I had hoped for an Easter weekend in Cornwall, but with snow, rain, gales and
generally
miserable weather I thought I'd make up some wing dolleys to aid self
rigging.
I've pretty much copied the design used by many; essentially two layups clamped
around the tip, hinged on the underside and supported by a two wheeled metal
frame the pivots to allow the wing to move from vertical to horizontal. The
layups
are curing now in this tropical heat so they should be ready by next Easter
:)
Anyone who has been using a similar design, can you suggest where to put the
pivot
point for a trigear wing? I planned to balance it so it's slightly leading-edge
heavy. It would then fall to the vertical for storage and when wheeling
it around.
Any comments from experience most welcome. I haven't built the frame yet.
