Todd Johnson has a set of wing walkers available to a new home.  They really help with wing alignment and make installing and removing the wings easy.  They are located in California.  Contact Todd at 916-705-0747 or Rick Stockton at 707-330-1717.

A bit costly to ship to Australia - 



I would like to see a photo of the rig opened up.



Also a plan with dimensions may help me build my own.



Thanks in anticipation.

I use this single hand rigging aid from an Austrian (not Australien ) manufacturer on my Trigear. As you can see on the other picture (with the trailer) the wing holder can be tilted by 90°.

Some other pictures (from different manufacturers), some even with electric motors and remote control.

Roland Schmidt - those look great! I can see how those help a lot. 



I am in the US, so shipping charges could be a bit steep, but who is the Austrian manufacturer, and do they still make these? If so, contact information would be nice.

Thanks!

Hi Jeff,



my rigging aid is manufactured by Chistoph Jütte. You can get in contact with him via c.juette(at)gmx.at 



Another popular manufacturer (especially within the sailplane community) is Spindelberger in Germany https://www.cobratrailer.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=41&language=en&osCsid=4i8iqontchpklo5pb3odjaa297



Pricing is about the same. The Cobra might need adaptation for the Europa though.



Cheers

Roland
