arounds needed). It was that anyone
could help, even small people or those with a bad back.
And even for able bodied weight lifters, it was nice to be able to
offer an easier way to do it.
Cheers

yeah, don't help anybody to lug around weights well in excess of any
OH&S rules. The bush lawyers out there will make you responsible for
anything going wrong for your life time from that point onwards.

Interesting. I'm surprised there is a market for single person
rigging tools in Australia with a second signature required.
I guess people just ignore the rules when it suits.

Peter and other interested parties.
As Jim points out, there are many manufacturers of one person rigging
devices However, one of the best that I have found on the web is
manufactured by the Enstroj company in Slovakia. This same company
manufactures the brushless electric motors being used by Pipistrel
and other glider manufacturers. They have a very good web site, with a
fifteen minute video of the device (SPRC) being used
to rig an electric Apis self launcher, which was the test bed for the
brushless electric motor. Also a good video of the Apis , which is now
available from Pipistrel.
see www.enstroj.si [2] .
The Pipistrel site is also worth a look. They have an interesting
range of sailplanes available, and sell at least some of them in kit
form, for those with talent, time and an interest in home building.
Regards, and merry Christmas to all

Hello Bob,
Sorry I don't have any info on a container from Europe.
However I am interested in any device that makes rigging gliders
easier.
Can you tell me a bit about your new device?

If anyone has a container or trailer coming into Australia from Europe
in the next few months, and could accommodate a 25 KG wooden box with
dimensions 820x660x230 mm I would like to hear from them.
I am hoping to purchase a particularly good one person rigging device
manufactured in Slovenia. Freight on its own however makes it
prohibitively expensive
