Hi Nick. The roll is made from corrugated drainage pipe covered with a neoprene sleeping mat - cost about 15 EUR. The fitting for the end of the trailer is made from aluminium square section tubing from Castorama - cost 5- 10 EUR. The pin on the fitting is made from Nylon tubing which I had to make to size on a lathe and also tap a thread in it to screw it securely to the fitting. Its probably 3-4 hours of work if you have some engineering skills.
So one man rig with two people... Great Idea!!
A lot of people for a one man rig.
man in green spoiled your video:) - no longer one man rigging. 2:06 - never drop the wing without pin in.
Is that guy in the green shirt part of the one man rigging system?
CloudStreets yes
After spending $150k on glider and trailer you are risking your glider with that kind of crap assembly aid? Wow
+Herbert Kilian ... And what precisely is crap about it?
+Herbert Kilian Omg so crabb lol
what material did you use for the rol and the fix for the wing on the trailer?
