LOL!. I guess people routinely spend $1500 or so on "One person
rigging aids" with no intention of ever using them for "one person
rigging" especially as two saw horses costing $40 will do exactly the
same if a second person is available. The second person in that case
doesn'r even do much.
BTW the electric remote control rigging aid is probably worth it. The
video of the guy rigging the standard Cirrus had an awful lot of
walking around the glider in it.

I hardly think the use of a lifting tool implies pilots are ignoring

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 <http://www.enstroj.si/>www.enstroj.si .
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.
